Music Industry EXPOSED - Secrets From An Insider!

We have the great privileged to be able to pick the brains of someone who has reached dizzying heights of success in the music industry, has come back "down" to earth, and has lived to tell the tale. And no, this is not an episode of Celebrity Rehab!

Dave onstage with Alibrandi

Do you have dreams of becoming a rock star? A pop star? A hip hop mogul? Or do you have a son or daughter begging for their first guitar so they can be the next Taylor Swift or Imagine Dragons?

Don't be afraid of your dreams. Every successful person in any industry began as a child with a dream. And the music industry is not all sex & drugs & rock n' roll - your life can be greatly enhanced simply by having a guitar on hand and the skill to play it, at your next family BBQ.

Let's see what difference musical ability has made to Dave's life:

I think being/feeling successful in playing music is all about the little goals you set for yourself. 

Quietly I wanted to write some songs that would take off and would fantasise about playing those songs in front of lots of people. I am blessed to have be able to have done that. 

Little goals like:

Recording in a professional studio - check

Printing our first run of t-shirts and merch - check 

Releasing the recordings on iTunes (before there was Spotify ) - check

Flying to the states to play show case shows in front of industry label types - check.

Playing 100 shows in one year to basically no one just to get tight as a band performance wise. I have spent thousands of dollars on gear, flights, merch rehearsal room costs parking and fuel.

I'm happy with what i achieved, and continue to achieve as a musician. It's ALL about expressing yourself. NOT about whether it's able to be marketed, sold or recouped. If you love what you play, work hard and strive to write something original then you've already WON. If other people like it or buy it then that's a bonus. Not the purpose.

Music to me is a family legacy. I am playing my part in something that will continue through the generations. Family gatherings always end up being musical, singing playing and laughing. Those are some of the fondest memories I have. 

If one thing inspires me continually it's to make those childhood memories a reality in my son's life. That what passion feels like. Connecting through music has concreted some of the best long standing friendships I have ever had.  

If I had any regrets it's that i wish i started playing earlier. But that's only selfishly to be further ahead in my ability. 


Being a musician has made me broke, but I am not complete without it. I'd be a frustrated, lost, lonely person without being artistically creative. My medium is sound. 

Dave's other side - the friendly face of The Music Spot

Dave is now a contented family man, whom you can also find assisting other people to further their own dreams at The Music Spot. If you have a dream - don't let anyone or anything stand in your way. Come down and have a chat to Dave, and if you're lucky, you might even get to hear some of his magic on the guitar!

What's your favourite band?

Today is Aussie Band Shirt Day, and the Spot Boys got the memo:

Phil, Chris & Johnny and their favourite bands

Well, half of the memo. Not all of them are Aussie bands, but they've all toured here, so maybe we can say they're honourary Aussie bands?

Guitar News

This week the buzz is around Fender Amps, and we have quite a selection.

No Johnny, Candy Apple is the colour, not the flavour..

These three are Limited Edition (just like Johnny!) - and we only have one of each (again, including Johnny - some may say that's a good thing!). They are the Blues Junior (the one Johnny was trying to eat), the 65 Princeton Navy Blue and the 65 Deluxe Navy Blue. We have great prices going on each so I'd advise you to come down and check them out.

Drum News

Have you seen this? 

Chris making magic

The DTX Multi 12 Percussion Pad - you can make magic with this thing. It's a great addition to any acoustic kit, opening up a whole new world of sounds to play with. It has heaps of cool sounds included, and the capability to store your own samples. Everything you could want!

Pro Audio News

Fender In Ear Monitors are Phil's new jam:

Phil is all ears..

I get the feeling he was one of those kids who would start playing with his Christmas presents before he actually took them out of the box. And I can kind of understand with these things, they are pretty exciting: imagine having your entire band sound clearly in your head with no interference. You can stay on top of exactly what's going on with your sound without having to stand in front of a box in one place. Never miss a beat again! 

We have the DXA1 and the FXA2, covering everything from the garage band or weekend warrior, all the way up to the seasoned musician.  And don't worry, they don't make you look like Phil!

Keyboard News

Casio make keyboards! Lots of em!

Johnny is feeling a little overwhelmed..

And we can help you with all your keyboard needs with our great range. We've got everything from the keylighting models such as the LKs up to the WK240, with over 600 different tones. This means you can get your kids in on their first keyboard easily and they can grow with us, as their talents increase and the music they make starts to pop! Imagine what you could do with one of these babies!

Folk News

Banjos! Chris digs em..

Chris putting on his Lil Abner face

This Tanglewood will get Daisy Mae dancing, and all the rest of Dogpatch as well! It comes with Tanglewood's great 5 year warranty, and has amazing tone and easy playability. Plus the natural gloss timber tone is absolutely gorgeous. If you demand satisfaction, come on down for a duel!

Band & Orchestral News

Jupiter Saxophones are a fave for school students and experienced players alike.

Phil trying to channel his inner Kenny G, but needless to say his sax playing blows..

Like this nice Alto, a 500 series that delivers exceptional tone for it's price point. But if you are like Phil and want a nice deep Tenor, give the 500 series a go there too - this series redefines the entry level student instrument. Just because you don't want to spend the big bucks doesn't mean you don't want the big sound!
