Wrangler’s story begins in December of 2012 when it was a blank, four-walled warehouse space hidden within the industrial scape of West Footscray. Six years on, Wrangler Studios has grown into one of the most prolific all-ages live music venues and creative spaces in Victoria. Over 400 live shows ranging from metal to folk have been held inside our walls, with over 100 sold out by international an
d local bands. Wrangler Studios offers a safe, inclusive, and diverse environment for musicians, visual artists, photographers, and production professionals in Victoria’s creative sphere. Our core belief is that every individual should have their freedom of expression, and through Wrangler we are committed to providing these avenues to young creatives from whatever walk of life. We especially encourage young members of the creative world to reach out to our team if they are seeking work experience or guidance in possible pathways to realising their creative goals. Completely volunteer-run with a DIY ethos, our team of legends consists of sound wizards, a master chef, marketing and media strategists, professionally recognised photographers and videographers, and production masters and students alike. The space has hosted art exhibitions as well as ongoing technical workshops for students in conjunction with SAE. Bands that have graced the Wrang stage include: Waterparks (USA), Chelsea Grin (UK), Emarosa (USA), Dance Gavin Dance (USA), Neck Deep (UK), Basement (UK), Jeff Rosenstock (USA) and home-grown talent like Trophy Eyes, Skegss, With Confidence, Northeast Party House, Tkay Maidza, and Lime Cordiale. Moving forward into 2019, we have turned up to 11 with our offerings to aspiring/working musicians in Victoria. Live shows including private parties, functions, and recitals, professional studio recording, as well as a 24-hour rehearsal space (+ backline hire options) will all be available at Wrangler Studios. We will also be going hard with our digital content, offering bands the opportunity to record live sessions filmed in-house for their own promotional and social media platforms.
