The Mushroom Group is one of the world’s most iconic music and entertainment collectives. Founded in 1972 by a young Michael Gudinski, the Group began life with the formation of Mushroom Records and Mushroom Music Publishing. Five decades later, Mushroom is now spearheaded by Michael’s son Matt and incorporates international and domestic touring, booking agencies, artist and talent management, record labels, music publishing, merchandising, event curation and production, creative and marketing services, venues, film production and distribution and more – there is almost no end to what the Mushroom Group is involved in and can offer. One unique characteristic of Mushroom and a fundamental part of our ongoing success is our operating ethos and focus on the individuality and independence of each company. This grants each company and its people total freedom of operation whilst still benefiting from the collective strength of the Mushroom Group. The Mushroom Group is a family-orientated company, and that family includes our artists, staff and partners. Mushroom is home to more than 300 of the world’s most experienced, creative and passionate people; working closely with thousands of artists and organisations worldwide – year in, year out.

5 Questions with Matt Taranto LOVE POLICE ATM #AccessAllAreas If you have a favourite band tee, it’s likely thanks to Love Police ATM - the largest artist merchandise company in Australia & New Zealand. The Love Police ATM team design and sell merch at over 700 shows per year, covering everything from your local gig and even sell-out stadium shows ... including Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift’s record-breaking tours. We sat down with Tour Manager Matt Taranto to learn more. Q: Thanks for the chat! First up, what made you want to work at Love Police ATM? A: It all stems from my love of music and being able to work with bands of all sizes, be it international or local artists. I was never musical, so I knew I would never be on stage. I did know that merchandise was a great option; fortunately, I got a shot early on. I started by counting t-shirts, doing whatever I could really. I thoroughly enjoyed it and moved up from there. There’s a lot that can be done at Love Police ATM, from working in the warehouse to packing orders, managing national tours and getting out to the shows. Q: Do you have a favourite tour that you’ve worked on? A: I’d say one of the biggest ones I ever did was Adele in 2017. it was my first go at a stadium show. You’re booking your trucks; we have tents everywhere and touring reps who work with you on a tour of that size. It was a great experience. One of my favourite events was Knotfest last year. Working directly at the event with the band was a fantastic experience. Working at Love Police ATM allows you to get up close to the action, which is cool. You know, there’s something special about band merch – we all have our favourite piece. Q: Absolutely, and we have the responsibility to give them something cool. A: There’s a fine line between artist merchandise and fashion. Some of the more established artists these days try to go down a fashion path, but it’s the classic black t-shirt with a band logo and tour dates, that’s what most people want. Q: Have you seen artist merchandise trends change over time? A: For sure, there used to just be two t-shirts and a stubby holder, or something like that - that would be the full range. Now there are printed jackets, jerseys, track pants, socks and more. We see demand for a lot of new pieces. There’s a market for more bespoke items. It’s a great time to be a fan. Q: You’ve worked at Love Police ATM for well over ten years, what makes it so special? A: The community here is great, all the staff get on really well. We’re lucky that we’re a tight-knit group of people, we always try to lift each other up. We bounce ideas off each other, it’s a great creative way to work. The more you learn, the more scope you can get regarding responsibilities – there’s no real ceiling to a lot of it. If you enjoy one part of the business, you can branch out.
