Funded Activity Summary

Interrogating the music city: cultural economy & popular music in Melbourne. Drawing on a range of sources and disciplinary frameworks, this project is designed to be both a history of the pop and rock music scenes in Melbourne from the mid-1950s to the present, and an analysis and critique of the usefulness of the concept of the 'music city' to understanding the role of popular music in the cultural economy of cities internationally. Melbourne is Australia’s premier ‘music city’, with popular music a key component of its contemporary identity and cultural economy. As governments and civic leaders around the world increasingly look to music cultures as drivers of economic development and cultural status, the project offers a timely evaluation of the utility of this cultural and economic strategy.
