About
About this site
A short, honest description of what this site is and is not.
An independent information site
Sleeve Notes is an independent information site about independent music culture, with a focus on the Australian indie and alternative scene. It explains how that scene grew, how community radio works, how to find new bands, how to start a music podcast, how bands book shows and how to enjoy a gig.
It is not affiliated with any radio station, label, venue, festival, band or media outlet. It does not review albums or concerts, sell tickets or merchandise, and it does not speak for any artist.
How the guides are written
The guides stick to well established, general facts. We avoid unverifiable claims, rankings and figures, and where something is unclear we write it more generally. Venues, stations, rules and prices change, so please check them directly before you plan anything.
Corrections
If you notice a mistake, treat the information here as a starting point and consult primary sources, such as a station, venue, label or regulator's own pages.
