  • THE ROCK and ROLL DIARY of a JAZZ FAN by John Clare ______
    WITNESSES OF THE THIRD COMING: THE ROCK AND ROLL DIARY OF A JAZZ FAN by John Clare _______________________________________________________ [This article appeared in the first edition of the magazine Extempore, November, 2008, where Miriam Zolin was managing editor.] 1. Antebellum Here is some contrary motion. Before rock and roll became rock—before the advent of the intellectual rock writer—this was the music of working class youth. It was soon the universal teenage music, as swing had been the universal youth music in another era; but it had that rebel cachet, and of course it carne directly from black and hillbilly minorities. Barely in advance of the rock and roll era, my family moved from Sydney to a company house in a leafy Essendon street replete with box hedges, and we became middle class overnight. My father, after much hard post war grind, had been sent to manage a cardboard carton factory in North Melbourne. John Clare: No sooner did his family become middle class, after a move to Melbourne, than he became a juvenile delinquent… I never really adjusted to this southward but upward movement. No sooner did we become middle class than I became a juvenile delinquent. By 1955 I had run away from home, stolen three cars in a hungry race to places where there might be work—unlikely as it was that a 14-year-old appearing down the road from nowhere would be employed—and finally rolled an FJ Holden ute down a hillside near Queenbeyan, where I went to jail, awaiting the juvenile court. 1 This shook me up, and I was desperate to atone for the distress visited on my parents.

  • 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.

  • 'All Rock and Rhythm and Jazz': Rock'n'roll Origin Stories and Race In
    (A shorter version of this article, with the same title, appeared in Continuum: Journal of Media and Cultural Studies , vol 21, no 3, 2007, pp. 379-392) ‘All Rock and Rhythm and Jazz’ : Rock’n’Roll Origin Stories and Race in Australia They had a high-fi phono Boy, did they let it blast 700 little records All rock and rhythm and jazz (Chuck Berry ‘C’est La Vie (You Never Can Tell)’ (1964)) Rock’n’Roll Stories Where did rock’n’roll come from? The Australian narrative was, and to some extent still is, that rock’n’roll was the debased progeny of jazz, as was rhythm and blues to the extent that Australians made a generic distinction. This answer suggests two further questions. First, how do Australians think about jazz? Second, what were the conditions that enabled jazz to occupy such a central position in Australian popular music that the next major, popular music form could be narrativised as having a heritage in jazz? These questions need to be set into a more general, overarching question: how did Australia’s attitudes towards race affect people’s understandings of jazz and of rock’n’roll? The difficulty in writing about the discursive connections between what is constructed as ‘jazz’ in and as ‘rock’n’roll’ in Australia is that here, as elsewhere, and most importantly in the United States, the critical discourses relating to jazz and rock’n’roll are divergent in significant ways. As Matt Brennan writes: ‘In the first half of the twentieth century, conservative critics notoriously dismissed jazz on the grounds that it was primitive, vulgar and achieved popularity by appealing to the lowest common denominator of public taste.’ Behind the claims was a racial argument: white critics attacking an African-American musical form and, by implication, African-Americans.

  • Yours Jerry Lee Lewis.Pdf
    ROCKIN’ AT THE CITY HALL, HOBART 1959 - 1960 **** 23 January 2018 March 1959. The Big Show- the Lee Gordon Big Show, at the City Hall. Other teenagers were crowding the entrance, most arriving by the green and yellow Metropolitan trams and buses, or walking. Some parents dropped their teenagers off. Boys smelling of ‘Brylcream’ and ‘California Poppy’, hair slicked back. My school mate Dave Wilson and I are wearing our suits and ties which we wore to Hobart High School that day so we could go to the concert well-dressed. We line up for tickets, two middle class 14 year olds with stars in our eyes. We’re going to the early evening show at 6.15pm. In through the doors. A moment in time - in our town, our own place. Over there was The Mainland – Melbourne - Sydney- that’s was where ships went - an epic journey away. Somewhere there was Memphis, Tennessee. During the day, the crinkly-haired State Premier, Eric Reece, gave a reception for the first Big Show stars, the first performance of their Australian tour with Mr Reece, Johnny O’Keefe and Frankie Avalon in suits and ties. I was enthralled with entertainers ever since my Aunt & Uncle had taken me, aged 9, to see a relative play the organ for the Follies at the Theatre Royal, Hobart. It was Vaudeville – a variety show, with Max & Stella Reddy, comedians, magicians, jugglers. Afterwards we met Uncle Geoff Robertson and some of the performers. I later heard Australian country singers, the LeGarde Twins and Smoky Dawson in their tent shows at the Hobart Regatta, The music, mostly from the USA shook my life in suburban Hobart, as much as any other city in the world, spread by radio stations with Top Ten and Top 40s.

  • Doyle, Peter. Signs and Wonders [Online]. Meanjin, Vol. 65, No. 3
    [ESSAY] SIGNS AND WONDERS PETER DOYLE REFLECTS ON THE PORTENT-FILLED TOUR OF LITTLE RICHARD IN AUSTRALIA DURING 19S7 'I had never been so far on a plane before. It worked on my mind.' —Little Richard Penniman, speaking in 1984 of his 1957 Australian tour IN late September 1957 Little Richard, Gene Vincent, Eddie Cochran and a now forgotten female singer named Alis Leslie, along with their various backing bands, touched down in a Pan-Am Constellation at Sydney airport. They were accom­ panied by two of the hardest-playing, hardest-living groups of musicians in the business—Richard by his road band the Upsetters, Vincent by the Blue Caps. The ragtag bunch of pompadour-sporting, tiger-stripe-jacket, black-jeans-and-satin pants-wearing delinquent lookalikes were scheduled to perform an extended circuit of stadium shows around Australia for high-flying promoter Lee Gordon. It was the height of the rock'n'roll craze. Rock'n'roll wasn't the biggest news that week, however. A few days earlier the Soviets had launched Sputnik 1 from a remote cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, comprehensively trumping the USA in the space race, and edging forwards in the Cold War. 'Satellite' became an instant buzzword, and its sinister, hyper-modern [15]' PETER DOYLE shape—like a Second World War ocean mine with antennae—became a trade­ mark of the decade. Even the most dispassionate commentators in the West were freaked by the launch of Sputnik. To people of already overheated fundamental­ ist religious conviction, the new light in the sky was a clear and unmistakable sign of the imminent end of worldly existence.

  • A History of the Early Days of Rock 'N' Roll in Brisbane . . . As Told by Some
    A history of the early days of rock ‘n’ roll in Brisbane . as told by some of the people who were there. Geoffrey Walden B. Ed., M. Ed. (Research) Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy to the School of Cultural and Language Studies in Education, Faculty of Education Queensland University of Technology January 2003. Abstract The music history that is generally presented to students in Queensland secondary schools as the history of music is underpinned by traditions associated with the social and cultural elite of colonialist Europe. On the other hand, contemporary popular music is the style with which most in this community identify and its mass consumption by teenagers in Brisbane was heralded with the arrival of rock ‘n’ roll in the mid-1950s. This project proposes that the involvement of the music education system in, and the application of digital technology to, the collection and storage of musical memories and memorabilia with historical potential is an important first step on the journey to a music history that is built on the democratic principles of twenty-first century, culturally and socially diverse Australia rather than on the autocratic principles of colonialist Europe. In taking a first step, this project focused on collecting memories and memorabilia from people who were involved in an aspect of the coming of rock ‘n’ roll to Brisbane. Memories were collected in the form of recorded conversations and these recordings, along with other audio and visual material were transferred to digital format for distribution. As an oral history focusing its attention on those who were involved with the coming of rock ‘n’ roll to Brisbane in the mid to late 1950s and the early 1960s, this project is intended as a starting point for that journey.
