THE MONKEES
Rachel Lichtman and Andrew Sandoval take you inside the mysterious black box for an intimate look at the secrets and stories behind The Monkees' movie Head.
THE EASYBEATS
In the '60s many Australian rock 'n' roll stars came knocking on old Blighty's door looking for fame and fortune. Most found it too cold and unwelcoming, until THE EASYBEATS burst through in 1966 with an era-defining international hit. Were it not for a run of poor business decisions, management cock-ups, style conflicts and overwhelming bad luck, the band could have been one of the most successful Australian exports of all time. Instead, their time in London was a constant uphill struggle. JOHN TAIT looks at the evidence.
THE IVEYS
Forty years ago, Apple Records recording artists THE IVEYS changed their name to Badfinger and almost overnight became chart-topping powerpop pioneers. Stefan Granados revisits the Magic Christian Music album.
THE LIVERPOOL SCENE
A groundbreaking fusion of jazz, rock, R&B, poetry and performance, The Liverpool Scene were one of the truly unique bands to emerge from the incredible creative melting pot of the late '60s. Championed by John Peel, they toured with Led Zeppelin, played the legendary 1969 Isle Of Wight Festival and were given their own TV series. Guitarist ANDY ROBERTS talks with COLIN HALL and JEFF PENCZAK.
