Do you like having live music at The Blackheart? Then please sign this petition to help us counteract a petition that has been started requesting that the city revoke our music license! TO THE CITY OF AUSTIN MUSIC DIVISION: We the undersigned support live music at The Blackheart because… 1. The Blackheart has complied with all city permitting requirements and continues to make endless costly additions and changes per the city's constantly evolving specifications in order to keep their music license. 2. The Blackheart has operated within consistently decreasing decibel levels (from 85 down to 75, and now possibly going down even further to 70) and has had ZERO sound violations. 3. There are no other complaints going around against any of the other bars on Rainey Street that have live music. The Blackheart is being unfairly targeted and singled out by a small group of individuals in a neighboring residential apartment complex, and we want you to recognize that there is as much or more support FOR live music at The Blackheart as there is against it. 4. Live music is what makes this city great and attracts hundreds of thousands of tourists to our city each year, pumping millions of dollars into the city's economy. Don't destroy what keeps Austin great and keeps our tourist industry alive and well: The Live Music Scene. Thank You From The Live Music Supporters of The Blackheart Bar

THEY HAVE HAD ZERO VIOLATIONS. Let them play. Stop trying to turn Austin into a boring suburb.

Ridiculous to move next to a bar on Rainey Street and then complain about live music. You knew what you were getting into.

Love the patio vibes there. dont ruin it for everyone else just because you want total silence in the middle of downtown.

Keep the music alive. Austin is changing way too fast and if we keep killing the dive bars what is even left here?
