tRIBUS IS A JOINT VENTURE BY MEL FITZPATRICK (FOUNDER & PROMOTER EXTRA DIRTY) AND PAUL MCDONALD (PHOTOGRAPHER | ART DIRECTOR) @ WORKING DOG PROJECTS.

TRIBUS IS A CREATIVE MELTING POT OF MUSIC, ART AND COMMUNITY (that’s YOU OF COURSE) WE LOVE SEEING YOU ON OUR DANCE FLOOR AND EVENTS.

Mel & I met in seminal Sydney club Phoenix (don’t ask when). In this dark and dirty underground space, Mel was belting out tunes and I was dancing around and annoying her behind the decks with shots!

Over the years we have collaborated creating artworks and promotional visuals for Extra Dirty. After years of bloody talking about it we decided to start TRIBUS a intimate event to work alongside regular ED events.

Working in smaller venues, with little areas for you to explore, chat and mingle, TRIBUS will see a return to more intimate spaces. Still with a Feisty focus on good music and combining with Paul's eye for strong visuals, TRIBUS will be an immersive experience of art and music! Our music policy is chunky dirty house (Just like the small room at ED) and we will commission artists to create our visuals and performances for each event.

We’re always on the hunt for artists, performers and DJs to commission and feature at TRIBUS events, so if you’re interested in collaborating at a future Tribus event, hit Paul up at paul@workingdogprojects.art

We can’t wait to introduce you to TRIBUS on January 27th at Club Kinselas. Tickets are available here.
