S.L.A.M (Save Live Australia’s Music) has organised a protest in both support and celebration of Victoria’s music scene.  The strong independent and thriving music culture, renowned worldwide, is currently being severely threatened by unfair constraints being enforced upon venue owners. The long term aim of the idiotic laws is to reduce the number of Liquor Licenses in Victoria by making it too difficult or expensive for smaller venues to afford one.  The end result will mean that there will be less small venues and more larger venues.  S.L.A.M will play an integral role in attempting to voice the dismay and concern of music lovers and creators alike.

Show your support for this precious industry by taking part on this important day, make a placard, bring ya instruments  and chant down these ridiculous laws!
