The Perth Plague, No One Comes Here!

No one comes here, musical artists always miss out perth. I remember looking out for the Radiohead tour dates a few years ago, and even Adelaide got a birth. Come on, is this some kind of joke. I'm sure that Thom Yorke would of loved hangin out in a few churches when he wasn't playing that gig.

Perth is an infrastructure nightmare. And look at the decisions made by these people, did we need a belltower, no. Do we need 80,000 plus seating for high profile concerts and afl matches, yes. So what gets proposed. a 65,000 oval which will not even be full capacity in 6 years time. It is ridiculous.

WA is wait awhile, and culturally we have a lot to be proud of musically. Being so isolated though means we don't have access to resources or venues for muso's to play at, like the eastern states have. if you are a musician you'll probably find yourself living in Melbourne sooner rather than later, and then when your band is big than they'll claim you as theirs. That's what we do to the kiwis that become big.

Look a this city and what it has to offer, Perth is brilliant, and if you are reading this in another country come and visit. Because you'll see how great it really is, but at the moment you may not be able to see it's full potential just yet.
