@Gabz circa ‘97-98 we had so many awesome punk bands coming through town, Millencolin, NoFX, Bad Religion, No Use For A Name, Lagwagon, No Fun At All, and a whole load of others.

Then slowly but surely our local council killed live music by allowing residential/apartment developments to go up right next door to music venues, and we all know what comes next....noise complaints, drunken youth complaints, and then next thing you know, there’s no music scene and a huge part of the cities identity is gone. Same happened in Adelaide, it had a thriving metal scene, which is effectively non-existent now.
