Red Rattler rocks on
The Red Rattler, Marrickvilleās eclectic performance space, has been nominated for Best Collective as part of the 2009 FBi/Time Out Sydney Music Arts and Culture Awards.
Founded by a group of queer-identifying women as a reaction to authorities shutting down illegal warehouse parties, the Rattler hosts a number of GLBT events during the year, with a distinctly underground flavour.
The Rattler collective is urging fans to go online and vote for them as a āthank youā for the work of the many volunteers, artists and organisers who have given up their time to make the venue a success.
The Rattler is also hosting its first New Yearās Eve party this year, with a line-up described as āheaving with electro feminists and politically charged performanceā, with Le Tigreās JD Samson adding international star power.

LGBTQIA+ media is under threat. Queer content is censored by tech conglomerates who amplify bigotry and push out AI slop ā so we receive less financial support than ever.
When our community is muzzled and intolerance intensifies, we need queer media more than ever. Your donation means we can continue paying queer journalists to write queer news.
