Every Picture and Other M.U.D. Events
The all night festivals show-cased Melbourne's best live electronic musicians, DJs, computer animation, performance artists and visual art, and also introduced a plethora of international acts to the city. The parties were held at the Global Village warehouse complex in Footscray, Melbourne, TVU Warehouse Footscray, West Gates Sports Complex Altona, Epicentre Byron Bay, and the Bertie St Warehouse Port Melbourne, with a collective of other artists (such as the Mutoid Waste Company) and DJs who together formed a hub of creative expression centred around the underground techno movement.
M.U.D. also put on other events such as the Pleazure and Strange parties, all of them events as famous for their unique décor, installation art, video graphics and vibe as they were for the music performed by dozens of Australian and international live acts and DJs.
What was then thought to be the final Every Picture party (#21) was held in 2000 at Festival Hall, Melbourne.
Internationals headlining the parties included Luke Slater, Claude Young, Derrick May, Stacey Pullen, Ultra Sonic.
But it was the visual aesthetic for which Every Picture Tells A Story events, that made such a cultural impact in Melbourne.
In 2010, a new installment of Every Picture Tells A Story began. After the devastating bushfires in Victoria in 2009, community spirit needed to lifted and a space was offered to M.U.D. to stage a special 3-day gathering in the Yarra Valley. The event was to take place from 16-18 April 2010, but was canceled due to council restrictions. A warehouse day/night event took place instead on 17 April 2010 at the Melbourne docklands shed 4.
