Maximum Anything is a new initiative aimed at presenting new and exciting music, art, ideas, anything. Artists are free to be who they want, as is the audience. It also aims to create a place for our community to share, experience and enjoy with each other.

Maximum Anything in collaboration with Brisbane-based independent label MADE NOW MUSIC present a Mini-Festival at the Merri-Bek Bandroom (aka Cross St) celebrating another year of creative music and new releases (happy 5th birthday to MNM!), with food, drink, community activities and most importantly performances from the Melbourne contingent of the MADE NOW MUSIC family.

The festival features Melbourne based MNM artists who have released music on the label in 2023, as well as friends of the label. As a special treat, MNM founder/director Brodie McAllister will be presenting his latest work for large ensemble “Wattle” with a cross-city lineup featuring artists from Brisbane and Melbourne.
