Melbourne is known as the live music capital of the world, with more live music played on more stages than any other city. Unfortunately, what once was a thriving music community has now been devastated by forced restrictions and closures due to the global pandemic. With venues, artists and the entire local music industry bleeding, our local live music scene needed our support like never before. We drew attention to the need to support our local live music scene by creating a one-of-a-kind Maton guitar crafted from the timber taken from 4 of Melbourne’s most iconic live music venues The Tote, The Espy, The Corner and Cherry Bar – as an enduring symbol of the important role our live music venues play in fostering our once thriving music community.

The guitar formed the backbone of a feature-length documentary on Melbourne’s live music scene, its rise to become the Live Music Capital of the World and the fight to keep it alive in the face of the global pandemic. Featuring the artists, venue owners, and passionate community that made Melbourne, the live music Mecca it is. The documentary aired to a national audience on Australia’s most watched network and was streamed across multiple platforms.

Following the launch of the film, the guitar was returned to the city that made it, available for local and touring artists to use and abuse by booking it through our website.
