We are Hunted has come to the rescue for TGAW after Vic Arts pulled funding due to Popkomm being cancelled.
Online music chart Wearehunted.com has come to the rescue of the Great Australian Wave after the recent withdrawal of Arts Victoria funding. Arts Victoria pulled its $10,000 commitment to the touring showcase of 12 Australian bands after the cancellation of annual Berlin music conference, Popkomm. While Popkomm was to be an important part of the European tour the bands had independently secured other dates and venues so the overwhelming attitude was the show must go on. When Aussie music startup We Are Hunted heard that the government was withdrawing the funding granted in writing by the Minster for the Arts Lynne Kosky, it decided to step in and offer financial support. Funding from We Are Hunted will assist Great Australian Wave organisers with venue hire, marketing, publicity, flights and equipment hire and more importantly will help to connect Australian artists with new audiences
