What's wrong with the old fashioned way?
Find musicians to collaborate with - it sounds easy, but it can be a long and difficult task. When you start a band or join a band, you will be forgiven for thinking that it’s almost impossible to find musicians with the right attitude, the right ability, the right gear, the right age, the right availability in the right genre - all in the right place!
Sourcing musicians for your studio recording can be just as difficult. To achieve a pro recording you have to make a band work - you need the right band mix. Countless sessions have not achieved their full potential simply because members of the band wanted different things - musicians wanted their own vision fulfilled.
Of course, when you’re looking for a band it’s hard enough to find a band, but bands looking for you are having the same problems!
The music industry has always suffered these problems - until now
Having an imperfect bandmix would seem to be ‘just the way it is’ with careers in music...but not any longer...Whether you are starting a band or want to join a band, Musical Exchanges’ ground-breaking MX Recruit is for you. Discovering local bands, aiming for a professional recording career or trying to find a player available for a one-off gig it couldn't be easier!
And don’t forget - your own ad in Musical Exchanges' MX Recruit means that a band looking for you has a much better chance of finding you.
The service works like a dating site. It compares your profile against those placed by other advertisers and quickly provides a shortlist of the most compatible matches.

This presents another great opportunity to build music relationships - a massive step forward compared with placing a musicians classified ad!Live music in Australia
Australia is a melting pot of exciting and innovative music. In the same way Australian cuisine has become a world leader by taking the best elements of the western world and making it their own, Australian music has done the same creating a unique blend, developing a true Australian style.
Music in Australia can be traced back thousands of years. The music of indigenous Australians can still be heard today with the style and genre being protected and encouraged, the music traditions of a Country kept alive for a great Nation.
Whatever your musical taste, whatever musical genre you listen to you are able to find it played live in the Australian live music venues.
Folk, Folk-Rock bands and Country music thrive in Australia, the traditions and sounds of these genres formed decades ago have developed a style that is Australia, they are still as valid today as they ever were crossing over into other genres and influencing many of the Australian musicians of today.
In Australia during the 60’s radio stations had a unwillingness to play the R&B and Soul records that were coming over from America, this may have angered some American artists and labels but the Australian public had a desire to hear these songs, the result was many Australian musicians made great careers doing cover versions of the American classics.
Australian Rock and Pop music has produced many outstanding acts who after conquering Australia went on to find worldwide success. The history of this genre suffered a similar fete to the Soul genre with a complete radio ban due to a “pay to Play” scandal. Again this prompted a surge of Australian talent being signed by Independent record labels getting their records played and reaping the rewards.
Other genres to do well in Australia are Indie, Heavy Metal and Electronic & Dance music, these genres heavily influenced by US & British bands have created huge success and gained an avid following not only in Australia but elsewhere around the Globe.
Jazz music has also fared well following a reduction in popularity in the 70’s Jazz music has been enjoying a bit of a resurgence in the last 25 years. Many Jazz clubs around the country do good business and help bring Jazz to an expectant public.
Classical music is not the first genre you think of when Australia is mentioned, however Australia has a great tradition in Classical music. Throughout the 19th and 20th Centuries Australia produced many great Classical musicians. Today every State has their own Symphony and Chamber Orchestras. The introduction of a National Classical music radio Station in 1976, ABC Classic FM, helped bring Classical music to the masses, today with listening figures of over a million people.
Australia has been responsible for some major talent who became very successful in Australia and some who went on to find success on a worldwide stage; Nellie Melba, Slim Dusty, Johnny O’Keefe, The Bushwacker Band, Nick Cave, AC/DC, Jimmy Barnes, Midnight Oil, INXS, Men at Work, Air Supply, Crowded House, Powderfinger, Sydney Symphony Orchestra, Kylie Minogue, Jason Donavon, Natalie Imbruglia, Danni Minogue, The Wiggles and Cody Simpson.
