Save Live Australian Music - National SLAM Day February 23rd 2012

SLAM (Save Live Australian Music) started in 2010 in response to crippling Victorian liquor licensing laws which inappropriately linked live music to violence, leading to the closure of the iconic Tote Hotel and threatening other small venues. The subsequent SLAM Rally, on the back of a flatbed truck through Melbourne on February 23, 2010, was the largest cultural protest in Australia's history.

On February 23rd over 100 music venues around Australia will celebrate Australia's live music scene by putting on shows with an aim to promote and foster a greater appreciation of small venues. For a full gig guide list head on over here: http://www.slamrally.org/slam-day-gig-guide/
