A comprehensive and highly readable history of the first quarter century of Australian rock and pop music, this book will will appeal to everyone with more than a passing interest in rock and roll. Those whose knowledge of Australian rock and pop does not extend far beyond the Easybeats, AC/DC, Little River Band, and Nick Cave will discover a wealth of music beyond those star names; while even those familiar with the work of the Missing Links, Pip Proud, Radio Birdman, and the Moodists will learn much about the scenes and connections that produced these bands and dozens more.
Generously illustrated and meticulously sourced, Dig combines scholarly thoroughness (endnotes, index) with populist flair: Nichols is an unfailingly witty and engaging guide. He surveys the fertile and varied landscape of Australian rock music in seven broad historical chapters, which he intersperses with shorter chapters on some of the more significant figures of each period. The result is a compelling portrait of a music scene that has evolved in dynamic interaction with those in the USA and the UK always retains a strong sense of its own identity, and keeps on throwing up new stars for an international audience.
