Many of you got a great taste of how dope Sachém is at our finale shows. Check out a little update on where he's at

Sachém calls the Quandamooka Music Festival site in North Stradbroke "paradise" and, to the delight of his fans, reveals that his debut album isn't too far off.

Come thru this Sunday 🏴‍☠️💰

ET25: The Hugs Tour ❤️🫂

14/06/2024

It is SO good to be here in Melbourne. Absolutely beautiful city to come to when it comes to music. Naarm has been so good to us 🐘🐘. We say farewell tomorrow at Melbourne Recital with very special guest Monkey Marc on decks ❤

14/06/2024

Inspired by Khaled Nabhan, the grandfather who mourned the murder of his granddaughter Reem, in social media videos that broke our hearts months ago. And yet the genocide continues. Make it stop!!

MY GOOOOOOOODNESS

Brisbane was next level. This video captures a bit of it. On Saturday we say our final farewell at Melbourne Recital Centre and there are still tickets to the matinee show at 3pm.

Josh Hickie yr crazy for this shoot and edit 🙏

11/06/2024

Is this Saturday in Melbourne really the end?

Yep. Tix for the matinee in bio. You gotta come 💯❤️

Meanjin came with us on Sat night ❤️

This time next Friday we'll be at ACMI in Melbourne for a special celebration of Elefant Traks music videos in their beautiful cinema. Imagine some of our videos on the big screen! But also, we'll be chatting on stage, talking about stories from each video and answering questions.

It's a must if you're into the magic of how videos and music work together to tell a story. I've always marvelled at how a music video can make a song transcendent, like with Joelistics' song 'Out of the Blue'. It's endlessly interesting how the visual form evolves the music form, in good, bad and unexpected ways. Oh by the way, we'll have Joelistics on stage, as well as Urthboy, Jane Tyrrell and ET founder Kenny Sabir. Friday night at Fed Square, let's go!

Celebrate the 25-year journey of indie music label Elefant Traks with a discussion about the music videos that created an iconic era of Australian music.

OKAAAYYY BRISBANE / MEANJIN..

Here's the deal: Saturday's show at the Tivoli is not like a regular gig, it's an ALL-IN gala style performance featuring heaps of artists. It is not each artist doing their own sets.

We're honoured to have living legend DJ KATCH from the iconic Hydrofunk Records Official spinning tunes from doors at 7pm.

As we did in Sydney, we will have two Auslan interpreters on stage the whole show.

Welcome to Country - 8.20pm
SHOW STARTS - 8.30pm

There will be an intermission, partly cos the band are giving it so hard they need a breather. Then we go into the second half. The show is about 3 hours. It will pass by fast and we do ask for you to sing along, clap, cry, laugh and have the best night of the year.

There are a handful of tickets but it's almost soldout baby

"What I've learned over the years is that community is not a destination that you aspire to create and then settle on - it is continually evolving and restless," he adds. "It's a place for a whole bunch of really disparate people to share a vision." - Urthboy

Thanks to Beat Mag in Naarm for the write-up. We look forward to celebrating with our Melbourne fam on Saturday week. Still tickets to the matinee show baby!

If you came to the show on Sunday night in Sydney, how would you describe it to ppl coming to Brisbane or Melbourne, and those who might but haven't got tickets yet?

27/05/2024

ABOUT LAST NIGHT

We said we'd wind our label down but ended up shutting down the Opera House instead 🧡🔥

25/05/2024

REHEARSALS ARE DONE

WOW

1 zillion per cent get a ticket if you're in Melb or Bris, you don't wanna miss this 🧡

23/05/2024

Songs have been charted. Band instruments have rehearsed. Production crew have been the unsung heroes pretty much carrying us all. Final rehearsals start tomorrow, continue Saturday and then..

Sunday.

No offence to daddies 😆

Nice to see this snapshot of our story in the Guardian. Our artists are the VIPs but the staff behind the scenes have always cared immensely. Most of us are artists so even though we can't control the success, we feel the highs and we feel the lows. Big acknowledgement to all the people who've given so much of themselves to ET and our artists.

From Dale Harrison to Kaho Cheung, Jannah Beth to Caitlin McGregor, Richard Tamplenizza to Ash Maher, Owen Field to Sally Coleman, Carolina De La Piedra to Sofia Nicotra, Channa Xaypangna to Sereen Omran and Jen Ng and all the volunteers at the start. It takes a lot of people to carry the load over 26 years :)

On the eve of its final shows, the label’s key members reflect on their ‘activist roots’, their global success and the acts they broke – including Hermitude, Horrorshow and the Herd

ATTN ELEFANT FAM:

We’re working on a secret project and we need your help ! All you have to do for now is answer the 3 questions below:

1. What’s your favourite or most meaningful memory of ET? that one album that changed your life / gig you went to with your bestie / song you shared with your partner or that helped you through something?

2. What does Elefant Traks mean to you? When the curtains have closed, how do you think it should be remembered ?

3. Are you coming to one of our ET25 Finale Parties kicking off this week!?

Maybe you should go for a walk or a long drive?

That'd give you time to listen to our founder Kenny Sabir, and co-founder Kaho Cheung (both in the Herd) talk about ET. It's 2 hours long and I'm only halfway through it and there's already some juicy goss in here!!! It's a really fascinating insight into our story told through the passionate lens of a big fan (Mick the host) and two ppl who were there at the start. Let us know what you think..

About six weeks ago, Elefant Traks, one of the most influential Australian record labels to ever exist, announced that after 25 years it would be closing its doors.. The label will be going out in style with a huge party at the Opera House on 26th May, but The Tuckshop did something special in conju...

I've seen Horrorshow and Jane sing this a few times and it's never anything less than spectacular the way their voices and tones complement each other. Can we talk Horrorshow and Jane Tyrrell into performing this at our finale shows? Can you imagine this with a big band at the Opera House or The Tivoli or Melbourne Recital Centre? Make it happen fam!

AUGUST 9 - We takin' over! 🔥⁠
⁠
Come down and join us at .barangaroo for a night full of good food, good music and good vibes.⁠
⁠
💥 DGGZ (the bass player in The Herd) doubles as a longtime record collector. He only started DJIng so as to have an excuse to buy more records back in the late 90s as part of the seminal Frigid crew. These days he rarely gets to take his extensive record collection out to play - his selections will be unexpectedly eclectic. ⁠
Along with him is legendary rapper, Solo, from inner west faves 💥 Horrorshow. Better known on the mic, in the last few years has taken to building his selections of soul and funk and regularly does a youtube live set of 'Recordlections' for his Patreon followers. ⁠
💥 Rounding out the lineup is a long time friend of the label Diola. A DJ's DJ, her selections and music knowledge are impeccable and she's also very nice on the cut and is musically gifted on the mix.
