  • The Perth Sound in the 1960S—
    (This is a combined version of two articles: ‘‘Do You Want To Know A Secret?’: Popular Music in Perth in the Early 1960s’ online in Illumina: An Academic Journal for Performance, Visual Arts, Communication & Interactive Multimedia, 2007, available at: http://illumina.scca.ecu.edu.au/data/tmp/stratton%20j%20%20illumina%20p roof%20final.pdf and ‘Brian Poole and the Tremeloes or the Yardbirds: Comparing Popular Music in Perth and Adelaide in the Early 1960s’ in Perfect Beat: The Pacific Journal for Research into Contemporary Music and Popular Culture, vol 9, no 1, 2008, pp. 60-77). Brian Poole and the Tremeloes or the Yardbirds: Comparing Popular Music in Perth and Adelaide in the Early 1960s In this article I want to think about the differences in the popular music preferred in Perth and Adelaide in the early 1960s—that is, the years before and after the Beatles’ tour of Australia and New Zealand, in June 1964. The Beatles played in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Adelaide but not in Perth. In spite of this, the Beatles’ songs were just as popular in Perth as in the other major cities. Through late 1963 and 1964 ‘I Want to Hold Your Hand,’ ‘I Saw Her Standing There,’ ‘Roll Over Beethoven’ and the ‘All My Loving’ EP all reached the number one position in the Perth chart as they did nationally.1 In this article, though, I am not so much interested in the Beatles per se but rather in their indexical signalling of a transformation in popular music tastes. As Lawrence Zion writes in an important and surprisingly neglected article on ‘The impact of the Beatles on pop music in Australia: 1963-1966:’ ‘For young Australians in the early 1960s America was the icon of pop music and fashion.’2 One of the reasons Zion gives for this is the series of Big Shows put on by American entrepreneur Lee Gordon through the second half of the 1950s.

  • Popular Culture Popular Culture Includes a Wide Range of Activities That a Large Number of People in a Society Engage In
    [ only] Unit 3 The globalising world (1945–the present) Popular culture Popular culture includes a wide range of activities that a large number of people in a society engage in. Since World War II, Australia has developed strong industries in four key areas of popular culture: music, film, television and sport. Television and rock’n’roll music both arrived in 1956 and have had a strong influence on all groups within Australian society – this continues today. Sport has retained an important role in Australian life and has become closely tied to our sense of identity. The Australian film industry has also emerged to tell uniquely Australian stories that entertain and inform. While British, American and, more recently, European and Asian cultures have influenced us, Australia has developed its own distinct culture. Music, film, television and sport have not only become ways of reflecting who we are, but have also enabled Australia to engage with the rest of the world. chapter Source 1 ‘Hello possums’ – one of Australia’s many contributions to international popular13 culture is Barrie Humphries as Dame Edna Everage. 13A 13B 13C How did developments in How have the music, filmDRAFT and What contributions has popular culture influence Australia television industries in Australia Australia made to international Insert obook assess logo: after World War II? changed since World War II? popular culture?
