About
LoveLetters.mp3 is a way to share stories and spotlight all things Melbourne/Naarm music scene and its significance in the lives of those part of it.
We hope to bring you the importance of the local music scene across the very diverse and fun communities that make it up, including artists, bands, fans, producers, venues and others a part of the industry.
Focusing on Naarm/Melbourne, we do interviews, gig recaps and select monthly gig guides to explore the bigger role of the local scene and its significance to artists, others in the industry, music fans, culture and everyday life.
Kind of like a love letter to music.
