After playing with the likes of Ladyhawke, The Galvatrons and fellow One Movement For Music showcase festival act Art Vs Science, Adelaide indie rock act The Touch are more than comfortable on stage.

What do you hope to gain from the One Movement festival and conference?
We hope to gain feedback on how we are able to take music to the next level. We want to go to One Movement and have labels, booking agents and promoters take notice and help with guidence on how we can take this further. We think this is an amazing opportunity that we hope to learn alot from and help us progress.
Which artists’ showcase sets are you most looking forward to watching?
Snob Scrilla, Wolf & Cub, Little Red, Miami Horror, Dappled Cities, Philadelphia Grand Jury, Art vs Science. We have had the pleasure of supporting most of these acts and they kill it live!
One Movement’s tagline is “Artist, Industry, Fan United.” What do you think needs to change in order to unite the music industry with its artists and fans?
Everyone needs to get behind and support each other. The industry needs to keep helping upcoming artists with knowlege and support, and the fans need to keep following the artists. With festivals like One Movement, you get fans, industry and artists all in the same place for the same reason: music.
The Touch plan to release their new EP - featuring first-time producer Darren Cross (Gerling/ The E.L.F.) - in January 2010. A national tour will follow, as well as a mini-festival in Adelaide called The Touch Party. But before all of that, catch The Touch at One Movement showcase music festival, October 17-18 2009.
