Triple J to host More Than A One Night Stand Sessions to help budding musicians

Triple J has announced the return of its much-loved More Than A One Night Stand Sessions which will be hosted in the South West this month.

The free music sessions were designed to give emerging and established artists a platform and were first launched at the One Night Stand concert in 2024 in Victoria.

The event offers artists an opportunity to learn, meet and hear from people in the Australian music industry.

This year’s South West event will feature an In Conversation talk with Spacey Jane, a workshop for regional artists and a session with members from West Australian band DICE.

The In Conversation event runs from 10.30am to 11.30am on May 24 where the band will reflect on their career with Triple J host Ash McGregor.

Spacey Jane — known for the songs Booster Seat, Feeding the Family, Good For You and Thrills — are expected to talk about the barriers regional artists face when trying to break in to the industry, as well as opportunities, connections and pathways.

The hour-long Tapped In workshop will run on May 23 from 5pm with Triple J Unearthed winners Fool Nelson leading the activity.

Hailing from Perth and Busselton, two brothers and their best mate make up the band known for the songs Bad Dreams, Way I Am and Don’t Feel Right.

They will be alongside other industry members to discuss being an artist in regional and rural communities, hosted by Triple J’s Lucy Smith

DICE — known for the songs Stop Sign, Bad Tattoo and This is Not a Love Song — will host the How To Build Off Initial Success session, which is also led by Sam Ford, a Margaret River producer and artist manager.

The workshop builds on techniques for growth in the music industry after an initial breakthrough in the entertainment industry.

All sessions are held at the Busselton Youth and Community Activities Building.

The More Than A One Night Stand event makes its appearance the same weekend as the Triple J One Night Stand concert where Spacey Jane, DICE and Fool Nelson are playing in Busselton alongside LUUDE, Ruby Fields and Blusher.

The concert begins at 2pm on May 24 in Bernard Park, Busselton, with tickets open to all ages.
