\"\"<\/a>After a huge debut year this year, SLAM DAY is back! Registrations are now open for 2013.<\/p>\n

\u00a0On Saturday February 23rd 2013 musicians and music lovers will come together in the largest simultaneous celebration of Live Music and Small Gigs that\u2019s ever been held in Australia, for the second annual SLAM Day.<\/p>\n

On February 23rd<\/sup> last year, over 150 gigs were held in small venues across the country from Perth to Port Douglas, Tamworth to Tennant Creek, Katherine to Kensington and with the support of musicians, venues, music fans and the media, the first ever SLAM Day was a massive success.<\/p>\n

In 2013 SLAM Day falls on a Saturday – \u2018gig day\u2019, and already SLAM have been swamped with registration enquiries.\u00a0 It’s a race between the states to host the largest SLAM day, with WA and NSW ahead of the race, challenging Victoria as Australia\u2019s home of live music.<\/p>\n

Support a SLAM Day gig in your town \u2013 any style, any genre. Small gigs can happen in your backyard, in a venue, in your community hall, in a cafe, on the street or in the park.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s easy to get involved and free to register, just head to www.slamrally.org<\/a><\/p>\n
