MILD PANIC

A multi-channel publication documenting the cultural footprint of iconic Australian live music venues. It documents the people and places that fill our cities. The ephemeral energy that exists on and off stage and backstage in our most notorious band rooms. Mild Panic is a brief glimpse into the moment in time when nothing else exists but the music, fueled by that all too familiar feeling.

‘It’s that deep breath - in and out - that says “I’m ready and I’m ok with what’s about to happen”.’

- Paul Liddle

Edited by Paul Liddle and designed by long term collaborator Clay Ciolac. Mild Panic features an unprecedented curation of Australia's most influential Australian music photographers featuring work by Photographers Dani Hansen, Dougal Gorman, Four Minutes To Midnight, Grit Van, James Adams, Maclay Heriot, Mclean Stephenson, Pat, O'Hara, Pat Stevenson, Paul Liddle, Ruby Boland, Tim Adam, Tom Wilkinson

Launched with Semi-permanent (Australia's premiere Creative industries conference), Mild Panic emerged as a 100-page magazine-style coffee table book - it sold out during the event. A second run of the publication was made available online at Mild-Panic.com; it, too, didn't last long. Sold out in several days.
