On The Music Scene MEL MURRAY PSM Publicity
YOU CAN SAVE LIVE MUSIC IN NEWCASTLE If you love live music, this is a Call To Action! Sound Station Music and Art Festival will bring together some of the best bands that Newcastle has ever produced to save the live music scene that created their legacy. Never before has our local live music industry and live music venues been under threat the way they are right now. Ongoing residential development and antiquated interventions mean our live music venues are in real trouble. Unless we show that live music matters and is something we are willing to come out to support, we could lose it. This is your chance to be counted. Don't just love live music - become part of the reason it still exists for future generations. The way it did for you. The Newcastle Live Music Taskforce is the driving force behind this event. The task force was created to advocate for better legislation around live music to ensure venues can continue showcasing the bands and artists we love so much. Legislative changes like the creation of
'Entertainment Precincts' would prioritise businesses like live music venues in designated CBD areas. We need to show the powers that be that live music matters, and nothing speaks louder than a Newcastle crowd! What better way to make that happen than host a free all-ages event with mouthwatering food trucks, art exhibitions and a stellar line-up of Newcastle talent. The diverse line-up of artists at Sound Station Music & Arts Festival includes The Screaming Jets, Spy V Spy, Dv8, Eat Your Heart Out, The Porkers, The Blues Bombers, Grace Turner Band, Amy Vee, Turpentine Babycino, Kookshill, WELL?, House of Refuge, Phoenix Pritchard, Piper Butcher and the winner of Sound Search Band Comp winner. It's all happening at The Station on Sunday, 28 August. Head to www.stickytickets.com. au to register for your free tickets and be the reason we save live music in the City of Newcastle.
