Fifty years of bands that nobody gave permission to, from the Saints to the kids hiring halls this winter. The review, the record, and the open call. Document, distribute, demonstrate.
NewDeadtrigger's first gig in eight months turned a wet patch of skatepark concrete into the scene's Maine Road. Punk in the Park, Thornlands. The rain blew the amps, the lights went off, and the whole show ran on one working speaker.
Read the review →Fifty years of the Brisbane all-ages scene, 1950 to 2026, told the way it actually happened. Revised and expanded from the 2024 edition. Part 1, Stranded In Pig City, leads the drop.
Enter the history →The history is missing your bits, on purpose. A gig, a band, a hall, one perfect or cursed night. No detail too small. The best of it gets folded into the edition as it's built, credited the way you ask.
Hand it in →The record behind the record. Every claim traced, and memory marked as memory.
See the sources →The zine which says the shit people are too afraid to say. What Breakbone is, and where to find it.
Who we are →The flyers, the photos, the next gig. Follow the drop as it happens.
Follow →A couple of people can't hold a whole scene's memory between them. The bits nobody saw are the bits somebody lived. It takes about five minutes, and you don't have to be anyone.
