How we work

Music first. People always.

Relationships first

We work with bands, venues and crews for the long run. Straight talk, fair deals and showing up when we say we will. The people we work with today are the people we want to be working with in ten years.

A room everyone belongs in

A GRM night should feel welcoming from the door to the front row. First timers, die hards and the bands themselves, everyone should leave wanting to come back to the next one.

Talent over numbers

We back bands because they're good, not because of their follower count. If you've got the songs and the work ethic, we'll help you build the crowd.

About

Built on the Sunshine Coast.

Green Room Mgmt. started with a simple idea: make live music accessible again, and give talented local bands a real path from their first gig to a national tour.

Run by Ben Russoniello, GRM sits right inside the grassroots Australian live music scene. Everything we do is built on relationships. We get to know the bands we work with, the venues that host us and the crews behind the desk, and we look after them like the long term partners they are.

We pick bands for their talent and their attitude, not their numbers. A great band with a small following is exactly who we want to help, and we'll put them on bills that grow their crowd show by show.

And every GRM night is built to be welcoming. Free entry where we can, carefully curated line ups, and a room where punters, bands and staff all feel like part of the same scene.

Founder

Ben Russoniello

Ben started Green Room Mgmt. to give Sunshine Coast bands the kind of support he wished existed: someone in their corner who knows the venues, the crews and the road.

He books the shows, manages the roster and is usually the one at the side of stage making sure the night runs on time. If you email GRM, it's Ben who writes back.

Our promise at every show

Safe, welcoming, for everyone.

Respect, always

Harassment, abuse and discrimination have no place at a GRM show. Anyone who makes the room unsafe is asked to leave.

Someone to talk to

If something feels wrong, tell venue staff, security or the GRM crew on the night. You can also contact us privately after the show.

Bands looked after

Clear deals in writing, every band on the bill paid, and set times we stick to. Bands should feel as welcome as the crowd.

Draft: check this matches how you and the venues handle incidents before going live.

FAQ

Good questions

For punters, bands and venues. If your question isn't here, just ask.

Get in touch

Coming to a show

Are GRM shows free?

Our Saturday night shows at Black Flag Brewing Mooloolaba are free entry. Headline and touring shows, like those on the Coolum inside stage, are ticketed through Oztix. Each listing on the Shows page says which.

Are shows all ages?

Most GRM shows are at licensed venues and are 18+. All ages shows are clearly marked when they're announced.

How do I hear about shows first?

Join the mailing list at the bottom of any page, and follow @green_room_mgmt on Instagram. Shows are usually announced about six weeks out.

What if something goes wrong at a show?

Talk to venue staff, security or the GRM crew straight away. You can also contact us privately after the night and we'll follow it up.

For bands

How do I play a GRM show at Black Flag Mooloolaba?

Send us your music through the Play Black Flag Mooloolaba form on the Contact page. We listen to everything and book on the strength of the songs, the live show and how the band fits the night. We book indie, alt rock, punk and post hardcore, and Sunshine Coast bands get first look.

Do we need a big following?

No. We back bands for their talent, not their numbers. If you're good and you work hard, we'll help you build the crowd. Local Sunshine Coast bands get first look for our opening slots.

Do bands get paid?

Yes. Every band on a GRM bill is paid, and each band is paid separately, so the headliner never has to sort out the supports.

Can we choose our own supports?

GRM curates every line up so the night works as a whole. On touring shows, the opening slot always goes to a local band.

For venues

Can GRM run live music at my venue?

Yes. We build regular live music programs for venues, covering booking, curation, posters and promotion. Get in touch and tell us about your room.
