Iconic Australian Music Venues Closing Down As Costs Surge

- Iconic music venues The Bendigo Hotel and The Old Bar are closing their doors after nurturing Australia's up-and-coming artists for nearly two decades due to surging costs.
So, how do we save Australia's live music industry?

Big venues effectively 'funding' small venues will see those large corporations such as Live Nation, TEG etc who have large involvement in the large stadium-type arenas, start to exert more control over the smaller venues if it isn't done properly. We need a thriving independent venue scene to encourage up-and-coming artists also. Let's not sell out completely.
Like in America how Live Nation & co started taking a giant bite out of artist merch sales.
I can see Live Nation etc buying up a number of smaller venues as a propaganda move to 'save live music'. Sure it wouldn't be directly profitable for them, but the PR boost would be useful in other ways.
I walked down smith and Brunswick st last night and was shocked by the amount of bars and restaurants that have closed recently, even liquor taxes are need to be looked at as I don’t know how many ppl can afford paying $17 for a pint these days.
Insurers only making $16,000,000,000 profit this year as opposed to $18,000,000.000 per year.
That’s really tough times for the insurers.
Better use it as an excuse to charge more.
outlaw private insurence. nationalise it

Amen
@@kraiggrady Yep, put it in the hands of a million bureaucrats so it can cost us all $25B. Brilliant
@@daleviker5884 everytime anything goes into the private sector the price goes up in reality. one failure after another world wide.
@@kraiggradyWhat was the GIO? Governments always outsource their roles and responsibilities to private enterprise. They love privatisation.
Sign a waiver at the door 🚪
Need to have sensible public liability insurance such as a disclaimer for people doing self harm, like they have at motor racing events. Insurance companies have become so expensive anyway they look for any excuse not to pay, remember read the fine print.
Insurance law reform for Live Music Venues.
Insurance law reform full stop.
Bit late for that now unfortunately
Add to that: bands are getting paid the same as they were in the year 2000. Decades of everything going up and yet bands still routinely have to split $50 for days or weeks of work.
Also: The female hosts are clearly only going to wine bars and the like if they only hear DJs. They aren't seeking out live music.
Talking head 1 "When was the last time you went to a venue like that ..."
A: They would never go to the Bendi, Or even Heartbreaker.
B: If they did I hope we would refuse entry. (Im a gatekeeper and I dont care, I gatekeep to protect our tribe)
What’s with the reverb on the narration voice lol?
I, too, noticed this!
Recorded in the loos at Revs while waiting for a pill.
They think they are safe enough to not need the bread & circuses anymore.

well seems clear to me Music Australia after leaching venues of money for years should provide insurance at a reasonable cost. Payback time apra Ppca etc....
And insurance reps are some of the richest people I've ever seen
Recession looms
More like Depression, this has been building up since pre-covid.
@@dmjc yep China winning a war they never even started yet Communism taking over 🇨🇳✊🫡
Been in a per capita recession since 2019
This is what happens in an overly regulated industry. Once again the smallhat insurancers and the government force a local cultural hub to close due to ever increasing costs.
AI generated music has a big future.
Even outside the US insurance is a scam. Gotta love capitalism. No claims, no problems at all, but out of nowhere your rates are jacked three times over because some dude in a suit needs a new yacht.
That’s what happens when you close down power plants and don’t replace them
But we got wind farms bro ....😂😂😂
Dont forget solar bro ...
@@Lilfauntleroyswampson1121 I'd believe that it's safe now. My reference is if government bodies say something is bad, then it's good and vice versa. Literally everything 😂😂😂
All by design!! They dpn't want people out and about enjoying themselves!!! They want them at home in their 15 minute city!!!! This happening is no accident!!! Most people will wake up in a 15 minute city and wonder what happened!!!
GRASSROOTS. ❤
The last Bendigo Show was a sad time but an amazing evening. Sad to see it go. But I’m grateful for the last drinks. I do hop the big money venues can chip in.
