Rip It Up Publishing

I used to be super jealous of all the peeps who worked at Rip it Up because their office on Little Rundle was so wacky and bohemian. I went for a few interviews there many years ago but despite my best efforts they saw straight through my act: sure I liked music, but I can never remember band names and my cool trivia knowledge is nil. Now they live on Franklin Street and I’m itching to see if these offices are as good as the old creaky loft ones. AS already noted RIU has the best gig guide going: it’s their niche and no one else can touch it.
They have less reviews and more advertising than other street music press but who can blame them they need the ads to keep afloat! RIU is dependable and always there for you waiting patiently on store floors and University cafeterias, blushingly eager to tell you everything that’s on this week in Radelaide. Don’t ever change.

Two words: gig guide!
Adelaide’s most comprehensive guide to what’s on for the following week can be found in this free street newspaper. You can pick up a copy pretty much everywhere in Adelaide, and it’s a super handy little snapshot of what’s going on. Food, drink, a little smattering of fashion, music, arts.
As it’s produced on a weekly basis content is more aimed more at big picture coverage rather than more super readable articles etc — though it does have good interviews every now and then. Personally I don’t really grab it for a read — some street press publications take advantage of its status outside of the normal publishing rules to produce some really opinionated and experimental content — RiU isn’t one of those publications.
That said, it doesn’t need to be. It’s firmly entrenched as your #1 go-​to for what’s on in Adelaide.
