You all know this story. You go to a gig and watch a local muso you love play to a room of about two hundred people. Everyone in the room has their phone out. The music is amazing. She makes enough from the gig to pay the band… but not to get ahead.
And she made $11 from streaming that month. Make you wonder how she'll fund recording her next album, hey… or whether she'll even bother.
We built The Pack Music Co-operative because we thought there was a better arrangement available — one where 70% of every subscription goes directly to the artists you actually listen to, where discovery surfaces music being made locally, and where the platform is owned by the musicians on it.
We thinking streaming should be a realistic supplementary income, not an extraction racket.
We're crowdfunding now, from $25. https://crowdfunding.startsomegood.com/thepackmusiccoop #ThePackMusic #FairPay #AustralianMusic #SupportLocalMusic
Proud to be a member of this union. Three pickets, one branch, and a membership that made its voice heard. This is just the beginning. We will continue, and we will win. Solidarity!
