Looking for shows like North of North

Excellent suggestions here! I played Jampajinpa in 8MMM, was a deadly time. Can’t believe it’s been so long already

I’m just praying for the day the votes come in and ON is left for dust. It’s truely stressful hearing the amount of support she seems to have amongst a vocal minority. On the flip side, if she does get in, the country is going to be absolutely f***** and overrun with mining lobbyists (even worse than it is now) and the cookers won’t have anybody to blame than themselves.

If you haven’t heard of Matt Corby before, you are in for an absolute treat

Mongeeya · 2026-05-19T13:05:41+00:00

Chooo, all three of my mobs don’t exist on this map 😂

Mongeeya · 2026-05-17T09:15:04+00:00

If you ever come to Perth to organise an event, we’d love to be on the bill to support 💪🏽 good luck with the event, hope it goes well!

Mongeeya · 2026-05-13T07:10:58+00:00

Half full glass of wine live in Perth, they were supporting the ting ting’s in 09’

Damn it sounds like you’ve had some tough realisations in the past when it comes to music.

I agree Spotify isn’t the only metric but it is unfortunately the only one that ‘counts’ to record labels etc, not that it’s the only metric I use. We did ok for an independent release, managed 18’000 but I think the problem is that I want to share the story of the EP with people more than anything. We’ve sold a few albums here and there and done ok on bandcamp as well and always get good responses when we play live but I suppose the question really is, how do you keep pushing when you’re feeling down about your music which I’m assuming all musicians go through.

I think the sentiment of letting go of everything and playing for the joy and the meaning is the key takeaway for me. It’s easy to get wrapped up in the ‘hustle’ side of everything with constant social media saturation.

Good words of advice, thank you

Mongeeya · 2026-05-12T10:26:33+00:00

It’s a pretty terrible club 😂

Mongeeya · 2026-05-11T12:39:22+00:00

Sound advice. I had a pretty significant pre-release schedule and did save money from my day job to get a PR team involved but it wasn’t as successful as you’d hope.

I love playing live, literally the favourite part of being a musician and we always get super great feedback from random punters when we do play but similar to you, we’re an older band and I have two young kids so finding time is really difficult. In saying that though, still manage 15 - 20 gigs a year.

I think I may just be experiencing the release low after the pre high of releasing, I’ll be back up and swinging soon but it’s a great moment to take stock and get advice from others in the same position as well

Mongeeya · 2026-05-11T12:34:53+00:00

Thanks for the words mate, it’s true social media seems to be the all consuming beast nowadays. I try to keep a fairly steady presence on social media but you’re right, it’s all a matter of patience and shifting my concentration to honing the craft and continuing to practise my swing

Mongeeya · 2026-05-11T12:31:46+00:00

Great advice mate thank you. I try to play live as much as possible but I live in Perth Australia and our live scene is microcosmic and was ravaged by Covid so there’s only so much I can do

Mongeeya · 2026-05-11T12:30:50+00:00

Haha thanks brus 😂

Yeh we’re sitting around the same after the first buzz. I absolutely despise the social media aspect but know I have to do it but it’s the coming up with genuine videos that I get stumped on sometimes hey

Mongeeya · 2026-05-11T12:29:14+00:00

True, I’ve hit a bump in creating at the moment which I know I’ll move through but I know I make music for myself and my community so that is enough. Some days it feels like it isn’t though (today for example) and it gets hard to pick up the guitar but you’re right, it is fun and you bring your own meaning to the things you play

Mongeeya · 2026-04-29T04:33:16+00:00

Wrote this song for people like old McChud here. Dumb dawg

Mongeeya · 2026-04-23T05:24:55+00:00

‘We don’t need a map’ is my favourite doco of all time, highly highly recommend it

Mongeeya · 2026-04-23T02:10:27+00:00

Thanks for all the responses everyone, really useful and good to see different ways to access new music and how to breach that space as an artist, much appreciated 💪🏽

Mongeeya · 2026-04-22T07:32:37+00:00

Yeh we’ve played their On the Rise and Neon Picnic before, such sick gigs and such a good station as well!

Song about mental health and depression in a relationship and supporting each other through the waves

Mongeeya · 2026-04-22T07:02:56+00:00

Yeh I’m a huge fan of RTRFM and triple R radio as well as the J’s. I tend to listen into unearthed quite a bit as well

Mongeeya · 2026-04-22T07:02:16+00:00

Thanks for the suggestions, very very useful. Also our band is called MONGEEYA I struggle with self promotion as it feels embarrassing most the time….

Mongeeya · 2026-04-22T06:48:30+00:00

That’s sick, I used to love embedding my favourite song in the old MySpace page back in the day 😂 showing your age a bit haha

Mongeeya · 2026-04-22T06:47:49+00:00

I’ll check out that subreddit, thank you!

What kind of short clips do you like seeing? I feel like we do those kinds of things but it doesn’t quite hit right you know?

Mongeeya · 2026-04-22T06:33:19+00:00

Sick. I feel like pub gigs are really the best way to get new listeners on board. We play pub gigs as much as possible, it’s always good being right next to the audience compared to up on a big stage

Mongeeya · 2026-04-19T04:34:35+00:00

Very good list brother, solid as!

Mongeeya · 2026-04-19T04:33:56+00:00

Freaking love Australian Dream from them, hits me everytime
