Just an Idea...
I don't know if any of you are fimilar with the layout of Adelaide's CBD (supposedly its textbook stuff, classical William Light Layout), but most of the shops are centred around Rundle Mall (pedestrain only, outdoor mall thing).
I thought it would be a really good publicity stunt if we (my band that is) hired out some really powerfull equipment, and did a really loud hour long concert in the middle of the mall. (I'm not suggesting busking, you need a lisence for that.)
There are only two problems:
1) power supply
2) the cops, who will haul us off after 10 minutes

Save that one for when you have interest from record companies...it'll help clinch a deal.

Re: Just an Idea...
Put up signs saying "artists against _____" (your choice of what political issue to protest about), tell the local TV station it's a protest so they'll send a news crew, and have a mate standing by with a camcorder in case the news crew doesn't show. When the cops haul you off, make sure the cameras catch you screaming about "free speech" and "fascist government censorship".
I guarantee you'll get publicity, even if you only manage to play for 10 minutes.

That's a good idea! "Artists Againts Child Abuse" would work beautifully. The cops would feel like absolute dtools for busting that gig up.
