SLAM/FG4LM statement:
 
"The link between Live Music and high risk conditions has not been resolved. This is the core issue.
The government has shown good faith and is beginning to understand the needs of the live music sector by funding Music Victoria, however, as far as solving the complexity of the impact of licensing laws on the live music scene, we’ve made it to Jolimont, not Epping and can’t agree what to do at Clifton Hill, both sides are still pushing the train!"
 
SLAM Rally starts at the State Library at 4pm on Tuesday 23rd February.
 
We march down Swanston Street up to Spring Street  to State Parliament.
 
What is SLAM?
S.L.A.M. is Save Live Australia’s Music, a non-politically aligned, independent entity made up of musicians and music-lovers.
On 23 February, coinciding with the 34th anniversary of AC/DC’s famous ‘It’s A Long Way To The Top’ film clip shoot down Swanston Street, S.L.A.M. is protesting in support and celebration of Victoria’s music scene, where new liquor licensing laws threaten to pull the plug on live music.
Meet at 4pm outside the State Library to make your way along Swanston Street and up Bourke Street to Parliament House to hear guest speakers from 6 to 7pm.

The RocKwiz Orchestra with guest performers will lead the rally, repeating the three chords from ‘It’s A Long Way to the Top’ in the back of a flatbed truck as we follow – ALL 10,000 PLUS OF US – holding placards and instruments chanting down these ridiculous laws.
Lack of support for this precious industry has gone on for too long! Celebrate the diversity of Victorian music. Be one of the thousands of musicians and music supporters who will make this a day to remember!
Music means many things to many people, but the most important is that it IS passion, creativity, happiness and life for many people. So please come and help support one of the best things that Australia has to offer: live & local music.
Invite everyone and if you can’t attend please sign the petition. If you are reading this you love music. Keep it alive by keeping it live.
This is a peaceful, all ages protest and is alcohol free!
