About Baditude RnR ( ABN 41 611 448 494 )

BADITUDE ROCK N ROLL embodies the synergy between working musicians and influential figures within the music industry. With a rich history spanning over four decades and numerous musical endeavours, one common thread has persisted: the relentless quest for knowledge and connections to thrive in the music world, making it not only successful but also enjoyable, free from unnecessary obstacles.

Today, our passion is to pave the way for others, especially budding musicians, and emerging bands, by establishing a central nexus of local contacts that can offer assistance, facilitate networking, and champion the exceptional talents within our community.

We are dedicated to supporting local music retailers and businesses by promoting their products and services, boosting sales, and fostering the exchange of knowledge and experiences with their clientele. Join us on this exciting journey, where we have a plethora of offerings in store for you, including podcasts, interviews, live music streaming, giveaways, competitions, and much more to keep the rhythm of our music community alive.

In a constantly evolving landscape filled with up-and-coming musicians and aspiring artists looking to elevate their careers, our experience has demonstrated that, while many are connected in some way, the local music scene can sometimes feel fragmented and isolated. Our aim is to establish a comprehensive hub, a single point of convergence, where local musicians and music service providers can unite, fostering a stronger support system and resource network for the entire region.

We are committed to sharing as much information as possible, contributing to the growth of this journey together. You can contribute by allowing us to promote you through our various platforms and social media channels, whether you are a musician, band, PA rental service, studio offering rehearsal and recording spaces, music retailer, artist manager, video producer, or venue. We are also own and operate RICHMOND RECORDS to assist in original work promotion.

Join us in creating this much-needed epicentre for all things music, where the heart of our local music community can beat stronger than ever before.
