Brisbane Dance Parties Archive Online Book

Brisbane Dance Parties Archive Online Book

the project aims to help document the Brisbane dance parties, hip hop and sound art communities from 1987-2001. I chose this period because it is when I lived in Brisbane and went to many (many) of these events. I relocated to Sydney for work then overseas, then back to Sydney, so I'll probably include some things up to 2004 also (prior to moving o/s). I hope there will one day be a printed & online book - possibly a pdf/ipad book/zine too - until then, this site (& my email) is used to collate information.

http://www.brisbanedancepartiesarchive.com/allarticles has the full list of articles (so far). there's a LOT missing still, many names, artists/groups, events, so please be patient.

I've upgraded the site software to fix the broken-images-issue, so hopefully they'll be online again soon. I'm in the process of sorting the articles into different 'chapters' too, so things may be changing. hopefully I can streamline things soon to make it easier to navigate

the project is in research stage - I work on this in my *spare* (!?) time so it's moving slowly, but surely

a HUGE thank you to everyone who has provided flyers, memories, information and contact details
