We all want to support local artists. We need the independent music scene in Sydney.
Musicians should not need to go on a reality TV show or do ten different band competitions in order to get noticed.
Femme Locale is a non-competitive platform for local female singer/songwriters, showcasing unsigned, emerging artists. Sexy, talented, fresh faces and voices varying widely in genres and styles, Femme Locale promises to deliver awesome, original music, giving a feminine twist to the Sydney live music scene.
Not just a feast for the ears, Femme Locale is also intended as a space for visual artists to collaborate and display their artworks.
Music and art come together for an evening of sass and seduction, delivered by some of Sydney’s best female talent.
Femme Locale is launching at Sydney’s premiere live music venue The Basement, on Thursday 13th September, 2012. Acts lined up for this exciting, new event are:
Rainbow Chan (www.rainbowchan.com.au)
Miss Little (www.misslittle.com.au)
Lucy B (www.lucyb.com.au)
Lily So (www.lilyso.com)
Tickets are $15 (plus booking fee), and are available at www.thebasement.com.au and at the door.

Femme Locale needs your help! In order for people to take notice in the music scene, we need funds to help advertise and also to maintain the website.
The aim of Femme Locale is to showcase every month or two months, and websites and advertising can be costly. The money raised will kickstart the project, and will contribute towards the following:
- Website set up
- Branding design
- Promotional material and press advertising
- Pop-up art gallery set up
If you can help out with funding, you would be participating in the ever-so-growing Sydney music scene. The more quality entertainment, the better!

What originated Femme Locale?
I have so many musician friends performing around Sydney, however some found it hard to find gigs, others did competitions where the money goes straight to the promoters and none to the bands.
I noticed I had a lot of female musician friends, so I thought of creating a music platform especially for them, so that they were able to perform with like-minded artists. I also noticed that the same sort of friends were going to the same sort of gigs, so why not be able to share the same interests at a regular event!
What is your background, "Vanessa Dang"?
Having studied a Bachelor of Music, and a Diploma of Entertainment Business Management, I feel competent in starting this performance platform in the hope to make a decent contribution to the live music scene in Sydney. I have performed, I have organised cabaret and fundraising events in the past, and I have produced for film and theatre, so my organisational skills I believe will be up to scratch to keep this held together.
Is Femme Locale going to be a resident at The Basement?
My vision is that I will have at least an annual event where I will showcase 3 or 4 major acts, and they will be presented in larger venues such as The Basement. However, in between the annual events I will present smaller, intimate gigs with 1 or 2 acts. The smaller venue is yet to be decided, but I do have the idea to make it a roaming platform, so that the regular audiences will be entertained not only by different artists each time, but also at different venues each time!
Can I be part of a future Femme Locale performance?
If you write original music, and have (girl) boobs then feel free to contact me if you want to perform at future dates. I am always on a constant look out for new acts (I may have many friends, but I don't have that many), and am aware of the untapped talent that is out there.
My email is vanessavtdang(at)gmail(dot)com.
Are you showcasing just indie music?
Indie in the sense of independent, yes. Indie as in the genre of music - then no. I'm showcasing all types of music, from pop to jazz to folk and blues. If you are a heavy death metal female singer/songwriter - I'm also interested! It's about originality, stage presence and talent, not necessarily about what I want to impose on audiences because I like it. I hope to cater for all types of music lovers out there.
