Live Music in Secondlife

One of the greatest things about the 3D virtual world Secondlife is the amazing live music available 24/7.
Bands and solo artists from all around the globe stream live from their locations.
An ever changing, long list of events is available in search.
There is everything from karaoke singers warbling away to backing tracks, jazz virtuosos, rap artists, rock bands and even 'tribute' bands that perform to pre-recorded 'live' shows created by the original band.
Teleport to the virtual venue and interact with other avatars and the band.
Being able to sit in my lounge watching, listening and dancing along to a Japanese Hip-Hop group or rocking out with one of my favourite virtual bands "The Follow" from the USA is a blast.
Via chat, I can communicate with the often bizarre collection of avatars in the audience, request a song from the band or hold private conversations in Instant Message.
Most venues and musicians rely on tips to continue to be able to do what they do.
It can cost a lot of money to run and operate a venue in Secondlife so it's only fair to offer a small tip for the privilege of being able to enjoy live music at their establishment.
The diversity of acts and time zones means there is generally always something happening in-world however the New Zealand time zone isn't that great because most of the US and European acts perform during their evening being my morning.
Check out Secondlife and the amazing range of live music available.
