FBi Radio, Sydney’s leading community station, already had a mightily impressive lineup of bands for its 10th birthday bash, with an impressive list of bands coming out to celebrate the station’s decade long dedication to pumping the lifeblood of Sydney’s creative culture.
With The Presets, Hermitude, Seekae, and Decoder Ring amongst the already announced 35 acts playing across four stages at iconic Sydney venue Carriageworks for the FBi 10th Birthday Festival 2013 lineup, leading to the first round of tickets to sell out and a second release shifting fast for FBi Turns 10, taking place on Sunday 8th September.
Now FBi has enlisted a whole other set of amazing local artists to perform at their 10th Birthday festival lineup in their second (but not final) announcement. Leading the list is long-term FBi favourite, the sweethearted Sarah Blasko who will stun the audience with her evocative songwriting, while enfant terrible Kirin J Callinan will provide the provocative, in his distinct brand of art-laced rock.
Also joining the lineup are Brisbane punks Bleeding Knees Club, kaleidoscopic pop act Deep Sea Arcade, winner of FBi’s Northern Lights competition Oliver Tank, hip hop hero Katalyst, electronic adventurers Fishing, and Sydney supergroup Naughty Rappers Collective.
Over at the hip hop stage, which already features heavyweights such as Urthboy and Spit Syndicate, will be taken over by a very special performance by the Big Village Allstars, with acts from across the label’s roster. Many of the acts on the bill have waived their usual performance fees in order to support FBi and it’s crucial role in fostering the development of the Australian music scene over the last decade.
FBi commenced broadcasting on August 29, 2003 as the first community radio station dedicated to playing 50% Australian music, half of that from Sydney. FBi’s sound and authenticity has connected with the people of Sydney and the station now boasts a weekly audience of 250,000 listeners.
FBi Turns 10! doubles as a fundraiser for the not-for-profit, volunteer-run station. It will allow FBi to further its mission of making Sydney one of the most vibrant and culturally interesting cities in the world, through grassroots support for local music, art and culture.
