Soundwave tickets and Fridge signed by Billy Corgan: Smashing Pumpkins, Sepultura. Signed Orange Amp: Kiss, Gun’s & Roses, Michael Starr – Steel Panther, Mastadon (2016)
Our managing director Leah Gallin attend each and every Soundwave. She wanted this fridge so much, that she bought all the tickets she could at the raffle for her friends band Desecrator’s Album Launch at Cherry bar, that Dave Higgo organised. Sadly she didn’t win it. She did manage to convince the winners wife to sell it to The SoundLab and so there it resides! This Orange Cab was also signed by many Soundwave artists over the years. Leah was the Artist Relations rep for Orange Amps for many years and organised loan amps for a multitude of Orange endorsee artists tours. Australian Musical Instruments had a lot of involvement with Orange for Soundwave and it’s side shows.
