Nation-Building and Australian Popular Music
Pissed On Another Planet: The Perth Sound of the 1970s and 1980s In this chapter I want to discuss the specificity of the Perth sound as it developed in the 1970s and 1980s. In order to do this I need also to say something about the particularity of Perth as compared to other major Australian capital cities, most importantly Sydney and Melbourne. As I have discussed in chapter two, the development of the inner-city sound was dependent on the gradual formation in Australia, since around the mid-1960s, of a bohemian segment of the population, mostly middle class, that was outward-looking and cosmopolitan. Many of these people moved out of the suburbs and into the inner cities. Often this group was followed by a more conservative, but still cosmopolitan, element of the middle class which gentrified the inner city. Perth is frequently characterised as the most isolated state capital in Australia. Adelaide, which is smaller than Perth, is the closest city at 2,712 kilometres distant. Melbourne is 3,438 kilometres away and Sydney 4,127 kilometres. Perth is two hours behind Melbourne and Sydney which means that, even with a networked, standardised television system across much of Australia, a system not present in the 1970s, Perth still gets even many ‘live’ broadcasts pre-recorded. In the 1970s, before email and the internet, before satellite and cable technologies improved remote communication for television and radio, before airbuses and wide-bodied jets brought down the cost of air-travel, Perth was culturally a much more remote place than it had become by the 1990s.

Punk Rock and Western Australia's Sesquicentenary Celebrations
School of Media, Culture and Creative Arts New Frequencies From Planet Perth: Punk Rock And Western Australia’s Sesquicentenary Celebrations Julian G. Tompkin This thesis is presented for the Degree of Master of Creative Arts (Media Arts) of Curtin University October 2012 ! Abstract Dislocated by both land and sea, Perth’s punk scene would nonetheless play a pivotal role in the development and global dissemination of punk rock in the 1970s. Although lasting less than two years, the West Australian punk scene would not only tackle the prevailing symbols of ennui and apathy in the State, but also empower the next generation of “alternative” musicians to up the ante – with significant cultural ramifications for WA. Set against the traditionalist context of Western Australia’s 150th anniversary celebrations in 1979, “New Frequencies From Planet Perth: Punk Rock and Western Australia’s Sesquicentenary Celebrations” readdresses the birth of WA’s alternative music scene in charting the ascent of the local punk counterculture from 1976 and its uneasy relationship with the State’s mainstream cultural identity, as well as the genre’s integral place in the global punk movement and its lasting cultural legacy in Western Australia. “New Frequencies From Planet Perth: Punk Rock and Western Australia’s Sesquicentenary Celebrations” includes revealing firsthand interviews with the punk scene’s chief protagonists, including Kim Salmon, James Baker, Dave Faulkner, Ross Buncle and Ray Purvis. The study is composed in two parts – one critical and one creative. The critical exegesis examines the global ascent of the punk counterculture, aggregating existing critical theory, firsthand interviews and popular media in identifying the significance of “place” and “narrativisation” in the musical discipline.
