As the music director of triple j Unearthed Dave Ruby Howe is front and centre as emerging Australian artists begin their careers in the music industry. At Unearthed since 2011, he’s had his headphones on to hear the first tracks from artists like The Rubens, Amy Shark, Methyl Ethel, Tash Sultana and more.
As well as being part of the Unearthed team that finds pathways for local artists to triple j and festivals, Dave’s responsible for leading the music curation of the Unearthed site and the dedicated digital radio station that plays all unsigned and independent Australian music 24/7.
Sammie Anschau has been involved in the successful delivery of top tier Australian music events, as well as the nurturing and development of the careers of many Australian artists through her work as publicist and event/tour co-ordinator.
Since late 2015, Sammie has led sought after independent public relations company, Beehive PR. With offices in Sydney and Melbourne, Sammie has brought her love of music into the professional spotlight, working with a wide range of artists from a diverse selection of musical backgrounds. Clients have included The Getaway Plan, IV League, Birdz, AViVA, Rackett, Psychedelic Porn Crumpets, Bad Pony, Jeremy Loops, Superheist and Madness; Beehive’s motto has reflected Sammie’s personal one when it comes to music, focusing on good music instead of a specific genre, and letting that interest and passion thrive.
