How a 'jealous' mystery figure is secretly 'sabotaging' Melbourne's live music scene with a disgraceful tactic that's leaving bands fuming
A furious Aussie punk rock singer has spoken out about a mystery figure who is secretly sabotaging Melbourne 's live music scene.
Elly Vex, from Mannequin Death Squad, posted a video to social media explaining how dozens of her band's posters on Sydney Road in Brunswick, had been systematically damaged overnight, to remove all the information about their upcoming Bergy Bandroom gig on July 6.
