Pig City: From The Saints to Savage Garden

By Andrew Stafford

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. Persecuted by 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. Since its first publication in 2004, Pig City has become a much-loved cult classic, providing an enduring soundtrack and history lesson for a new generation of fans and musicians alike. This edition includes a special Pig City playlist- https-//open.spotify.com/playlist/69tpZDJeRiVzILIJb1i2P4?si=3ba7249d08074b2e
