Music SA are pleased to announce its continued partnership with the SA Motor Sport Board, with support from Nova 919 and Mix 102.3 to present Bands On Track 2013 - a showcase of great SA music over three nights as part of the Concert Series at the Clipsal 500 Adelaide in March 2013. 

Daniel Randell, General Manager of Music SA today announced “We’re delighted to be partnering with Clipsal 500 Adelaide to deliver the Bands On Track project for a second year. South Australia has some of the best performers in the country, and we are excited that they have this opportunity to perform to massive crowds on a big stage with awesome production!” 

BANDS ON TRACK 2013 

The Bands On Track partnership provides the opportunity for great South Australian acts to earn a paid performance sharing the Clipsal 500 Concert Stage with some of the world’s biggest
bands. Six South Australian acts will be chosen to perform on the Clipsal 500 Adelaide Concert Oval Stage in 2013. 

ONE SOUTH AUSTRALIAN ACT 

Will be selected to open for Hilltop Hoods, Drapht, ILLY and Pez on Friday 1 March 

TWO SOUTH AUSTRALIAN ACTS

THREE SOUTH AUSTRALIAN ACTS

A group of music industry professionals have been chosen to work with Music SA to select the six SA bands. SA Bands wishing to perform can apply online from Friday 7 December through the www.bandsontrack.com.au website. Music SA advised they expect to receive quite a few submissions, and urge bands to take the time to make a professional and well thought out application. Submissions close midnight 31 December. 

South Australian Motor Sport Board Chief Executive Mark Warren added “As South Australia’s largest annual ticketed sporting event, the Clipsal 500 Adelaide is also one of the State’s largest music festivals with three on circuit concerts that are free to race fans. The association with Music SA for the “Bands on Track” concert at the 2013 event further expands the role of the Clipsal 500 Adelaide as part of South Australia’s heritage as the leading festival, music, arts, and sport State and is a great initiative promoting local talent”.

SLAM Day (Save Live Australia's Music) to happen on Feb 23. Whether you are in a band or just a music lover, GET INVOLVED!

                                                                 LIVE MUSIC, SMALL GIGS

                                                                                 SLAM Day
                                                               Saturday February 23rd 2013
                                             “A day where the whole country stops for live music”



After a huge debut year this year, SLAM DAY is back! Registrations are now open for 2013.

On Saturday February 23rd 2013 musicians and music lovers will come together in the largest simultaneous celebration of Live Music and Small Gigs that’s ever been held in Australia, for the second annual SLAM Day.

On February 23rd last year, over 150 gigs were held in small venues across the country from Perth to Port Douglas, Tamworth to Tennant Creek, Katherine to Kensington and with the support of musicians, venues, music fans and the media, the first ever SLAM Day was a massive success.

In 2013 SLAM Day falls on a Saturday - ‘gig day’, and already SLAM have been swamped with registration enquiries.  It's a race between the states to host the largest SLAM day and SA will be right up there, challenging NSW, WA and Victoria as Australia’s home of live music.

Support a SLAM Day gig in your town – any style, any genre. Small gigs can happen in your backyard, in a venue, in your community hall, in a cafe, on the street or in the park.

It’s easy to get involved and free to register, just head to www.slamrally.org


About SLAM

SLAM (Save Live Australia’s Music) was born out of the SLAM rally, the largest cultural protest in Australia’s history. 20,000 people marched in Melbourne to change government policy that incorrectly linked live music to violence.

Since then, SLAM has successfully lobbied and contributed to:

Change the law in Victoria; live music is now recognized in the objects of The Liquor Licensing Act

Break the policy link between live music and violence in Victoria

Initiate the Premier’s Round Table for Live Music in Victoria. Outcomes from the roundtable include the reform of planning policy and licensing law in relation to all ages gigs, and cutting red tape.

A new Live Music Strategy and Lord Mayors Advisory Panel in the City of Melbourne

Live Music taskforces in City of Yarra and City of Port Phillip

Live music is now firmly on the political agenda, with:

A National call for candidates to have a Live Music Policy at all State and Council elections

In NSW, the City of Sydney prepares to launch a Live Music taskforce

In SA, the state government sent a delegation and met with SLAM representatives and have since announced and passed new small bar laws, a live music hub, a Live Music ‘Thinker in Residence’ and an Action Plan for the City of Adelaide

Federally, a new Live Music Coordinator has finally been appointed.

The inaugural National SLAM Day was held on February 23rd this year, on the anniversary of the SLAM rally. SLAM Day is a campaign aimed at the broader community as an event that celebrates our local musicians and our small gigs. SLAM Day was embraced all around the country with thousands of musicians and tens of thousands of punters getting involved.

"It's important that we nurture and support the live music scene in Adelaide both for ourselves and for the next generation of musicians and music lovers. We have a vibrant arts community in this town and I'd hate to see that eroded by short sighted licensing laws." – Taasha Coates, The Audreys

"Anything to save live music is a good thing indeed" – Martin Elbourne, Music Thinker In Residence

"I have been lucky enough to have been full time employed by this great industry for over 25 years both as a musician, a studio and duplication facility owner and now manager of two amazing facilities. Music as an art form transcends many cultural and community boundaries and is one way to bring people of all ages and lifestyles together for a common reason." – David Grice, The Promethean

"As the world's premier beard-related rock act, The Beards throw their support behind SLAM, a truly worthy cause. South Australia needs a strong live music scene, so that our bearded artists (and, to a lesser extent, non-bearded artists) can continue to prosper nationally and internationally." - Johann Beardraven, The Beards.

Deftones announce 2013 Australian Tour with Letlive

DEFTONES have always been one step ahead of their alternative metal peers. They have spent their career battling on the front-line, always pushing ahead stylistically and crafting crushingly effective metal tracks whilst breaking new ground.

2010's ‘Diamond Eyes’ was a roaring return for the band but it’s the new album ‘Koi No Yokan’ that sees them forge into unchartered territory. NME were in awe exclaiming “it’s easy to see why they’re so revered. It’s a shotgun blast of cranked guitars, bruising hardcore and canyon-sized choruses…mesmerising.” Absolute Punk summed it up in one sentence…”this is a fucking great album.”  Under The Gun rated the album perfect stating “The band’s vision and skill remain second to none in their field and they have executed this record sublimely. “

Full of punk rock aggression and rock ‘n’ roll swagger letlive. have exploded on to the world stage as one of the most exciting and important bands of 2012.

Channeling the frantic intensity of The Blood Brothers, awe inspiring sonic complexity of At the Drive In, the unrestrained emotion of Glassjaw and industrial strength hardcore of Refused, letlive. are injecting new blood into the scene with their latest record ‘Fake History’…”Consistently thrilling and invigorating it’s a phenomenal record that’s worthy of all praise.” - Rock Sound

So brace yourself for extremes as you prepare to witness the eagerly-awaited return of DEFTONES in May 2013. They “are simply a brutal and out-of-control noise machine…always shattering the foundations of the buildings they play in”. NME
