Hi friends - this may not be relevant to all but to burlesque lovers down under read on...
Please show your support for our local live music scene on Tuesday Feb 23rd by attending the S.L.A.M. Rally. The recent changes to licensing laws will have a negative impact on small live music venues, musicians and you and you have a chance to do something about it rather then sitting around a few months from now reminiscing about the "good old days".
S.L.A.M. is a non-politically aligned, independent entity made up of musicians and music lovers.
In a bid to address ugly street violence the State Govt. and Liquor Licensing have introduced some sweeping Licensing changes that have had some unintended consequences for the local music scene. We want the Govt. to be man enough to admit they made a mistake and to make the required simple changes (repeal that amplified music in small venues need double security) immediately!
--------------------------
On the 23rd of Feb, coinciding with the 34th anniversary of ACDC's famous 'It's A Long Way To The Top' film clip shoot down Swanston St, S.L.A.M (Save Live Australia's Music) is organising a protest in support and celebration of the music scene in Victoria where current liquor licensing laws threaten to pull the plug on live music.
We will meet at 4pm outside the State Library and make our way along Swanston St and up Bourke St to Parliament House in Spring St where we will have guest speakers from 6-7pm.
We have organised the RocKwiz Orchestra with guest performers to lead the rally, repeating the three chords from 'It's A Long Way to the Top' in the back of a flat bed truck as we follow - ALL 10,000 + OF US - holding placards and instruments chanting down these ridiculous laws!!
Lack of support for this precious industry has gone on for too long!
Celebrate the diversity of Victorian music - this will be a day to remember!
