Hay Park, Bunbury
Groovin' The Moo is a travelling musical event like no other in Australia, setting up shows in regional

came back with a vengeance for it's second time in 2011 hosting a line up of The Drums, The Go!
Team, Cut Copy, Bliss n Eso, Washington and Birds of Tokyo, yet again selling out.
SBTRKT is an artist we can’t wait to see in the flesh at Laneway 2012. We first heard ‘Wildfire’ a while back = instant love. Being HUGE Little Dragon fans ourselves (who feature in the track), we were incredibly excited for this song and to listen to MOAR. Yes, moar. As a general rule at [...]

We hope you’ve had some food, drunk some gatorade or do whatever you need to do (take a day off) to help you through [...]

As you may have already heard, the genius brains that are in our heads (yes, gloating a little), have come up with pretty much the niftiest promo we’ve ever run – the PROMOTEROTION! Needless to say, [...]

Read More>>The title of this blog could be seen as a biased statement but here at Sunset HQ, we believe that there is actually some (or a lot) of truth to it and we’d like to tell you why. We’ve asked around the office and here are 5 reasons you should get excited… 1. We’re going [...]
Read More>>As we’ve just announced the final additions to the Southbound 2012 line up (which in case you missed it, include Grouplove, Miles Kane, The Naked & Famous, Split Seconds, Tijuana Cartel and The Vines) it’s become apparent that we have artists for nearly every letter of the alphabet. The only ones we’re missing are I, [...]
Read More>>Aight so it may have been many years since they were stomping about the place but man, back in their day, they were the coolest cats around. Yep, we’re talking dinosaurs. Who doesn’t love them? The term “dinosaur” comes from the Greek words “deino” and “saurus” which literally means “terrible lizzard”. That’s just RAD. When [...]

Yeah, we’re (incredibly) jealous. Here’s to hoping that she has learnt the deepest secret for work and life and will actually share it [...]

It is in fact, our Cheese of the Season. Our office has an unhealthy obsession with this beautifully crumbly chunk of fermented milk and the way it cuts [...]
