So you thought lock-out laws were damaging to Sydney’s nightlife? How about lock-down laws?
Before we go any further, I want you to stop what you’re listening to, and listen to this one by @breadclub whilst you read this. They supported my boi @mickeykojak at the Lansdowne on Saturday and owned it.
These lock-down laws are pretty hypothetical for the moment(at least here in Australia), but there have been some serious changes to venues, bars, restaurants, cafes and wherever people congregate put into place.
Will it kill live music? Not entirely — it’ll just send it packing into the digital world. It’s kind of our fourth dimension – and live online ‘festivals’ like Isol-Aid hosted by JJJ are already riding the wave.
Festivals? From home? Well shit, we’ll get to that another time. Long story short – there’s no substitute for live music, but it’s a start.
Most artists will have some platform of social media they’re reachable on. Check their socials. Instead of buying a years worth of toilet paper, support your local legends and buy some merch, ep’s, albums, art and everything in between, if you can.
We might be pushed back by a few months, but you’ll be able to get hot and sweaty with ya mates in a dusty dance floor before you know it.
Until then, fill your ear holes with the good stuff, and share it around! Whilst everyone’s busy fussing over some germs, get busy setting up playlists and must-sees for once these waters settle.
