I assume you are referring to some behind the scenes intrigue with the folks who create the site.

I'm more concerned with where the viewers/participants have gone.

And what's the difference between livevictoria and http://vanislemusic.com - Tue, 1 May 2012 1:46pm Edited: Tue, 1 May 2012 1:48pm

I think people realized the more time spent actually practicing and making music than talking about it on here, the better. - Fri, 4 May 2012 10:11am Edited: Fri, 4 May 2012 10:13am

Ping Pong, what you write makes perfect sense. And in a perfect world it would be the absolute truth however, judging by the posts I have read here over the many years I would say that is not likely what happened.

You give musicians waaaay too much credit. - Fri, 4 May 2012 11:35am Edited: Fri, 4 May 2012 1:26pm

Its the scene that has died. Metal in Victoria is not what it was in 2002-2008. - Wed, 9 May 2012 10:18pm Edited: Wed, 9 May 2012 10:18pm

Yeah there is more than just Metal but Metal & Punk have tanked over the past couple years and were the bread and butter of cheap shows for teenage angst. There are still a lot of acts especially more generic rock & folk that surely would be seeking musicians. Seems like the live scene has dropped off a lot yet there seem to be a large number of recording artists in town. Seems backwards. This year has been much better so far than last year though. - Fri, 11 May 2012 11:03am

Could be many different things. Loss in venues. The pay to play mechanics. DJs taking over. I'll think you'll find more and more young bands would rather throw their own house shows. Less and less venues want to take chances on a no-name talent until they have proper recordings and a chance to make a profit.

Plus, this ain't the planet of sound. - Fri, 11 May 2012 4:50pm Edited: Fri, 11 May 2012 4:54pm
