"A Newy Dozen"
New South Wales, Australia
Original Concept:
In my quest to balance my InCoAlMo goals against my personal goals for (what will very likely be) my final 10 months in Australia, i finally (8 days late) came up with a concept that might work for me.
This year's project will be focused on exploring, listening, and writing about local independent music.
The mission:
1) Seek and discover 12 regional indy bands with original material that i find engaging.
2) Write (and, if possible, record) a music review (equating to about 3.5 minutes of spoken material) on each band.
3) Attempt to see at least one of these bands perform live before the end of March.
This endeavor is definitely a new twist on the InCoAlMo challenge for me, but i think it might be a great way to both rekindle my love of finding obscure indy music and immerse myself deeper into my temporary home here in Australia.
