Albo reassures creatives, Bluesfest liquidator points to a grim outlook & Sydney Queer venue forced to close | Music News

We've got quite a range of stories for you this week! We kick things off with an update on the ongoing concerns around AI and Australian copyright that we discussed on our last Music News episode. Anthony Albanese has given some pretty strong reassurance to the creative community and announced a revised approach from his government to the AI wave. Next, we have another update for you following the release of the Bluesfest preliminary liquidator report. Spoiler: It's looking worse than we thought. Finally, we dive into the controversy and temporary closure of brand new Sydney venue, Divine Playhouse. The LGBTQIA+ venue was recently forced to close just eight days after opening following protests and complaints from some Christian groups.

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.

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.
