1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,640
Speaker 1: Jumb mission with Jonesy and Amanda I guess on the

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:06,880
Speaker 1: hearts and ears of the country through the band Killing Heidi.

3
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:09,280
Speaker 1: Of course we also know her from Spicks and Specs.

4
00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:12,360
Speaker 1: And with much of the country in lockdown and facing restrictions,

5
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:16,960
Speaker 1: Australian artists are facing more devastation with their income. Gigs

6
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:19,480
Speaker 1: are canceled. It's just a very very tough time where

7
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:20,520
Speaker 1: we have some good news.

8
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:22,079
Speaker 2: Ella Hooper, Hello.

9
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 3: Hi, good morning. How you going very well?

10
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 1: I was just saying earlier that we turned to the

11
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 1: arts when the country is in a crisis, when there's

12
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 1: a flood, when there's a fire, or the arts step

13
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 1: up and entertain us. And we're now sitting at home

14
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:39,560
Speaker 1: streaming music, we're streaming shows, but those artists aren't getting

15
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 1: the support that they need.

16
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 3: Yes, look, I mean that's the role of the arts.

17
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 3: It's to unify, it's to shoo, that's to heal. It's

18
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:51,519
Speaker 3: just tell stories and reflect. You know, our various states

19
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 3: are being. When we're up, we reflect that. When we're down,

20
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 3: we reflect that. And it really really is important. I

21
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 3: don't want to get too intellectual about it, but it's

22
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 3: a really critical I think in a civilized society. We

23
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:05,679
Speaker 3: use and we need the arts, but we just don't

24
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 3: talk about it or think about it much. The big

25
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 3: sort of goes on without saying but sometimes we need

26
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 3: to talk about it.

27
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 1: So what's happening now with this is called Isole, isol Aid,

28
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 1: home grown, isolated, Like this is.

29
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:23,040
Speaker 3: Our sort of our sending our love down a well

30
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 3: moment And that's a little Simpsons reference there for anyone who

31
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 3: we're sort of gathering together and it's a wonderful thing.

32
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:33,680
Speaker 3: So this one's a bit of a mouthful, but to

33
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 3: break it down for you, it's a big, big collaboration.

34
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:40,119
Speaker 3: So Isolate is an online streaming festival that's already been

35
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 3: going gangbusters since the very first sort of lockdown in Melbourne.

36
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 3: It's a fantastic initiative. Gives us somewhere to perform, gives

37
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 3: us somewhere to connect, It gives us another platform while

38
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 3: live concerts are not a thing, you know, and it's

39
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 3: just been getting bigger and bigger and bigger. And this

40
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 3: one is I want to say competition, because we're basically

41
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 3: opening up the isol Aid festival platform for this homegrown

42
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 3: rolling festival. Every two weeks. We're giving that sort of

43
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 3: massive platform because this is purpose some really established artists

44
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 3: as well as some up and comers, so people will

45
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 3: be able to enter and win a place in the festival,

46
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 3: so they will get a performance slot on Homegrown the Festival,

47
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 3: but they'll also be in the running to win this

48
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 3: wonderful company called ninety nine Designs, which is a graphics

49
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 3: and content company, basically to twenty five two thousand dollars

50
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 3: grants for creative work and artwork from freelance professional graphic designers.

51
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 3: And that's actually a huge part of being a MUSO

52
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 3: two and the flow on effect of releasing stuff and

53
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 3: making tour posts, making t shirts, making record covers, selling

54
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 3: all that merch is often how we survive. So we're

55
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 3: basically giving people, the artists the chance to have a

56
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 3: free merch creation package that they can then sell to

57
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 3: their sands. Twenty five of those going out there. And

58
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 3: then there's one ten thousand dollars grant which is pretty chunky,

59
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,919
Speaker 3: nothing to be sneezed at, and that's actually chosen by

60
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 3: like a panel of expit. I'm very excited because I

61
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 3: get to be on that panel of judges and chose

62
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 3: who gets the ten thousand dollar grant to boost their

63
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 3: career and help their creative growth in this crazy time,

64
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,839
Speaker 3: and that person also gets a dedicated one on one

65
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 3: hour long mentoring session with me about so writing or

66
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:27,679
Speaker 3: about career or whatever they want to do, which is

67
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 3: actually something I do a lot of behind the scenes already.

68
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 3: I do quite a bit of mentoring for various sort

69
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 3: of musical organizations and stuff like that. So it's really exciting.

70
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 2: It's better than just putting electrical tape on your drum

71
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 2: on your bass drum skin saying the name of your band?

72
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: Is that what you did?

73
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 3: That's two. That's good too, But yeah, this is a

74
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 3: bit more high end.

75
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 2: Did you ever do that? In Killing Heidi? Did you

76
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 2: ever have like on the drum skin? Just killing HAIDI

77
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 2: written in electrical tape, We used.

78
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 3: Pain, We use all sorts of things with views that go.

79
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 3: We'll probably used blue tag at some stage and you know,

80
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 3: Texas sharpies. But I think I think that the tape

81
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 3: is really good option.

82
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, but it's a sign that you've truly made

83
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 2: it when you've got the drum skin at the front

84
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 2: and it's got the name of the band on it,

85
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 2: you know, that's the cool professionally done, not with electrical tape,

86
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 2: but professionally done mum's old wax strips.

87
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, that could be one of these artists chooses to do.

88
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 3: In fact, that's a really good idea. They could use

89
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 3: their two thousand dollars graphic design grant to get the

90
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:23,160
Speaker 3: drum skins done.

91
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 1: They just get some electrical tape and a giant bag

92
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: of mixed.

93
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 2: Lolly and that's it. That's what I well, it's so great.
