Show Cancelled

Due to circumstances beyond our control our show in Dandenong on January 30th has been cancelled. This is due to the promoter pulling out because of the recent changes to liquor licensing laws in Victoria that have seen the license fees for live venue increase exorbitantly.

Many of you would also be aware that the same law changes have indirectly resulted in the closure of another of Melbourne's iconic band venues, The Tote.

These new liquor licensing laws are designed to combat the rise in violence episodes at inner-city nightclubs and beer-barns and not designed well enough, or with enough flexibility to allow for historically non-violent venues like The Tote to be exempt from a "high-risk" tag. The Victorian government, in particular Lynne Kosky (resigned 18/1/10 - former Minister for the Arts) and Tony Robinson are going to kill live music in Victoria if they keep this up.

This band has always maintained a strictly non-political public profile, but enough is enough already. Remember live music the next time someone asks you to vote for them!!!!
