10 Australian Documentaries to Get Your Fix of Live Music

Like everyone, Australia’s music scene has been doing it tough lately. Covid, curfews, social distancing, face masks and border closures have radically impacted Australia’s music culture. Sadly, this has meant our huge community of talented musicians haven’t been able to do what they do best: play live.

If you’re missing the taste of fresh tap beer, the feel of sticky carpet on your feet and the sound of your favourtie Aussie musicians playing live, take some time to let these entertaining documentaries transport you to the vibrant live music venues around the country. You’ll not only be treated to some great live music, you’ll also be supporting the talented Aussie filmmakers who created them.
