welcome to our launch party!
the music box project presents upstairs @ THE GLEBE 2022
Dear listeners,
We’re super excited to launch our 2022 Upstairs @ The Glebe series!
To celebrate, we’re releasing a living room recording of SOUND PARTY that we recorded in December 2021. The video consists of works-in-motion by the group that we would’ve performed live @ The Glebe if it were not for the 🦠 surge in Sydney. Whilst you’re listening, we would love for you to explore a taste of our upcoming gigs and say “hi!” in the comments section! 👋
Throughout 2022, make your way up the stairs at The Glebe Hotel and join the music box project and friends for an afternoon of music outside the usual order of things. Sit back in a green (or red) velvet lounge, listen to curious, ear-exciting, living music made now and feel the warmth of live sound you’ve missed experiencing with others. 🥰
We are so grateful to be sharing music with you again at The Glebe Hotel with thanks to the ongoing support of Zel and the team.
Grab your best pair of ears, a cup of Earl Grey tea or another brew of your choice and sit somewhere comfy and cosy for a little SOUND PARTY at home.
We hope to see you on March 26 @ The Glebe Hotel!

what’s this curious red button in the corner? it’s a place to chat whilst you watch! there’s no sign up required, though you can make an account if you’d like. please note if you are viewing on mobile that the chat will open a seperate window.
We had such a joyful time creating and rehearsing music for SOUND PARTY and so here’s a taste of it! We are sad to not have shared a stage with Lucy Vallely and Danica Hobden…and we’ll have to leave our arrangement of Arvo Part’s Spiegel Im Spiegel and some fun Naomi had planned for us all for a future performance.
This set is special as it consists of music composed by us!

All ticket sales from Upstairs @ The Glebe goes to artists. Your support enables us to make more music! In order to have some certainty in these times and to help bring some curious new music to our friends outside sydney, we will be hosting an online watch party space called Upstairs offsite. Your ticket includes music, a zine and access to upstairs offsite. If you just want access to the online space, there is an online only ticket option. If the live show can’t go ahead, your live ticket will still give you access to upstairs offsite. We really appreciate your support in these strange times.
