Love local music? Think our local music scene is world-class but don’t want to take it for granted? Then it’s time to get behind your local representative organisation, Music Victoria; the independent voice of the Victorian contemporary music industry. It has led the way on the Live Music Roundtable over the last two years, which has resulted in the re-introduction of mixed-ages gigs; helped develop a Live Music Best Practice Guide for venues; and prompted a commitment from the State Government to legislate the Agent of Change principle to protect venues from gentrification and noise complaints.
Music Victoria needs your support to keep up the good work. Apart from being able to rest easy knowing that your industry body can continue to fight for your rights, membership of Music Victoria entitles you to a huge range of benefits including excess baggage allowances on Qantas and Virgin domestic flights; and discounts and special offers on everything from band merchandise to insurance; CD & vinyl manufacturing to fitted earplugs; and regular professional development workshops for musicians and music businesses.
Music Victoria continues to fight for the good of all music across the state. Whether it’s ensuring contemporary music has its voice heard, protecting our venues, advocacy, changing laws, negotiating huge industry savings for artists, or promoting our marvellous music scene to the world, Music Victoria is fighting for a stronger music community for us to work in and enjoy. Whether you’re a musician, venue owner or music lover, Music Victoria has your back – so join up now!
