Beats That Bind – A live music event to support refugees
PRESS RELEASE:
Students undertaking the Project and Event Management unit at the Australian Institute ofMusic (Melbourne) are hosting a music event at Rubix Warehouse (Brunswick) on Saturday November 14th 2015. We are a country born of multiculturalism, and by working together, we are seeking to produce an event that celebrates diversity through music, while raising awareness of current issues surrounding refugees in Australia. Music is a languagethat unites all cultures, and we are proud to use this as our platform. By showcasing three acts that support this cause, we encourage both students, as well as the wider community, to increase their awareness on the issue.
Diafrix

Guaranteed to get the room bouncing as they shake the foundations of the intimate venue,Diafrix’s headline set is one that you will not want to miss…. Don’t say we didn’t warn you!
