Live Music on the Gold Coast
Because theGold Coast is a holiday town, most venues prefer to put on cover bands than take a risk with local original talent, however a few venues do give you the chance to see local, national and international touring bands and artists.
Most taverns and hotels also offer live music after dark and the quality can range from exceptional to unbearable, depending on your point of view.
There is a good local live music scene on the Gold Coast, headed by roots artists like The Black Market Rhythm Co., The Indigo Frequency and Rogerthat, heavier artists like Bowser, The Combovers, The Presidents Bush and a plethora of metal bands, punk outfits, hip hop artists like The Winnie Coopers add a splattering of funk and soul.
If you really want to see some good live music your best bet would be to pick up the local street press from a music or record store and see what's happening. You won't be disappointed.
