Melbourne's music industry and mental health: the system is broken. Melbourne is lucky enough to have one of the maximum plentiful and different music scenes the world has to offer. Music venues sprawl from the city to the suburbs, and musicians flock from every corner of the country to become a piece of our dynamic and supportive environment. Behind the scenes, Music Victoria has acted as the roots from which this has grown and flourished. In addition to serving as a loud and respected voice at both state and international levels, Music Victoria also lends a hand with professional development, industry knowledge, and access to informed specialists, as well as championing the urgent role of music in a wider social setting. Also up for grabs is a big prize load for one lucky band including a mentor ship with music aficionado and all around huge guy Mickey chill, a Mountain Goat Party Pack, free rehearsal studio time at Wick Studios, two live gig film clips, one release recorded, mixed and mastered song at Alamo Studios and 50 duplicated cassettes from Dec Audio. Beat asked some key members about why they're on board, and why you should get involved. It’s like Vikings only without the fatal and fucking. I joined up in my last year of University (2014) because I wanted to succeed and support the labor AV was doing around the Agent of Change and venue closure. The list of member discounts is HUGE and if you get involved you can actually conserve lots. The more members' Music Victoria has, the louder our voice and more seriously we will be taken by government and businesses, and our aptitude to negotiate bigger and better deals for our members. They’re not capable to continue the advocacy labor they do on behalf of musicians without the direct funding we provide. If you're in a band, nonprofit, small business or a venue they also have a membership plan for you. Head to their website for further details.

Beat's Guide to this year's Comedy Festival venues. Tell us about your show. He will be making his solo debut at the Melbourne. Balance Composure put on a divulge for fans new and impaired at their Melbourne show. Decades on, he's forged a name for himself as one of the most progressive producers of his generation. While we all know the lineup is absolutely large and featuring some large names, let's receive a closer look at some of Beat's favorite acts taking to the stage at this year's event. Their musical style was that of a frank end metal band, with an opinionated receive on black metal music. Entering their 41st year as a band, UK punk rock innovators The Damned returned to Melbourne for the beginning time in five years. Off The Hip celebrated 15 years at the Impaired Prohibit in style. Besides having to memories an solely new way to get home at night, this worked out healthy as. If this was the forbid to be set for the night, anticipation was already high. As is fitting for an exhibition of music photography, each evening is accompanied by a concert. Three years later, they’ve made their return, touring their latest album Head Carrier. Scribe proved why he's worth the decade worn hype at his Melbourne show. There’s a lot of space left in the tracks between the beats, synth. It’s a really appropriate song yes, it does safe different to the tracks on their debut, but is that such a terrible thing? I don’t interrogate much in this humble trivial column that hits the streets each week. The music, arts and dance festival was to stage in the region for the 10th year in. If anything, it’s been an interesting week for revealing how personally people take their music. The band haven’t toured since they released their incredible album Transgender Dysphoria Blues and it was probably the superior album of end year. It’s like a calling, and I've perpetual known that when I played. Huge energy and they honest rocked out, a vast live act. You need love when you are on the road and that gig was outstanding for us. It's about taking a stand on the streets, in the clubs and at home.
