Punk, passion, politics and public protest collide in PERSECUTION BLUES: THE BATTLE FOR THE TOTE, an exploration of the rich musical history of Melbourne and the overwhelming public outcry ignited by news of the imminent closure of one of its most renowned and beloved rock and roll venues. In 2010, the iconic Tote Hotel - last bastion of Melbourne's vibrant music counterculture - was forced to close due to rigorous liquor licensing laws. Filmed over 7 years, PERSECUTION BLUES: THE BATTLE FOR THE TOTE puts the audience on the front line of an epic-scale culture war, depicting the plight of more than 20,000 punters - along with the bands who inspire them - as they strive to preserve their history and protect the future of live music. Featuring music from The Drones, Spiderbait, Magic Dirt, Eddy Current Suppression Ring, Dave Graney and many more! Over 90 minutes of never-before-seen footage, including: Exclusive interviews and live performances. Q & A with the director, Bruce Milne and the SLAM team. A Brief and Unfinished History of The Tote.

$33.99 (AUD) | Cut Shorts: Short Films Of David Markey 1974 - 2004 $35.99 (AUD) | Across the Great Divide Tour (3 DVD) $40.99 (AUD) Triple DVD documenting "the tour of the decade". The first two discs of the Across the Great Divide Tour DVD feature full length live sets from both bands, including the duet ‘Substitute’, recorded at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne on 18 and 19 September, 2007. | $24.99 (AUD) Jim Keays really requires no introduction. His band Masters Apprentices were one of this countries most successful rock acts in the 70's with such hits as 'Turn Up Your Radio' & 'Because I Love You'. They were inducted into the ARIA Hall Of Fame in 1998. There's no precedent in this country for someone of Jim Keays' vintage (65) to be making a 'garage' record, a raw, intense rock and roll album while many other artists are busy making their acoustic / jazz / blues / country / blah blah / introspective / retrospective / whatever albums and turning their backs on what made them unique, vital and popular in the first place. Not that there's anything wrong with any of that (hell, Jim has even made an acoustic album for goodness' sake!), but it is a little surprising that an album like Dirty, Dirty has not been made before. Teaming up with Davey Lane on guitar (You Am I/Pictures) with his good friend Brett Wolfenden (The Pictures, Rushcutter) for drumming duties and the producer of this alb |
