The dangerisation of drill music in Western Sydney
The Cambridge Companion to Music in Australia
As a companion to 'music in Australia', rather than 'Australian music', this book acknowledges the complexity and contestation inherent in the term 'Australia', whilst placing the music of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people at its very heart. This companion emphasizes a diversity of musical experiences in the breadth of musical practice that flows though Australia, including Indigenous song, art music, children's music, jazz, country, p…

The criminalisation of hip-hop artists is not new. The focus of attention for police has tended to be on artists of colour (in particular) who include descriptions of violence in their lyrics. The sprawling multicultural western suburbs of Sydney Australia have become a fertile breeding-ground for a wave of drill rap artists, some of whom explore violent themes. This dynamic scene was kicked off by Pacifica group ONEFOUR. Popular internationally,…
Historical silences, musical noise
Much Australian history has argued that Australian culture and academic writing were largely silent on the issue of Aboriginal history prior to 1968. Further, there has been a common argument—and assumption—that non-Indigenous country music did not deal with Indigenous Australians in this period at all. However, Australia’s most popular recording artist, the country singer-songwriter, Slim Dusty, did in fact record several songs that dealt with i…

Dougie Young and political resistance in early Aboriginal country music
Country music has a reputation for being the music of the American white working-class South and being closely aligned with conservative politics. However, country music has also been played by non-white minorities and has been a vivid way of expressing progressive political views. In the hands of the Indigenous peoples of Australia, country music has often given voice to a form of life-writing that critiques colonial power. The songs of Dougie Y…
The Voice and its Doubles
Last year I presented a seminar on Aboriginal country music at an English university. During the discussion, a colleague commented that surely Aboriginal country music was tragic evidence that the
Socialist paradise’ or ‘inhospitable island’? Visitor responses to Palm Island in the 1920s and 1930s
Tourists visiting Queensland's Palm Island in the 1920s and 1930s followed a well-beaten path. They were ferried there in a launch, either from a larger passenger ship moored in deeper water, or from Townsville on the mainland. Having made it to the shallows, tourists would be carried 'pick a back' by a 'native' onto a 'palm-shaded' beach. Once on the grassy plains that stood back from the beach, they would be treated to performances such as corr…
The Sins of the Son
Masculine sentimentality played an important role in Australian culture in the 1930s and 1940s, as in other places where plaintive country music songs attracted a passionate following. Using 'Australia's Singing Cowboy' Tex Morton as a case study, we show that this sentimentality became part of both the bush tradition and country music in Depression- and Second World War-era Australia, associated with the bushworker or rugged 'lone hand'. This se…
Country Music Capital
Contemporary Australian country music is marked by a fascination with the past — both its own and the nation’s. This paper will examine how that fascination grew with the construction of the NSW regional town of Tamworth as ‘Country Music Capital’ from 1973 to 2010. It will argue that the city — and by extension country music culture — began to see itself as the repository of an authentic Australian rural culture. In particular, Tamworth has soug…
