Music Industry NewsWarped Tour founder to shed light on music industryFor Melbourne's live music fans, the Tote Hotel remains dead. But its passing has not been in vain.The state government today committed $250,000 Australian ($223,000) in funding for the newly-created music lobby body Music Victoria. The government's financial support is a nod to the local industry's concerns over toughened liquor licensing rules that have resulted in the closure last month of live music icon the Tote Hotel, and a spate of other pubs pulling the plug on their live music programming. "Music Victoria will provide a unified voice and will play a role in advocacy and industry development by providing support services for music makers and small businesses as well as a knowledge-hub and on-line resources," commented Victoria's arts minister Peter Batchelor on the government's boost. "But most importantly, Music Victoria will celebrate and promote our fantastic contemporary music scene."The cash injection comes after more than 200 members of the Victorian music community met Tuesday (Feb. 16) to discuss how Music Victoria would play an integral part in the future development and protection of Victorian contemporary music.
