Courtney Barnett has launched an online archive of her touring and live performance history. The new website was conceived initially as a way to allow fans to experience her live performance during the pandemic while they were unable to actually attend a show.

“Taking inspiration from the legendary online archives of Neil Young and The Grateful Dead, and more personally from the extensive excel tour spreadsheets of Barnett’s mum, the website now gathers together 14 years of touring history, never-before-heard desk-mixes, live television performances and a rich trove of specially commissioned show-posters,” read a press release.

Along with the launching of the site, Barnett has shared a full-show video of her January 2020 show at the Corner Hotel, her only full band live show of 2020. The footage opens with a statement on its context: “At the beginning of 2020 Australia was in the midst of its largest ever bushfire crisis – we felt afraid, overwhelmed and angry.” Watch the full show below!
