We finally did a little promo of some of the work we have made over the years! We are only a little company driven by (insert our own names caus we crap at self promotion) @lisafaalafi and @leahsheltonlive and we do our best to continue to create work that moves us, makes us feel joy, let’s us vent our anger at the world, pushes to change perspectives. Anyway this is just a small sample but we are proud of our work and everyone who shares the stage with us.
So congrats to us for keeping on keeping on and also stay turned for some more Polytoxic news soon caus… we don’t stop!

⚠️ Episode 1 of the QLD Fringe Podcast is now live on YouTube! (Link in bio). A series of conversations with leading creatives, exploring the tension between art and business. What could go wrong!? First up - prolific Queensland artists and Co-Artistic Directors of @poly.toxic : @lisafaalafi & @leahsheltonlive 🎭🔥
Vale Busty Beatz, the iconic, the irreplaceable, the razor-sharp, funny, political, unwavering artist & human - honouring over 15 years of collaboration with you, your epic mixes, wicked sense of humour, passionate support (not to mention your alter-ego Big M.I.C. - everyone’s fave misogynist music mogul 🍆).
It’s so hard to believe there won’t be another rehearsal room, living room, table of food we aren’t going to share together. How do you measure all these shared experiences & distil them down to a couple of sentences?
Your legacy will live on.
And yes, we’ll say it - Big M.I.C. really was THE BEST.
Polytoxic Loves You.
♥️♥️♥️
xx Lisa & Leah

HAPPY BIRTHDAY @leahsheltonlive
Celebrating ALLLL that she is!! Multifaceted, multitalented, peri rage filled, joyful, silly force of nature who I am lucky enough to share the helm of Polytoxic with. To have a collaboration that spans decades is a honour and privilege.
So let’s send some big alofa to Leah on her Birthday!!

What if we all had a regular chat about the arts and business? The walking contradiction and codependency of money and creativity?
