How's the "Live Music" scene down in the Aussie & NZ corner?
Well of course Melbourne would be far and away the best city for that
Long standing joints like the 'Corner Hotel' in Richmond, plus a horde of other
vintage pubs in the city and surrounding Brunswick, St Kilda, Fitzroy ensure there is
always a heap of music to go out and see on any given night.
Cover charges are reasonable too - about $10 gets you into a heap of gigs.
Then there are the wax carrying DJ's who play some pretty cool venues.
'Rooftop' which would have to be one of Melbourne's tallest open sky bars
has some talented wax jockeys occasionally and a really strange back alley
bar called 'The Croft Institute'' - which is this eclectic mix of a Swedish lab downstairs
with fresh grass growing on the bar but upstairs it looks like a run down
1950's basketball court.
Cherry Bar in the heart of the city awhile back had a good reputation too.
The St Jerome's Laneway music fest is another good one - this time in
Footscray, but it's going around the country.
