Over 30 years he's overseen the growth of scenestr magazine to become Australia's largest – and only national – street press while forging a digital-first imperative for the title in the mid-naughties. He's judged more battle of the bands than he cares to remember and proud of the myriad media partnerships the company has earned across the music, arts and comedy sectors. He likes Star Trek and a good Oxford Comma – way too much fun at parties.

Brisbane’s The Met nightclub is for sale.

The Met opened in November 2006 and has hosted electronic dance music acts including Propellerheads, Skrillex, Hardwell and Steve Aoki.

Skrillex: Played The Met in March, 2012. Biggest. Night. Ever.

Owner Trent Meade said, “It is the right time to exit with the business extremely profitable, and still offering enormous upside for the next operator.” Mr Meade and Matt Blythe also own The GPO Hotel in Fortitude Valley, and are selling to move into the food-and-beverage market, with a new CBD venue opening next year.

It is believed the venue last changed hands for upwards of $3,000,000. Expressions of interest for the close 22 November, unless sold prior.

Propellerheads opened The Met in 2006. We don't think Shirley Bassey was with them.
