GREATER GOOD
ANNOUNCE RECIPIENT LAZY GHOST
AS $25K PACKAGE WINNER
Today, Good Intent are proud to announce Cavanbah/Byron Bay-based act, LAZY GHOST, as the third recipient of their independent artist initiative ‘Greater Good‘. The package aims to bring through the next generation of exceptional musical talents, developing their industry by providing in-kind services and a cash grant totalling over $25,000 AUD.
The 2023 package was in collaboration with parters Studios 301, Zenith Records, Billy Zammit, Make Merchandise, PLAKKIT, Media Arts Lawyers, White Sky and Ben Mitchell. The pack also boasts a $4,000 AUD cash grant to further develop their career.
“It was another super-competitive year, the team and I trawled through hundreds of applications, and we’re thrilled to award LAZY GHOST as this years recipient. The guys had a vision for every aspect of the initiative and we can’t wait to see how 2024 and beyond unfolds for them! We’ve seen acts utilise ‘Greater Good’ in the past two years, and there’s nothing more we love than seeing emerging artists thrive,” says Chief Operating Officer Rick Bridgman.
Ahead of their upcoming release, ‘EAT YOU ALIVE‘, on March 13, LAZY GHOSTnotes how the Greater Good pack will assist in their upcoming strategy:
“We’ve never won anything in our career as a band. The first, last and only time we tried to win, was a battle of the bands type competition, we got beaten by a reggae band that covered ‘Wasn’t Me – Shaggy’ in Canada – it was so good, I even voted for them. We’re very grateful to be chosen for the Greater Good initiative, it’s nice to have some big players in the industry backing an independent band and their above average songs and ridiculous plans. I think the next 6-12 months are going to be huge and we’re stoked to see where this all leads us.”
Good Intent offers a range of services across radio plugging, playlist pitching, worldwide blogs, digital marketing, label services, tastemaker club and radio promo, artist management, venue bookings and run a photography/videography studio Good Loco out of their Bulanaming/Marrickville-based office.
Current clients include Anjunadeep, BMG, Bootl
‘EAT YOU ALIVE’ will be available worldwide on Wednesday, March 13
