Small space live music venues in Sydney are dying at an alarming rate. This year so far we have lost (or are about to lose): • Annandale Creative Arts Centre in Annandale • Monster Mouse in Marrickville • Mary's Underground in Circular Quay • The Red House (People's Republic) in Earlwood (1/3)

Many of the Reads on our website had unintentionally been hidden. Now fixed! Take a read of our archive: interviews with BAYANG (tha Bushranger), Party Dozen, Darren "D.C." Cross, Mara Schwerdtfeger, Nick Ward, plus selections & picks from curators and organisers across Eora. sydneymusic.net/reads

A source that makes a city’s music scene more visible and legible is crucial infrastructure. We started @sydneymusic.net as a non-profit gig guide because every other human-made discoverability resource by for-profit businesses had collapsed when the profits did, and scraped data can’t fill the void

In my debut for @theatlantic.com, I wrote about the disappearance of cultural listings from major New York media outlets, and what it portends for artists, audiences, institutions, and journalists. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Important time to be making as much noise as possible about the erosion of Australian music culture. Includes some soundbites from my partner-in-crime @caitlinwelsh.bsky.social, @benleemusic.bsky.social, Tyson Koh (fbi radio), Floodlights, Starving Kids in Brissie, and the triple j team.

Are cost-of-living pressures and streaming platform algorithms killing Australian music?

From closing venues to soaring expenses, Australia's music industry is facing well-documented challenges. But what happens if audiences can no longer afford to answer?
