MISSION:

“Our aim is to ensure touring and local musicians are 100% confident with the hire gear they rely on to perform with on any given day. From soundcheck to the final bow it’s critical to achieve a smooth experience for the production team, artists and audience – with no unnecessary distractions.  It’s always a delight to hear band members, crew and promoters comment that we consistently have the best quality backline gear in Australia. It’s just one of the many reasons the best-in-the-business keep coming back.”
