Brisbane-based indie artist
Jaguar Jonze has truly trailblazed the Australian music industry over the course of the last year. On top of writing moody alt-rock songs that harken to the golden era of brooding 90s indie, she’s also a visual artist and photographer too – in short, she’s an immense overachiever and the definition of a slashie.
Considering live events were few and far between last year, we teamed up with Jack Daniel’s to produce unforgettable behind the scenes moments with the ‘Make It Count series. Jack Daniel’s are passionate about supporting live music and have a long-standing history with the music scene – there’s really no better partner to collab with in bringing together the best in Aus music talent with incredible locations to perform their tracks in ways we’ve never seen before, making their moment count.
In September, SXSW organisers announced the festival would be moving online in 2021 following its cancellation in 2020 due to the ongoing pandemic. Electric Fields, Baker Boy and Alex The Astronaut were among the Aussie artists locked in to perform at the 2020 festival.
