The stories are memories told through the eyes of the musicians themselves and other local music supporters. This film intends to acknowledge many of the much loved and well respected underground Adelaide bands from the late 70s to the present day. We pay tribute to the DIYers who's continuous efforts over the past 30 years to support, encourage and celebrate this particular music scene, has helped make it the rich and thriving scene it is today. Its about a generation of musicians who grew up in Adelaide South Australia and those people who embraced the "do it yourself" Attitude and were inspired as youths by the punk movement back in the late 70s. This punk DIY ethic was often the driving force behind many teens of the times throughout the world to want to start bands, set up public radio stations, record labels and their own music fanzines. Here in Adelaide after 30 years we meet some of these same people who are now in their 40s and 50s, and still playing in bands, volunteering at the public radio station and churning out their local music fanzines. The sheer longevity of the commitment and the efforts made by these people who are driven by their passion for local music has helped create the vibrant and rich scene it is today. It is those local legends that have created our music history. Written by Official Synopsis See less
