Live venues hit rock bottom | Herald Sun, 5/31/07: "WITH the number of live venues dwindling fast, Melbourne's music industry is on the verge of a crisis.
Melbourne's live venues seem to be dropping like flies, Melbourne losing two rock rooms last week alone.
The 1880-capacity Palace will close in two weeks to make way for the $300 million redevelopment of the St Kilda triangle site.
And Fitzroy's Spanish Club, which holds about 500, will close on June 23 after a long stoush with residents, council and liquor licensing....
That means Melbourne will be without a 1800-2500 capacity standing-room live venue for the foreseeable future, with the Forum the closest candidate at 1500.
