Pig City PDF
by Andrew Stafford
Description
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 enforcers-the police-Brisbane'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.
