New Zealand Music Revival
- New Zealand’s music scene is struggling after losing its media
- Local artists are finding new ways to promote their music
- A new music platform is being built to replace the old media
The State of NZ Music
New Zealand’s music scene has been facing significant challenges.
Live performance revenue reached $329 million, but very little of that is local talent.
Forum Voices
Some people believe that local music can still thrive without a strong media presence.
There’s a guy in Wellington making a photocopied weekly gig guide which will do more for the local music scene than this attempt at making a profitable social media.
Others think that the focus on numbers and statistics is part of the problem.
I think the content of the article highlights the exact reason why the music died. Large portions of the text are simply a powerpoint presentation with numbers, and stats and percentages and not enough about people enjoying the music.

The Road to Recovery
Despite the challenges, there are still many people who care about NZ music.
Some have suggested that famous NZ artists like Neil, Tim, and Lorde could help save the music scene.
Neil, Tim and Lorde need to get together, put on a gig at the basin, live aid style and save nz muso journalism!
Others have pointed out that the problem is not unique to NZ, but is also happening in Australia and the UK.
