At the moment, as you've noticed, there's not a lot of bands around in Melbourne, Victoria, that play music associated with another culture/language, etc etc (ie j-rock, or HK-rock/pop.) Currently, a6m is one of the only bands with any popularity (albeit very minor) that plays non-western music (although in the "western style") with any regularity. Previously, there was a sort of "Asian Music Network" that has happened along the way. a6m would like to contribute to that factor.
What this means is that basically if you're in a garage band, and playing a different style of music than what's the norm here (ie singing in a different language) and confined only to your garage, a6m would like to help you get out and get noticed. a6m play a number of gigs, on a regular schedule, and would like to invite budding musicians to have a spot to share the bill and to 'show their talents'. (And we're sure there's many out that that might not have the opportunity to do so.) If you don't have equipment, don't worry about it.. something will definitely be worked out. How this is planned to work is that there is a network made with Asians/otherstyle musicians, and when a gig comes up, there will be an opportunity for the bands to play to an audience.
