Save live music!

One of the world’s most iconic and captivating private recording studios is in danger of extinction. For a generation the ‘wave house studio’ in remote Western Australia has been a home, oasis, recording studio and stage to some of the best local and international artists from all around the world. Huge acts like ​Tame Impala, Beastie Boys, The Waifs, Fatboy Slim, Fat Freddys Drop​ to name a few all have enjoyed this space and some have shared it with the world, but now that history is at risk of being lost forever.

In recent years the house has primarily made it’s income from airbnb rentals. Bucks parties, weddings, private functions would rent the stunning 50 acre property with its unrivalled panoramic view of Injidup Bay to enjoy some world class sunsets. The property is also home to an amazing cave formation with a natural amphitheatre that can potentially seat hundreds of punters for private events.

The area is home to the Wardan cultural centre and is a culturally significant place and enough reason in itself to be saved. We have elders and families visit from the Wardan Centre, they come to the house and spend time telling us stories passed down from their ancestors. It’s an important place for them too as they regularly play music here and share the area with us. We’re afraid that might be stopped if the property does get sold. I would like to see future generations of theirs come here to share this space.

“We have endured to return the house to its former glory, hoping to restore its music vibe and culture and use it as an entertainment hub for all to enjoy!” S​aid Glen, one of the co-founders.

“Wave House Studio Sessions was the brainchild of a pandemic. With entertainment worldwide taking a huge hit during the crisis, we opened our doors to musicians and gave them a platform to share their music with the world. Our goal was simple: To breathe life back into music.” Bradley remarked, another one of Wave House Studio Sessions co-founders.

Considering it all began with only simple photography equipment, a macbook, a basic understanding of broadcasting and with a few connections in music we set about the task to create a unique, diverse music hub. It’s a venue where we could cater for all types of genres and support the artists going through a tough time. But in order to proceed, to grow, and to maintain the running costs of a remote music studio, we ask for people to get behind Wave House Studio Sessions. Saving live music , supporting artists and being able to have this amazing music studio to share with the world is extremely important to us. It’s immeasurably valuable to Australian music culture and would be devastating to no longer be able share that.

Wave House has an indescribable energy, it is enriched with natural beauty all around it, and has the undeniable power to create amazing music simply by residing here. Kevin Parker (Tame Impala) found the property so inspiring he spent time here in 2004 writing songs and recording for his album ‘currents’. Even in the last few weeks whilst live streaming, bands such as Ivy Dream and Paige Valentine have written and recorded new music at the property.

We have invested all our time and energy to create this, and give everything we can back to an industry we feel so passionately about, but now we need help or risk closing our doors in only a few weeks time. The house is for sale, and unless the platform grows, becomes nationally recognised and a profitable business structure is founded then it is in danger of being lost forever.
