Senior Theatre Editor
Dan is a music tragic, coffee addict, lover of words, confessed thespian, TV show binge watcher and procrastinator. In his spare time, he can probably be found in a cafe somewhere in Perth muttering to himself about music or the current state of Australian politics. That, or Lord of the Fries.

Sarah Marshman
Senior Lifestyle Editor
During the week Sarah is a terrace trotting, officer of the court who pays a small fortune for F45 and yoga memberships.

Sam Needs
Editor
Sam is supposed to say he’s some sort of writer and editor, but really he just wants to talk about comic books, podcasts, poetry, Dungeons and Dragons and maybe getting more into upcycling and going to live in the woods one day. That’d be really good.

Writer
By day she is a Health and Safety enforcer, but by night she is asleep. You'll likely win Laila over if you bring up comic books, board games, rock climbing, or Rupaul’s Drag Race. She's terrified of teenagers, celery, and writing her own bio.

Stoney Webb Editor According to Stoney, life is like a really long, detailed, interactive film. Powered by a creative outlook on the things she does, Stoney enjoys sharing and pursuing her ideas to make the viewing experience that little bit more interesting. If you can’t catch her at a local gig, she’s probably at her university café drawing up hilarious (but tasteful) puns on the chalkboard that literally no one gave her permission to do.

Joshua Peach
Editor
Howie took the above photograph. The man in it is Joshua Peach. He writes and edits here. If you need to get hold of him, this is your best bet. The beer was a pale ale – in case you were wondering. The photo is pretty good. The beer was alright.

Brendan Cecich
Photographer
Brendan began his photography career when he was in Year 8, taking photographs at events for less than minimum wage (or even for free). Fast forward 5 years and he’s photographed and worked with some of the biggest names in music. Regardless of Brendan’s height (6 ft 3), he’s always at the front of the pit capturing unreal shots, and often to blame for being a cameo in other photographers’ shots.

Matthew Reilly
Photographer
A photographer that takes way too many pics, that he sure knows his NBN can’t handle to keep safely in the cloud.

An ENFP through and through, Vicky wants to do anything and everything and is probably down to join you for that aerial yoga class you’ve been eyeing.
