When Billy Thorpe, the 'king' of Sunbury, slaughtered a tank full of defenceless fish at the Bondi Lifesaver, he wasn't just playing too loud. He was introducing a form of entertainment that would give Australia its strongest musical export ever...Pub Rock. Some tried explosives, some tried school uniforms, some tried make-up...whatever it took, as bands did battle in every pub across the nation. Pub rock took up where Sunbury left off. But this period also saw the emergence of the cult ABC TV show Countdown and a whole gaggle of colourful bands in tight pants. Ex-Easybeats George Young and Harry Vanda produced and wrote songs for Alberts, a melting pot for all kinds of music - Australia's Motown. From here emerged the defining sound of Australian rock, AC/DC. George Young and his little brothers Malcolm and Angus were beating out a rhythm that would soon shake the nations' fibro houses. Featured artists include AC/DC, Rose Tattoo, The Angels, Cold Chisel, Split Enz, Skyhoooks, Hush, Renee Geyer and John Paul Young.
