A comprehensive examination of the development of the Brisbane (Australia) music scene through the 70s, 80s, and early 90s - a period of censorship, political turmoil, and police corruption. I was a teen during the mid-80s and remember some of the bands and events described. I was particularly interested to read about the activities during the 70s, when I, as a young child, was unaware of the reality of cultural life. The book brings back many memories of good and bad times. It is well researched and works hard to present a fact based view of the activities of the time. ( ) As a Savage Garden fan, it's great to read a serious work about them-one chapter is devoted exclusively to them. Plus, it's a scholarly book and it isn't geared to the pre-teen/teen Tiger Beat-reading crowd. My only criticism is that although I'm a Darren Hayes fan, the book is somewhat biased towards Darren Hayes since Daniel Jones didn't contribute to this book post break-up. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
