This weekend Remote Control one of Australia’s best known and hardest working independent labels will be throwing their special 15th birthday extravaganza, with appearances from Sunbeam Sound Machine, Dorsal Fins, Milwaukee Banks, and more.
The celebrations will be part of the ongoing Label of Love series at Melbourne’s Shadow Electric, which will see a gang of Australia’s favourite indie labels putting on their own carefully curated concerts.
You can check out the full lineup and set times below, but organisers are telling fans to keep an eye out because they’ve also have some very special guests appearing (we can’t say who exactly but we do suggest that you ‘Float Along’ *wink* to Shadow Electric to find out yourself).
The whole shindig is set to go down on Sunday, 12th June (Queen’s Birthday long weekend) and tickets are on sale now. Make sure you scoop yours up fast to be there when Remote Control records celebrate 15 awesome years in the business.
To celebrate what’s set to be killer party the team at Remote Control have created a very special birthday playlist which you can check out below.
