Overview
It's a highly controversial topic, one that fuels pub debates and brunch arguments around the country. Where is Australia's music capital? Is it Sydney? Is it Brisbane? Or is it our very own music-lovin' backyard?
The music industry enthusiasts at the Society of Tastemakers & Elegant People (STEP) have run some excellent panel discussions for those in the music biz and those looking to break into it. Previous topics have covered areas such as ‘The Artist’, ‘The Critic’, and ‘The Managers’, but this time they’re focusing on all things live and local; discussing all the reasons why Melbourne IS Australia’s music capital.
Guest panelists for the evening include Nick O’Byrne (band manager and program director of BIGSOUND), Woody McDonald (3RRR legend and booker of Meredith and Golden Plains), Mikey Cahill (senior music writer at The Herald Sun), Simon Winkler (3RRR music director), and Lucy Buckeridge (publicist for EMI and band member of Lowtide). On top of the riveting discussion that is sure to ensue from this creative lot, there will also be a performance by local lovelies The Harpoons, and a DJ set from Broadway Sounds.
