Major music magazine launched across Australia
Music.com.au is launching itself in magazine format around Australia this month, with editions distributed in Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and Brisbane.
The inaugural covers are graced by one of the Australia’s most popular bands, Midnight Juggernauts. The print format is a bold new move for the company, which has built up a dedicated following online.
The advent of a new Australia-wide music magazine is timely, especially as the famous Drum Magazine will be no longer available. The rise of Music magazine seems well timed, as the upsurge in live concerts continues, and new venues are created to coincide with the arrival of warmer weather.
This month’s highlights include an interview with teenage publisher Tavi Gevinson. Her rise in the publishing world is remarkable, especially considering the 17-year-old now employs 80 staff. Music magazine also investigates the ‘Top Five Breakfast Places’ - important information for punters after a long night out on the town.
In a nod to the biggest of all music magazines, Rolling Stone, Music is not afraid to venture into the political minefield. This month sees investigators going undercover at a cocktail party in honour of mining magnate Clive Palmer. According to Music, the vote is still out as to whether Mr Palmer has the appeal to match his ambition.
Music has hit the ground running in all major cities, with the only concern being the Wednesday publication leaving little time to plan ahead for gigs on Thursday and Friday. Melbourne music fans are understandably ecstatic about the news, while many already work with local printing companies to produce their own fanzines.
