HYDRANT Food Hall is set to fill with Good Vibes; an evening of music and food planned for Saturday week.<\/p>\n
Organiser and musician Dave Myers, also known by his DJ name Cosmic Frequencies, said he\u2019s putting on the 18-plus event as there are limited gig opportunities around Ballarat.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s a huge live electronic scene in Ballarat. We\u2019re a growing town, with all these creative people, but there\u2019s nowhere for us to play. I thought I would put on my own party,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cGood Vibes is the name of the event, and it\u2019s all about celebrating being out and around fun people interested in connecting through music and food.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt will be a fun night for anyone who wants to come to have some food, drinks, hear a mix of bands and DJs that play both chill and dance music, and have a dance.\u201d<\/p>\n
Psychedelic folk-rockers The Thing from Spring and DJ Xander Fly are booked to play alongside Myers as Cosmic Frequencies.<\/p>\n
Myers said he will aim open up attendees\u2019 minds to new audio-visual experiences as well, with the work of Michael Groth to be projected on the wall; videos of blended VHS tapes.<\/p>\n
The space will be LGBTQIA+ friendly, accessible to people of all abilities, and he said anti-social behaviour will not be tolerated.<\/p>\n
If the event is successful, Myers plans to run more of its kind. His dream is to have his own record label where he can champion Ballarat\u2019s electronic music scene, and broadly share the talent of local artists.<\/p>\n
