Famous band member given the job to revive nightlife in a specific Australian state.
John, also known as "JC", has dedicated 21 years of his life to playing bass for one of the most successful bands in Australia. However, these days he has shifted his focus towards reviving the nightlife in Queensland. At the age of 54, JC is not only a talented musician but also a passionate owner of live music venues. And now, he has been appointed as Queensland's first-ever night-life economy commissioner.

In his new role, JC will be working closely with various establishments such as live music venues, nightclubs, bars, restaurants, pubs, and music festivals to boost the economy of Queensland. His main focus will be on Brisbane, a city known for its vibrant live music and nightlife scene. In an effort to support these venues, the Premier of Queensland, Steven Miles, has announced a $1.6 million cash boost.

Lance McCallum, the Small Business Minister, believes that JC is the perfect choice for this role due to his significant contribution to the music industry as a member of the band Powderfinger. He also adds that JC's passion for live music and his strong connection to Queensland's creative industries make him the ideal person to lead the future of the nightlife economy.

When asked about his plans, JC stated that his first priority is to have conversations with venue owners to understand the current state of Queensland's nightlife. He is eager to hear their thoughts and act as a bridge between the nightlife economy and the government. In addition to his role as a commissioner, JC is also the co-owner and venue director of two popular music venues, Fortitude Valley Music Hall and the Triffid, located in north Brisbane.
