  • “Covering” the Bluesman from a Distance
    Introduction In many ways, my journey towards this thesis topic began with my brother’s music collection. Throughout my teens he would introduce me to a wide range of local and international acts, many of which were influenced by African-American blues artists. This influence is evident in both their construction of sound and the old songs that they rerecorded. From there I began tracing musical influences from song credits and interview excerpts—a path often travelled by musicians and fans alike—that would eventually lead me to an appreciation of blues music. The penultimate step towards this topic came in the form of my honours thesis—a creative project that involved rerecording several tracks from the catalogue of an early Australian country music artist, one of which was titled “Blue Mountain Blues”.1 From there I turned to blues music in Australia. Initially conceived as a history of “Australian blues”, it became apparent that this proposed sub-genre struggled to unify and explain the disparate musical styles contained therein. Although each artist was clearly addressing the musical characteristics and influences I had come to recognise as “blues music”, it all sounded different. In the meantime, I developed a keen interest in a fellow colleague’s thesis topic that addressed the role of “covers” within the Australian music industry (Giuffre, 2005). My epiphany—and catalyst for the current thesis topic—eventually presented itself while viewing a live performance from Peter Green Splinter Group. The concert was split into two courses: an acoustic entrée featuring several Robert Johnson “covers”; and, an electric main with side dishes of early Fleetwood Mac material—the band Green had help found many years ago.

  • Design Guideline for the Reintroduction of Wood Into Australian Streams
    Design guideline for the reintroduction of wood into Australian streams DR ANDREW P. BROOKS Acknowledgements This Guideline is dedicated to the memory of the late Edwin Smith on whose property many of these trial works were undertaken. Special thanks also to Naida Smith and the Woodward family for their ongoing support and access to their land. Much of the research on which these guidelines are based was done under LWA projects MQU9 and GRU27; and ARC Linkage Project LP0346918. This project would never have proceeded without the generous support of Allan Raine from the NSW Department of Natural Resources and Sharon Vernon from the then Hunter Catchment Management Trust who were instrumental in facilitating the adoption of this experimental program within their respective organisations. Special thanks to Rod Gleeson for much of the survey work, the Dungog Work Crew and Rob Argent for their efforts implementing the rehabilitation works. Thanks also to Brian Woodward, Matt Taylor and John Jansen for data collection and analysis; Brian Woodward for the 3D Autocad drawings; Dean Oliver for drafting many of the figures and to John Spencer for GIS analysis. Special thanks to Peter Gehrke for undertaking the initial fish survey work, and to Bob Creese for his support of Tim Howell in undertaking the subsequent monitoring. The project has benefited from the efforts of numerous field assistants over the years, in particular, the NSW Fisheries crew — Simon Hartley, Andrew Bruce, Tony Fowler, Debrah Ballagh, Michael Rodgers, Ian Wooden and Tom Rayner. Thanks also to Scott Babakaiffe and Chris Gippel for their input into the development of the study design.

He is currently working on a PhD GPO Box 2471 thesis about the fashion-oriented Australian sub- Adelaide, South Australia 5001 culture known as sharpies (1964–1980). He has Australia been a practising professional popular music and [email protected] culture journalist since 1993. Abstract Australian pub rock began in Melbourne in late 1969/early 1970 and became the nation’s most successful penetration into the international rock market and audiences. While commendable work has been written about Australia’s scene spaces (particularly Homan 2003; Stratton 2007), most remain Sydney-centric and typically overlook the equally (if not more) important Mel- bourne rock scene. In all cases the fermentative period of pub rock—and especially the com- bined roles played by its early audiences, musicians and venues—remains under-examined. This article will explore Australian pub rock’s beginnings through the lens of the career trajec- tory of Billy Thorpe & The Aztecs, and how that influenced, and was influenced by, the specific demands of Melbourne’s fluid audiences and venues leading up to the Oz rock era, using the key case studies of Mulgrave’s Village Green Hotel and Nunawadings’s Whitehorse Hotel. Keywords: Billy Thorpe & The Aztecs; Melbourne; Oz rock; pub rock; sharpies In the beginning… Oz rock was Australia’s hegemonic style of pub rock from the early 1970s to the mid-1980s and arguably the first distinctly Australian form of popular music.

  • Blues Bus Logo
    Blues Bus is ready to come and play their special version of urban inspired blues. Harking back to the Brit scene of the 60s then leaping onto some classic Jump and Swing ,this band pulls it all together , powerful guitar ,incisive harmonica and a rhythm section that anchors it down with a unrelenting swagger...Blues Bus bring in cameo performances to the mix including Chris “Darky” Wilson on Vocals and Keys. Its all a great treat and an easy to enjoy band. BLUES BUS Biography In 1992 the cream of Western Australia’s blues and rock talent gathered at the Beaconsfield Hotel, Fremantle, to honour the late Steve Hog, bass player for Ayres Rock and Bakery. From this, the Blues Bus was formed. The band featured some of the very best of WA’s blues musicians, including Lindsay Wells (Guitar & Vocals), Bob Patient (Dave Hole Band, Keyboards), Steve Cole (Vocals and Harp), Robert Thorne (Guitar and Vocals), Clayton Black (drums) and Scott Lawrence (Bass). Founder, Robert Thorne, reformed the band in Melbourne 1997 and then in Sydney from 2001. Now in 2018, the Blues Bus has arrived back again in Melbourne. Today the line up includes Bob Thorne on guitar /vocals, Roger Nelson on harp /vocals, John Manby on bass/vocals, Peter Hodges on drums, and Special Guest, Chris ”Darkie“ Wilson on keys /vocals. Bob Thorne Guitar and vocals Writer Robert Thorne has been a professional musician for over 35 years and has played lead guitar for some of Australia’s premier blues artists: Matt Taylor (Chain); Harper (USA & Oz Tour 2000); Blues Bus (Perth)…to name a few.

  • The Brisbane Sound
    THE BRISBANE SOUND Scott Bradley Regan BMus, BMus (Hons) DOCTORAL THESIS By CREATIVE WORKS Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Creative Industries Faculty Queensland University of Technology 2019 Abstract What is the Brisbane Sound, and what does it actually sound like? Many cities are said to have their own musical ‘sound’, for example, the Liverpool Sound (Cohen 1994), the Dunedin Sound (McLeay 1994; Mitchell 1996; Bannister 2006), and the Canterbury Sound (Bennett 2002). Brisbane, Australia is no different. Since the late 1970s, music journalists and other cultural intermediaries (Bourdieu 1984) have constructed the idea of a ‘Brisbane Sound’, and used it to consecrate a specific cohort of bands that emerged during the ‘five golden years’ of Brisbane music history, between 1978 and 1983. Yet, despite the cultural currency and prevalence of the trope in subcultural parlance, this so-called Brisbane Sound has remained entirely absent from existing scholarly literature about the local Brisbane music scene. This Doctoral Thesis by Creative Works aims to remedy this gap, and in doing so, contributes new knowledge to our understanding of Brisbane popular music history and cultural memory. It also proposes a novel way of addressing the perennial conundrum of music’s ineffability, by using music to explain music. I take an interdisciplinary approach to answer the question ‘what does the Brisbane Sound sound like?’ by adapting methods from three key fields: cultural studies, popular musicology, and creative practice. First, I collate and analyse how the Brisbane Sound trope has been defined in media discourses over time.
