Descripción

We've got a couple of interesting sets of numbers for you in this one. In this episode of the Music News, we kick things off with a look at the surge in popularity of heavy music in recent years. Attached to this data is the assertion that the state of the world is driving people back to the mosh. Correlation or causation? Moving from spike to slump, we then explore where Australia landed in the latest Global Music Report from the International Federation Of The Phonographic Industry (IFPI). This year's report saw the Aussie market slide further down global rankings; and our modest year-on-year growth makes for uncomfortable reading. We round things off with an age old Homebrewed cloud-yell: Grand Final entertainment. In a win for Australian music, Gomeroi rapper Kobie Dee has been announced as the The A League Men's Grand Final entertainment. This follows the AFL's announcement that Kylie Minogue will perform at the biggest game of their season. We dive into why this is important and where other codes have been letting us down. All eyes on you, NRL. Thanks for listening! Be sure to subscribe for more content.

Gabilóu Garnet on Central Coast's thriving music scene, new single, auditioning for Bad Bunny & more

Gabilóu Garnet is a relatively new face to the Central Coast music scene, but she's been very impactful in her short time as a musician. GG grew up outside of a music household, but she tells us that her mother knew she had talent as a three-year-old. Gabilóu also tells us about the time she auditioned for a video with Bad Bunny, and how she balances her acting pursuits with her music career. Thanks for listening!

AI act controversially takes the stage in Sydney & artists head to Canberra to counter big tech lobbying | Music News

This week - for better or worse - we're up to our necks in AI stories. We kick things off with a look at a recent Eora/Sydney gig that saw music company Good Intent unintentionally book a two-thirds AI act on a bill for emerging artists. For their part, Good Intent quickly apologised, explaining the incident as an oversight. Given their remarkable record of backing (human) music from Sydney and Australia, we're inclined to back Good Intent's explanation, but the situation opens the door for plenty of interesting discussion. Next, we have a quick peak at recent data from The Atlantic that has managed to quantify just how much Aussie music has been illegally scraped by AI models. It's not surprising but grim all the same. Finally, we have yet another look at what's going on with copyright protection and AI in Canberra, as artists from across the spectrum flock to Parliament House to ensure political positions don't change. This comes in the wake of recent whistleblower reports suggesting the Government is again considering changes to copyright protections for AI use. Thanks for listening!

Rolling Sets rolls out of town and Lou Sawilejskij unpacks some exciting news for Gosford | Music News

It's been a rollercoaster few weeks for music on the Central Coast, so we're going deep on local stories for this episode. First up, we dive into the disappointing news that Rolling Sets festival is packing up shop and moving to Newcastle. The music Festival had bucked national trends in recent years, managing strong ticket sales in a tough climate and staging consecutive successful events. We explore the reasons for the move and share our thoughts on what this will and won't mean for music on The Central Coast. Next up we're joined by Central Coast Music and Arts Executive Chair and great friend of Homebrewed Lou Sawilejskij to unpack the trial designation of Gosford CBD as a Special Entertainment Precinct (SEP). Lou explains what an SEP designation for Gosford will mean and why everyone should be excited about it. As the Festival Director for Gossy Weekender festival, Lou also teases some news about this year's event. Keep an ear out for some nuggets of information ahead of the official announcement in early July. Thanks for listening! Be sure to subscribe for more content.

Why NSW Police are appealing a landmark festival strip search lawsuit | Music News

Content warning: This episode discusses events and examples of police strip searching which may be traumatic for some. In November last year, we discussed a class action lawsuit against NSW Police. The case revolved around lead plaintiff Raya Meredith, and her unlawful strip search (as admitted by NSW Police) at Splendour in the Grass in 2018. Meredith was awarded $90,000 dollars in compensation. NSW Police are now appealing those damages on six grounds. We break down those grounds and as always, offer our views. Thanks for listening!
