A who’s who of Melbournes underground music scene. Rowland S. Howard, the Primitive Calculators, Ollie Olsen, Phillip Brophy and many others proffer their recollections and air their animosities in a tribute to those seminal times. The Crystal Ballroom, the Little Bands, the Boys Next Door, drugs, fashion, sharehousing and a previously unseen interviews with Michael Hutchence.

my parents were frequent attendees at the Tiger Lounge and the Crystal Ballroom. They knew the ’stars’ of the scene and supplied/used junk with many of them. They are now the ‘good corporate workers’ – conservative and tight lipped about this period. I can’t get them to watch this documentary and they refuse to have Rowland S. Howard, B-day Party and Nick Cave, played at hearing level. If it wasn’t for this documentary, I wouldn’t have what found out my parents looked like in 1979/80. Thanx
