Music documentaries from Australia and New Zealand:
This is part 1 of a 1988 documentary titled 'Brisbane Bands'.
This documentary focuses on the isolation and struggle many Brisbane punk bands had to endure in the face of conservative Brisbane during the 1970's.
Mark Callaghan (GANGgajang/The Riptides), Ed Kuepper (The Saints), Robert Forster (The Go-Betweens) and Ed Wreckage (The Leftovers) speak about growing up in Brisbane during the 1970's and forming bands.
Ed Kuepper reflects on the Saints' classic single '(I'm) Stranded' and the single's promo-video.

your all a pack of tossers! who cares where good music comes from! Just enjoy it.... these guys were genius of their era.... born of their culture (whatever that may be) ... doesnt matter!.... its great music. Shame most venues and independant record labels are gone! and bands dont have a chance! no support! keep listening, keep exploring! experience something new

You are a tosser. Having a few shitty hipster bands does not equal "culture". Drinking port in the park in the suburbs is alot more "exiting" and "vibrant" than going to clubs trying to look cool. You go to the CBD these days and its full of wankers trying to pretend they're in Sydney.

BRISBANE- hot climate, cool people!
Melbourne (I am from Melbourne) and Sydney try to outdo each other when they claim to be "International Cities".
Apparently only Melbourne and Sydney have "culture'!
The Bjelke Peterson era has long gone and Brisbane is now a very vibrant and exciting place!
Hopefully Brizzy based bands can make it big without having to move south!

Wild times for sure - its a pity we were so slack about documenting it - almost nothing from the mid-late '70s ie punk era - "task force" era. Great to see 1988 leftovers tho'.
