Made From Melbourne

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 guitar crafted from the timber taken from four 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.

Made From Melbourne

Backed by Support Act, Mushroom Records and the late great music industry icon, Michael Gudinski.

The documentary and ongoing project features the Maton MM3000, a one-of-a-kind guitar, made from the iconic live music venues it’s helping save.

The guitar is currently being considered for heritage listing by the State Government of Victoria and will eventually be housed at the Australian Music Vault.
