Internet’s Effect on Music goes Live

Joseph Calderazzo(CCE Co-founder) and Simon Meli performing at the Great Gig in the Sky concert 2009

Ever since the Napster days, I’ve always believed that the internet would ultimately revive people’s thirst for music, and also drive their thirst for live music. That philosophy in mind, I developed a strong connection with one of Australia’s most forward and most progressive live music promoters. For the last year, the Music Producer’s Forum has had a close affiliation with CCEntertainment, whose business model is focused on celebrating classic rock with world class concerts performances. In the past year we have seen their concerts grow in awareness and patronage, and it seems that this brand has only scratched the surface of its full potential market. Not only should it be limited to Greater Sydney, but throughout Australia and ultimately the rest of the world.

A new era begins for live venues in Sydney, NSW

In the 80’s, the Sydney live “pub” scene was the breeding ground for 2 iconic Australian rock groups, INXS and Midnight Oil. However, in recent times, there is no argument that Sydney has suffered creative drought of live music, and the archaic liquor licensing laws have been the core factor of blame. The 1st of July signalled changes to the laws that offers to reinvigorate a bright future for Sydney’s (and statewide) music scene.

Stone Parade review at the Art Factory

The good people at Gibson invited the Music Producers Forum to check out Sydney Northern Beaches indie band Stone Parade at the Oxford Art Factory. Battling one of Sydney’s coldest nights, a miss guided GPS device and peak hour traffic was well and truly worth the effort.

Sydney Artists Interpret the Words of Dylan

Following on from a string of sold out Rolling Stones “Beggars Banquet” concerts in February, CC Entertainment proudly present the annual TANGLED UP IN DYLAN…reinterpreting the words and music of Bob Dylan in a series of concerts to be held from Dee Why to Canterbury culminating at The Basement on Friday 30 May.
