To Local musicians

Hey Melbourne musicians!

I live with a few local musicians and have seen firsthand how booking agents take up to 40% of their gig revenue ($150-200 from a $500 gig). It's pretty rough seeing talented artists lose such a big chunk of their earnings.

I'm exploring building a platform that would:

  • Let musicians and venues connect directly
  • Include verified profiles with reviews, previous work samples, and photos
  • Take a much smaller fee (think 2-5% instead of 30-40%)
  • Give venues more direct access to local talent
  • Let both musicians and venues initiate bookings

The goal is simple: musicians keep more of what they earn, and venues potentially pay less while still getting great talent.

Before I start building anything, I'd love to hear from:

  • Musicians: Would you use something like this? What features would you want?
  • Venues: Any venue managers here? Would direct booking interest you?
  • Anyone involved in the local music scene: What challenges do you see with this idea?

If there's enough interest, I'll start working on making this happen. Drop a comment or DM me if you'd like to be kept in the loop!

how do you join a band nowadays?

for quite some time now (aka as long as ive been playing) ive wanted to join a band, but how exactly would i do that nowadays? ive heard the usual 'posters in local music shops' but noone really does that. there was melband (rip) and bandmix kinda sucks and its paid. one of my biggest problems is that im 16 (17 pretty soon though) and younger bands are even harder to find. ive tried facebook, nothing. i cant ask anyone at school since all the music students and band kids hate disabled people (such as myself). i want a reason to go out and play and maybe perform at some point, especially since ive had most my musical outlets taken away at this point.

Eye For Inventory - Eureka Bowling Saloon (Live)

It's this, or go play a gig and effectively karaoke over my pre-recorded tracks at home. This, I think, is better because it's each part recorded live as a single take*, to replicate how it would present at a gig if I could clone myself. It's super fun to make. Time-permitting, I'll bang some more out soon.

*Well, all but the drums, for now. I'm no drummer... (yet). I effectively need to cram some drumming sessions to get a decent take with nice fills like the one that's playing here. Putting this up as a work in progress because it'll probably take weeks to find the time to get enough drumming practice on this track. Stay tuned, I'd love to be able to complete with a live drumming recording.

My niece is passionate about playing velour cello and I have no idea about opportunities. Can anyone guide?

My niece is coming to Melbourne for Christmas holidays. She loves singing, dancing and even more passionate about playing her cello. My sister was asking me if there would be any opportunities for her to play cello in any event to gain international experience. I have no clue about all this. So, community, can you please give pointers

Thanks!!

Great Deep House DJ (CRi) @ Brown Alley 15th Nov

This is just a PSA to let you know that CRi and other Anjunadeep supporting artists are playing at Brown Alley in a few hours. I highly recommended his stuff when I found him at Above & Beyond Weekender two years ago.

(I am not affiliated/sponsored just a punter who reckons he plays some pretty tasty beats.)

Tickets on Tixel are pretty cheap when posted. https://tixel.com/au/music-tickets/2024/11/15/cri-brown-alley-melbourne

Here is a link to some of his sets on SoundCloud:

Here is a link to his Spotify:
