Publisher's Synopsis
Aboriginal band, No Fixed Address appeared on the Australian rock circuit in the early 1980s. Playing a hybrid form of rock 'n' reggae that powered a set of songs about their experiences as young urban Aboriginals, their impact was immediate. Whites were stunned by the directness of their lyrics, while Indigenous people whispered, 'Can they say that?'This definitive biography charts the band's beginnings at the South Australian Centre for Aboriginal Studies in Music, through the making of the award-winning 1981 film Wrong Side of the Road to the challenges involved in being the first black band to crash their way into the lilywhite Oz rock scene.
