Pinko Collective is a community organisation that aims to help build a strong community and support postive mental health. It does this by connecting people through music.

The goal is simple. Join us to watch or participate in one of our six weekly gatherings where local musicians, both accomplished and amateur, get up to showcase a small set of songs infront of a supportive audience.

It was born our of the Westgarth Idol - a fundraising event for Westgarth Primary - over 15 years ago and is made up of people who are both directly and indirectly linked to local school communities.

Got a song you've always wanted to sing?

As it's a collective, we have a bunch of willing collaborators for any song you may have in mind, so please contact us if you have something in mind you'd like to do?

We're not an open-mic, or a karaoke session, but if you have a direct or indirect link to members of the Collective, you can contact us to play! We particularly encourage women to put their hands up!

Our aim is to build social connection across the community using music as a means to gather together regularly.

Manix & Able8 are on the brink of unleashing 'Straitjackets For The Uninspired’, a six-track EP that was gradually conspired between years of projects together, pieced together like a complex jigsaw puzzle.

Within this release, Manix skilfully intertwines lyrics that are infused with undertones of self-deprecation and sarcasm, painting a narrative that explores the shadowy realms of mental health struggles and addiction. Each verse flows seamlessly to accompany the tones set by Producer Able8, who's compositions bring haunting soundscapes of thickly stacked synths and thumping drums, over saturated analogue bass lines.

'Straitjackets For The Uninspired' also showcases the lush voice of Selki on ‘Losing Sleep, alongside co-productions from Phillip Drummond and U-Wish. Plus be sure to look out for the imminent drop of the groups first video single 'Bad Karma', featuring razor sharp flows from Joe Snow.

Join us on April 13th at Bar 303, where we have organised a stacked line-up of local talent to help celebrate the launch of this project.
