WHAT'S WHAT?
Westside Music is an independent company dedicated to championing the indie music community, its businesses, and artists from Gothenburg and the region of Västra Götaland. Set up as a platform we try to represent our 55 partners active here, where we live. We believe in our vibrant local music scene and through live shows, media projects, and release support, we aim to bring the sounds of our community beyond borders. We also host the international club festival and indie music conference, Viva Sounds, which wraps up the year with a great party full of shows, conversations and get togethers. It's pretty cool. All hands on deck.
HOW DOES THAT WORK?
LIVE
We started as live company. It's at the very center of what we do and what we believe in. Since this way of presenting music in the 'here and now' can't be replaced, we're not changing our focus anytime soon. Besides, there’s something humbling about crashing on floors after an under-attended show far away from home.
MEDIA
We highlight the indie scene by running numerous media themes. Our aim is to create fresh, innovative ways of presenting music, producing as much as possible to make the most of every opportunity. We want to take you on a guided tour of what indie music is - and what it can become.
RELEASE
We’re committed to supporting releases that boost the export of music from our local scene. Our involvement varies with each project, from producing content and shooting videos to connecting labels with the right PR partners and funding campaigns for international markets.
SERVICES
We’re here to assist in any way we can; photography, music videos, website production, video sessions, and writing bios or press releases. While we pride ourselves on being one of the most affordable options around, we never compromise on quality. If you need help in these areas, don’t hesitate to reach out.
VIVA SOUNDS
Our international club festival takes place over three days at the end of November in Gothenburg. We curate a live music program that blow minds across multiple venues, all within walking distance. Alongside the performances, we host conversations on topics that matter to us - hopefully, they matter to you as well.
NETWORKS AND PARTNERSHIPS
Since the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, we’re involved in networks that make sense. From the Music Cities Network (with Göteborg & Co + GotEvent) to Excite Music and Federation of Music Conferences and we collaborate with a wide range of partners and friends throughout the year, all areas. And though we've grown and evolved, we remain proudly owned by Kultur Ungdom, where it all started.
