MUSIC SHOULDN’T BE USED TO KILL PEOPLE. 💥The #BoycottSpotify Remix challenge is now on- let’s supercharge this track! Link to stems in bio. (Also, don’t be put off by Meta’s ‘security warning’ on our account. I guess they just know a threat to corporate oligarchy when they see one! 😜)💥
New @formidableveg single: ‘Spotify, Where Music Goes To Die’ in response to the news that @spotify CEO @eldsjal Daniel Ek recently invested $700million of the money he ripped off of musicians over the years to fund the development of killer AI weapons. As artists, we don’t consent to being financial fuel for the War Machine, so we’ve taken down all of our songs from @spotifyaunz (following in the footsteps of other artists such as @kinggizzard @deerhoof and @xiuxiuforlife) EXCEPT this one, which will serve as a placeholder to let our listeners know WHY we’ve left and WHERE they should go to listen to our music elsewhere (*update: apparently Tidal has some shady connections, but @bandcamp still seems to be the best place to support artists… and @patreon for the hardcore fans of course!). So, in short: we’d encourage you all to cancel your Spotify subscriptions AS SOON AS POSSIBLE and start funding the world we want to see instead of the AI dystopia they would have us all dragged into! (If you’re worried about migrating all your playlists etc, don’t worry- there are plenty of apps that can do it for you - and pretty much all the same music exists on the other platforms as well!) So…who’s in to help us #BoycottSpotify ?

‘The Environment’ isn’t something external to us. It’s everywhere - inside and out - an inseparable part of us all. Knowing that, can we find and celebrate the common ground that binds us all instead of destroying it and ourselves in the process? From the soil that grows the microorganisms that feed the worms that feed the plants that feed the animals and beyond, we only have one chance to live as a responsible species on this tiny, blue-green marble floating in space. Let’s stop the violence and try everything possible to make it the most beautiful, peaceful and abundant place we can.

#Environment #Peace #Sustainability #Earth #Soil

Sick of doomscrolling? How about starting a band that sings about compost, organic gardening and adapting to the Anthropocene? 🤓 Formidable Vegetable was quite possibly the nerdiest idea for a band that I never had. The concept came from @katrinabutton (DJ in the clip with the rockmelon headphones) when we were doing a #permaculture course together and trying to find ways to spice up a class presentation.

Little did we know that a few years later, it would become a global (albeit niche!) sensation, rocking crowds at @glastofest delivering @tedx_official talks and shaking things up around #foodsovereignty at the @unitednations . Thanks to @pattrnsocial for putting together this little package, which was broadcast on US TV via @weatherchannel to over 70-million viewers!

So it’s official: there’s nothing too out-there when it comes to taking positive action for the planet! What’s your weird-ass idea?

What does it look like to weave art and permaculture together?

Charlie Mgee and Brenna Quinlan have been exploring this playfully and meaningfully through music, illustration, activism and so much more 🌿

Permaculture Artivism with Charlie Mgee & Brenna Quinlan

Find free tickets and more info through the link in bio!

Proof that we’re a cool band that does cool things like tour n stuff… (but only in Queensland) Come see for realsies nek month! Please get tickets, so we don’t have to cancel any shows. Let’s make this worth it. *Disclaimer: ‘Triple Yay’ may not be a real radio station… but it should be!

Massive props to our good pal Theo (who is quite possibly the youngest presenter @rtrfm has ever had on air) for spinning our track Yield on Drivetime along with several other bangers from @post_nut_clarity_music @thewitchydjypsies @we_are_ratsalad and more. If this is the next gen’s taste in music, the world of radio is in good hands!

“When you have protesters like this, it just disrupts the entire organisation” - thanks for the feedback, Liz. Good to know we’re achieving our intended outcome! 😄 Still buzzing from singing @angiemcmahon ‘s cover of Reckless to the CEO and shareholders at the Woodside AGM. I think this should be a new band/music genre. MineKraftWerk? R-AGM Against the Extraction Machine? If anyone needs another song sung to a $14mil per annum-earning CEO, please keep me and this legendary climate choir in mind!
Thanks to @greenpeaceap @tilly__kay @tanyaransom @dandy_kandy @phoebecorke @hear_her_roarr @helenplaysmusic @writingtheriver @lucyspeaches @brenna_quinlan @stephhodginsmay and the throng of other legends who gleefully disrupted and sung truth to a climate, Country & reef-wrecking (among many other things) behemoth.

“She don’t like that kinda behaviour…” Had fun with @greenpeaceap and a choir of musical legends singing truth to power at today’s Woodside AGM, where reckless shareholders continue to invest in a reckless company doing reckless things to Country, people and planet. The latest in their never-ending string of recklessness is their proposed destruction of the pristine Scott Reef ecosystem off the north coast of WA to further their climate-wrecking fossil fuel pursuits. Maybe instead, we could use this unique moment of manufactured scarcity to become wiser with our energy use instead of grabbing nature by the forelock and demanding she give us more. Thanks to @angiemcmahon for the lyrical inspiration on an Australian classic and all of the beautiful voices including @lucyspeaches @tilly__kay @tanyaransom @brenna_quinlan @pvikelli @zmbarron @dandy_kandy @hear_her_roarr @helenplaysmusic @writingtheriver and loads more!

Had an absolutely raucous time at the @fremantlestreetartsfestival yesterday eve. This might be the best one of these we’ve done! Thanks to all who participated in the collective exuberance. 💚🙏🏼 📹: @miss_sherie17

No war but class war. ✊☮️
Remixes welcome.

Compost dunny dancefloors, intimate acoustic reverie and blowing kids minds with glitch-funk… That’s my jam! Just had the first party at our community centre aka ‘The Herbi’ in over a decade - and it was a cracker! The building had become a bit run down, so what better way to fix it back up into a functional permaculture/party space than with a slappin community FUNdraiser! Thanks to the loads of Kwoorabup/Denmark folks who came out (despite the drizzle) in support & celebration and the bands @benfrancisart @theprimordialnotes + James & Jake on tech as well as Andy May for bringing his steampunk bakery on wheels and all of our hardworking, cake-baking, chai-making, grass-raking Peaceniks who worked their butts off to make it happen. Cheers to @thejuicemedia for capturing some of the magic and to everyone for helping raise over $5k to resurrect this incredible community space! Feeling blessed to live in this amazing place 🙏🏼
