  • THE ALLNITERS Will Always Be Remembered for Their Big Sound, Cracking Tunes and Eccentric Exuberance
    THE ALLNITERS will always be remembered for their big sound, cracking tunes and eccentric exuberance. Mischievous and a little bit cheeky, they’re the most successful ska act in Australian history and they’re back: bigger, bolder and brassier than ever after over 30 years, proving once and for all that THE ALLNITERS are Allriters … and evidently ska’d for life. It all began back in 1980 when a group of eight lads and one rude girl gravitated towards charismatic founding member Marty Fabok as the inner-city mod scene was percolating. They nattered, laughed and riffled through their favourite reggae, blues; disco, Jamaican blue beat and rock steady vinyl collections. Jaunty brass and tight rhythm sections were forged and THE ALLNITERS had officially arrived, donning their porkpie hats, braces and Doc Martens and chomping at the bit to burn up the live circuit with upbeat rhythms, walking bass-lines and contagious jocularity. The band cut its teeth as a live act at Sydney’s legendary Sussex Hotel and went on to become one of the hardest touring acts in the country. Attendance records were broken, as were stages, with audience members sometimes storming the stage to out-number the band, egged on by those spilling out the doors, thus threatening structural collapse. Regardless, THE ALLNITERS never failed to amuse, with hysterical, quick-witted onstage banter between vocalists Peter Travis and Brett Pattinson rivaling that of The Two Ronnie’s. The band rapidly became as renowned for their energetic sense of playfulness as for their larger than life new wave sound.

  • The Loved Ones (2009)
    Screen Sound n3, 2012 ALL MASHED UP? Songs, Music and Allusionism in The Loved Ones (2009) Philip Hayward Abstract This article considers Australian director Sean Byrne’s 2009 horror/comedy feature film The Loved Ones with particular regard to its uses of allusionism within a popular genre context.1 Within this focus, the article explores the various musical components of the soundtrack (including critical use of specific songs), the creative template determined by the director and the creative input and decision making of various members of the production team. In this manner, the article profiles the film’s audio-visual text, the perceptions and motivations of the production team and considers how these relate to the film’s reception and box-office performance. Keywords The Loved Ones, allusionism, film songs, soundtrack, Australian film Allusionism — An Introduction Back in 1982 the film theorist Noel Carroll considered and, it is not unfair to say, fretted over, the prevalence of allusionism in a range of popular films. Carroll’s critical persona and aesthetic approach drew on two strands: the auteur school of film criticism that attempted to identify distinguished creative authors working within the (supposedly largely undistinguished) mainstream film industry; and a parallel interest in and commitment to the modernism of the western cinematic avant-garde. His anxiety over allusionism in popular cinema arose from a position that considered that, while classic auteur cinema and (successful) modernist works could be identified to have allusionism skillfully woven into the fabric of their texts (and, more broadly, into their author’s aesthetic visions), a range of popular cultural texts seemed increasingly inclined to simply display their allusionism without any deep or thematically significant intent.

  • The Future Is in the Flesh, Article by Clinton Walker, Roadrunner, 1979.Pdf
    The Future is in the Flesh Article by Clinton Walker - Roadrunner, 1979 As the echoes of the punk rock explosion fade into eternity a number of post-punk musical movements have emerged. One of the prominent of these is the electronic rock movement which rather than trying to incorporate the synthesiser into a conventional rock format is trying to create its own musical format. In this special report, Clinton Walker traces the development of electronic rock from its beginnings with the likes of Eno, Kraftwerk and the Residents through to the present rash of synthesiser bands in the U.K., the U.S.A. and, yes folks, Australia. In fact, the little publicised Australian electronic music movement is one of the liveliest in the world. Could THIS be the future of rock'n'roll? Plug yourself in, open your memory banks and let's find out, eh? I suppose Brian James really thought he’d hit the nail on the head when he formed the quasi-psychedelic outfit, Tanz Der Youth, after splitting The Damned. Clearly he had interpreted rock’n’roll’s development as moving in a circle and, accepting the punk wave as parallel to Beatlemania and the surrounding Pop Explosion of the early ‘60s, obviously the next step (after the Death of Punk) was going to be some kind of movement that equally paralleled the psychedelia that bloomed in the later 60s. This hypothesis James put into practice (via Tanz Der Youth). Apart from the fact that any rock’n'roll so calculated simply could not (artistically) succeed.

Before starting, I want to say I was really fortunate to be able to work with Philip on this book. [Jeff Apter holds up a coffee table book] [JEFF APTER] And it was one of the more interesting exercises, wasn't it? Because we were given a directive to come up with... Was it 200 photos? ..for this book. [PHILIP MORRIS] That's right. [JEFF APTER] And Philip's archive is so fantastic and so rich, that I think we got it down to, what, 600? [PHILIP MORRIS] Yeah. [Audience laughs] [JEFF APTER] Was it 600 to start with? It was something like that. And it's staggering, really. It's a really great document of Australian rock history at a really interesting turning point. So to get it down to this... It's begging for a second edition, by the way. There's so many great photos. So it was a real honour to be able to... to do that. It was a lot of fun. [PHILIP MORRIS] Yeah, it was. [JEFF APTER] We actually had built into our contract...

  • The Melbourne Punk Scene in Australia's Independent Music History
    ANZCA09 Communication, Creativity and Global Citizenship. Brisbane, July 2009 The Melbourne Punk Scene in Australia’s Independent Music History Morgan Langdon La Trobe University [email protected] Morgan Langdon completed her Honours in Media Studies at La Trobe University. This paper is an excerpt from her thesis on the history of independent music culture in Melbourne. She plans to begin her PhD in 2010. Abstract The existence of independent music communities and culture within Australia’s major cities today is largely attributed to the introduction of punk in the late 1970s. Among the inner city youth, a tiny subculture emerged around this sprawling, haphazard style of music that was quickly dismissed by the major players in the Australian music industry as bereft of commercial possibilities. Left to its own devices, punk was forced to rely solely on the strength of the independent music network to release some of the most original music of the era and lay the foundations for a celebrated musical culture. This paper examines the factors that contributed to and influenced the early Australian punk scenes, focusing in particular on Melbourne between 1975 and 1981. It shows that the emergence and characteristics of independent music communities within individual cities can be attributed to the existence of certain factors and institutions, both external and internal to the city. Keywords Australian music history, subculture, punk, independent music. Introduction In 1986, the Australian Broadcasting Tribunal published the results of an inquiry into the importance of the broadcasting quota for local music content. Throughout this inquiry, investigations are made into the existence of a distinctly Australian “sound”.

  • Making It in the Melbourne Music Scene Post-Punk and Post-Post-Punk
    Making it in the Melbourne Music Scene Post-Punk and Post-Post-Punk Dr Sarah Taylor School of Science RMIT University Victoria, Australia [email protected] This paper uses contemporary documentation, interviews and maps to highlight the different types of music careers, and modes of “making it”, seen in the 1986 feature film Dogs in Space. The film concerns a fictional band of the same name, based on The Ears, a minor group active in the Melbourne band scene between 1979-1981. INXS’s Michael Hutchence plays Sam, the singer in post punk group Dogs in Space. The contrast between Hutchence and Sejavka was seen as remarkable: a major-league rock star, having “made it” by the time of the film’s production, portraying a relatively obscure post-punk musician. However, the trajectories of these bands did overlap in time and place. An historical geographical analysis of INXS and The Ears can help to add context to the Melbourne music scene depicted in the film, as well as to the later cult status popularity of the film, made during a transitional time between norms in the Australian music industry. Keywords — Music industry; post punk; Melbourne; INXS; The Ears; Dogs In Space; restructuring. INTRODUCTION I was far more interested in doing, instead of your rags-to-riches pop star story, your rags-to-gutter story... by actually showing the ones that don’t become famous. — Richard Lowenstein, director of Dogs in Space (quoted in Coupe, 1986) At the time of its release in late 1986, Dogs in Space provided a compelling contrast between the heights of music industry success enjoyed by one of its stars, Michel Hutchence, and the exciting but imploding music movement it depicted (Smith, 1986, McGregor, 1986, Coupe, 1986).
