Art Rock Confidential: Melbourne, Sydney & Brisbane

Since the early days of punk rock, Australia has been home to musical experimentation. And the continent’s isolation has bred a closely knit music scene with a distinctly Australian vibe. Museyon Guide Mel Campbell traces the development of Australia’s singular brand of art rock from its Brisbane roots to its current-day epicenter, Melbourne. Journey Down Under for a tour of Australia’s independent record stores, rub elbows with musicians at the bar, and go to a festival with Nick Cave in the land where he got his start.
