(When The Sun Sets Over) Carlton
‘(When the Sun Sets Over) Carlton: Melbourne’s Countercultural Inner City Rock Scene of the ‘70s’ is the first and last word on a never-before examined and too long-forgotten scene that had a huge cultural impact on ‘70s Australia and which rivalled the great international underground rock and art scenes of the day.
The deluxe 2CD set documents the arts and politics-infused rock scene that gave Melbourne and Australia such multi-faceted cultural icons as Paul Kelly, Joe Camilleri, Stephen Cummings, Jane Clifton, Peter Lillie, Ross Wilson, Ross Hannaford, Greg Macainsh, Red Symons and Shirley Strachan, as well asauthor Helen Garner and media identity H.G.Nelson, and future members of the Divinyls and Hoodoo Gurus (Rick Grossman),Flowers and Icehouse (John Lloyd and Robert Kretschmer) and Crowded House (Nick Seymour).Taking its title from the famous song by the scene’s best known band Skyhooks, the album traces the countercultural scene’s development from its beginnings in venues like the TF Much Ballroom and Carlton’s La Mama and Pram Factory theatres through Skyhooks breakout success to the thriving pub scene found in legendary venues like Martinis and the Tiger Lounge. It presents also a glimpse of the birth of Melbourne’s hugely influential 3RRR-FM, which was born out of this scene.
Enter your details for your chance to win one of three copies of this monumental double CD. Competition closes at midday on Friday October 24.
