After moving to Beechworth a few years ago, journalist Doug Wallen started the weekly radio show Waste the Alphabet on Indigo FM, showcasing new independent Australian and New Zealand music. In July the show spawned a band-stacked party in Ballarat called (of course) Waste the Alphafest, which now makes its Melbourne debut with some of the most exciting bands in town: Quivers, No Sister, Kosmetika, Elizaband, Lyndon Blue and Eggy. Topped off with Lymes from Ballarat and Sulfate (Peter Ruddell of Wax Chattels) from Auckland, this is an up-to-the-minute showcase of our thriving, evolving, world-beating underground.
