2014 edition of the melbourne music city guide
TRANSCRIPT

2 3
Melbourne is the live music capital of Australia and boasts one of the most dynamic music scenes in the world. It has been the breeding ground for hometown heroes including AC/DC, Nick Cave, Kylie Minogue, Men at Work, The Divinyls, Crowded House, Jet, Airbourne, Paul Kelly, Temper Trap and Cut Copy.
You can catch a gig just about anywhere in Melbourne – from laneways to rooftops, bowls clubs, concert halls and pubs. For many of these venues, live music is its primary business, showcasing diverse, original music across rock, pop, roots, jazz, electronic and experimental spectrums.
A recent report revealed that over 5.4 million people attended live music performances in 2009/2010 – that’s more action than the Australian Football League season. But how do all of these people find the best gigs at the best venues? That’s where Melbourne Music City comes in.
While the city is built around a 19th century central grid of main streets, they are intersected by a labyrinth of laneways which house many of the city’s best bars, shops and venues.
Music Victoria encourages you music enthusiasts to treat the guide like a treasure map and wander around this amazing city, pop into one of the many dedicated record stores, visit landmarks such as AC/DC Lane and check out the incredible local music and venues we have on offer.
Music Victoria, with support from the City of Melbourne, is proud to bring you the third edition of the Melbourne Music City guide.
You can also download the free Melbourne Music City app from iTunes or Google Play, which this year includes a gig guide and videos from music historian Bruce Milne explaining the significance of musical landmarks.
We are very proud of our music scene and now it's easier than ever to find its jewels. Enjoy!
PATRICK DONOVAN (CEO Music Victoria)

Whether you’ve camped out for a prime position at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl, stuck to the carpet at the Tote, Corner or Espy, or prefer the acoustic brilliance of Melbourne Recital Centre or Hamer Hall, there is nothing like experiencing live music – and where better to experience it than Australia’s live music capital, Melbourne.
With more live music venues than any other Australian city, Melbourne offers plenty of choice when it comes to gigs, festivals and industry events. Every week of the year offers up a spectrum of music to enjoy – from rock to metal, electronica to folk, Indigenous music to hip hop and everything in between.
Recent research into the live music sector has estimated that there are approximately 100,000 live music performances staged annually across the state – some 60,000 in Melbourne alone. This brings substantial social and cultural benefits as well as packing a powerful economic punch, creating jobs, boosting tourism and contributing an estimated $500 million to $1 billion to the Victorian economy each year.
This guide may be focused on Melbourne, but the live music scene is strong right across the State so be sure to also check out the comprehensive list of venues, music stores and music festivals around Victoria.
You’ll find it easier to find the music you love with Melbourne Music City as your guide.
THE HON DR DENIS NAPTHINE MP (Premier)
Melbourne has a richly deserved international reputation for the way we nurture and support our local music industry. On stages large and small, Melbourne musicians shape our city’s sounds.
Last year as part of Melbourne Music Week more than 20,000 people saw 200 artists at 90 events. Most of these were local artists, with
Victorians making up 75 per cent of artists performing at MMW.
With all this talent around, it makes sense to publish a guide to help people easily find the best gigs at the best venues.
Melbourne Music City is a welcome guide to Australia’s best live music scene.
