The Australian Music Guide

In its fifth year as a 40+ page colour and mono print publication made available at South by Southwest to all attendees in their showbags and at key retailers or music venues, The Australian Music Guide is being published by the Streetpress Australia Group for the 2008 SxSW event. It will also remain online as PDFs here.

The key contact for advertising and marketing in the 2008 Australian Music Guide is Leigh Treweek based at SPA's Melbourne headquarters. His contacts are leigh@streetpress.com.au or (03) 9421 4499.

It's been the key marketing coup for Australian artists, labels, state and national music associations and other delegates looking to have a greater presence at the event. It is also supported by AUSTRADE, the Federal Government's export marketing arm, through their Australian Music Office in Los Angeles.

The magazine has an extensive amount of editorial on participating bands and delegates as well as historical information on the Australian music industry, a mini-directory of the key players in the business, profiles and how to do business with the Australians at the event as well as back home.
