One major issue is the demise of the larger venues from where came all the top Ausie bands...
Now with smaller venues and tighter wallets and competition from poker machines the venues are smaller , booze consumption is less and there is less money to pay for bands . So whats left?
Folk who turn up with a guitar and they cost , in most cases nothing . That lends itself to singer songwriter/folk/country rather than danceble pop/rock
Not many solo artists can rock it up enough for chicks to dance to so the chicks head off to the discos ..and where the chicks go, so go the men .
Hopefully the wheel will turn as it usually does only with a new tread pattern
