Australian Rock Chronicles Series is a two-in one eBook that combines both my previously published books, Australian Rock Chronicles 1955-1964 and Australian Rock Chronicles 1964-1969. The books tell the story of how rock music in Australia evolved from its early troubled beginnings in 1955 to what it is today - readily accepted by society as a part of a thing called ‘pop culture’. They take the reader on a unique journey through what was two defining chapters in Australian music history. The first was a cultural phenomenon, the likes of which had never been repeated in Australia’s history. Read how the pioneers like Alan Dale and The Houserockers, Johnny O'Keefe and The Dee Jays, Col Joye and The Joy Boys, Johnny Rebb and His Rebels, Digby Richards and The R’Jays, The Delltones, Lucky Starr and Lonnie Lee from Sydney, The Thunderbirds and Johnny Chester from Melbourne and Johnny Devlin and The Devils from New Zealand took to centre stage and overcome the initial backlash and ensured that the transition to this new genre of popular music was a success; how Noeleen Batley, Beverley Dick, Judy Cannon and Betty McQuade paved the way for female artists; how the early Sixties stars like The Atlantics, The Denvermen, Bryan Davies, The Strangers and Little Pattie rode the wave to success. The second continues the journey through an era that encompassed what was one of the most vibrant and exciting live pop music scenes in the world. Often dubbed ‘The Scream Years’ of Australian pop music, it produced some of the classics of Australian pop rock music, highlighted by the international chart success of The Easybeats’ ‘Friday On My Mind’ in late 1966. It also saw the rise of new genres of rock music like psychedelic rock, acid rock, progressive rock and bubblegum rock spearheaded by artists like The Masters Apprentices, Jeff St. John and Copperwine, Tamum Shud, Chain, Tully, The Flying Circus, The Valentines and Zoot and at the same time, producing some of Australia’s finest male and female solo pop singers including Normie Rowe, Lynne Randell, Johnny Young, Bev Harrell, Ronnie Burns, Johnny Farnham and Russell Morris. Additionally, it also produced two of Australia’s most successful international acts, The Seekers and The Bee Gees.

Australian Rock Chronicles 1955-1964 retraces the evolution of Australian rock music during the first ten years or what is commonly referred to as the 'first wave’. The book tells the story of how rock music in Australia grew from its early troubled beginnings to what it is today - readily accepted by society as a part of a thing called ‘pop culture’. It is as much about the people – the artists, the promoters, the generation of teenagers who ensured its survival and the adults who tried in vain to quell the revolution – as it is about the music. It also touches briefly on the birth of rock ‘n’ roll, Australian music scene during and after World War II, American entrepreneur Lee Gordon’s arrival in Australian and his impact on the local entertainment business and the birth of the ‘teenager’. Read all about the artists from the early pioneers of Alan Dale, Johnny O’Keefe and Col Joye to the early Sixties stars like The Atlantics, The Denvermen, Little Pattie and Billy Thorpe and The Aztecs.

This is the sequel to my first book Australian Rock Chronicles 1955-1964 and delves into the next chapter of Australian rock music, the ‘second wave’ from 1964 to 1969. The ‘first wave’ of rock music was heavily influenced by American artists whereas British group The Beatles ushered in a whole new direction in popular music around the world in early 1964. Their ‘Merseybeat’ style of music revitalized the Australian live music scene, which changed irrevocably, and virtually overnight and without doubt, became one of the most vibrant and exciting in the world. Australians were switched-on early to their music, thanks in no small part to a nucleus of British immigrants. The ‘second wave’ consisted of two phases. The ‘beat boom’ between mid-1964 and 1967 was the first and was without doubt, one of the most vibrant and exciting live music scenes in the world and leading the charge of a whole new generation of local beat stars were Billy Thorpe and The Aztecs, Ray Brown and The Whispers, Tony Worsley and The Fabulous Blue Jays, The Easybeats, Normie Rowe and The Playboys and The Twilights, just to name a few. Dubbed ‘The Scream Years’ of Australian pop music, it produced some of the classics of Australian pop rock music, culminating in the international chart success of The Easybeats’ ‘Friday On My Mind’ in late 1966. Rhythm and blues or R&B and blues rock were also popular genres during the period with the likes of The Purple Hearts, The Missing Links, The Throb, Bay City Union and The Wild Cherries leading the way. During the second phase between 1967 and the start of the Seventies, popular music began to diversify with the rise of new genres of rock music like psychedelic rock, acid rock, progressive rock and bubblegum rock with artists like The Masters Apprentices, Jeff St. John and Copperwine, Tamum Shud, Chain, Tully, The Valentines, The Flying Circus and Zoot rose to prominence. The ‘second wave’ also produced some of Australia’s finest male and female solo pop singers including Normie Rowe, Lynne Randell, Johnny Young, Bev Harrell, Ronnie Burns, Johnny Farnham and Russell Morris. Additionally, it produced two of Australia’s most successful international acts, The Seekers and The Bee Gees.
