About Me
QStik is an independent record label / music management / publicity / design company based in Perth, Western Australia.
QStik started in 1998 as a reaction to the lack of labels, promotion and distribution opportunites open to Western Australian bands and solo acts at the time.
Over the years that followed, QStik has provided management advice, promotional assistance, CD pressing and/or distribution opportunities to many talented West Coast artists such as The B-Movie Heroes, Lo-Key Fu, Rollerskates, Moriarty, Dyslexic Fish, Fourth Floor Collapse, Desert Child, Kenny Bartley, Honey, Lowdown, Jed Whitey, Lara Stephen and The Dave Mann Collective.
Today, QStik Records has grown into one of the largest independent music labels in Perth, boasting a wondeful lineup of some of Perth's finest acts including:
- FAITH IN PLASTICS
- THE FAULT
- JEFF STRONG
- NEW RULES FOR BOATS
- THE PANDA BAND (through BAM*BOO Records)
- ROLLERSKATES
- SUPERENGINE
As well as operating as a record label, QStik has grown to encompass other areas of music and media, including:
- BAND MANAGEMENT (The Panda Band + New Rules For Boats)
- MUSIC / TOUR PUBLICITY
- GRAPHIC / MULTIMEDIA DESIGN
- BAND MERCHANDISE
QStik remains passionate and committed to raising the profile of Western Australian music, not only in Australia, but all around the world. To do this, QStik has spread its wings and ventured out of Perth to some of the most prominent music festivals around the world, including Austin's SXSW (USA), Germany's Popkomm and Manchester's In The City (UK).
