Descripción del artículo del vendedor
Paperback. The ultimate music fan's bible packed with insight into the world of rock 'n' rollOff the Record brings together the best interviews and articles from Australia's music street press, about bands on the cusp of greatness to megastars at the height of their powers - all imbued with a cool street-press indie sensibility. Many pieces come from Time Off, a magazine established in 1979 and the first free music/entertainment weekly in Australia.Far from regurgitating industry marketing copy, music street press has a fiercely independent and wry voice. Off the Record reflects this, offering a unique insight into recent music history- Powderfinger return from their first-ever Sydney shows, Nick Cave name-checks his literary heroes, and Neil Finn worries that Crowded House's new album might be a little too dark, while elsewhere Kurt Cobain dives into Dave Grohl's drum kit (and sprains his wrist in the process). Australian bands, from the Saints to the Grates and the Hilltop Hoods, are featured, but the international focus is strong too, from the Rolling Stones and Sonic Youth to Oasis and the White Stripes.This is the must-have indie book about all things music. Established in 1979, Time Off was the first free music/ entertainment weekly in Australia. Here are some of the best interviews and articles from the magazine's first thirty years - from bands on the cusp of greatness to megastars at the height of their powers. Time Off had a fiercely independent and wry voice. Off the Record reflects this. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.…

Bringing together the best writings from Australia's street press, this collection pays homage to the last 25 years of rock 'n' roll. Many of the pieces included come from the pages of Time Off, the first free music weekly in Australia, which began in 1979 and is still going strong today. Maintaining a fiercely independent tone, this book is loaded with fresh insights into artists such as Powderfinger, Nick Cave, the Arctic Monkeys, and Crowded House. Readers will be entertained with obscure and often comic anecdotes, like the time when Kurt Cobain sprained his wrist diving into Dave Grohl's drum kit. With more than 80 interviews included, this volume features both Australian and international acts, from megastars to fledgling bands on the cusp of greatness, as it charts the evolution of rock music in Australia.
