From cult heroes the Saints and the Go-Betweens to national icons Powderfinger and international stars Savage Garden; Brisbane has produced more than its share of great bands. But behind the music lay a ghost city of malice and corruption. Pressed under the thumb of the Bjelke-Petersen government and its toughest enforcersmdash;the policemdash;Brisbanersquo;s musicians; radio announcers; and political activists braved ignorance; harassment and often violence to be heard. This updated; 10th anniversary edition features a scathing new introduction by the author; assessing the changing shape of Brisbane; its music; and troubling developments since the return of the state of Queensland to conservative governance.
