The Livin’ End: Reprints of the late Dean Mittelhauser’s amazing and much quoted Australian 60s rock fanzine are  available from Moonlight Publishing at P.O. Box 5, Golden Square, Victoria, 3555, Australia. Essential reading for anyone interested in the sounds and subject.

The Who’s Who Of Australian Rock: Also available from Moonlight Publishing is the last word on the lineups and releases from almost every Australian band who ever put out a record or CD.

Ugly Things: A US magazine that specialises in “wild sounds from past dimensions” Ugly Things regularly covers punk and garage music from across the globe. Contact them at uglythings@znet.com

Miles Ago: Located at www.milesago.com this website features in depth biographies and regular news on a variety of Australian sounds from the 1960s and 70s.

Garage Compilation site: The online version of Menachem Turchick’s Searchin’ for Shakes database lists underground garage punk and R&B bands and the compilations they appear on. www.soybomb.com/garage-comps

Dreams, Fantasies and Nightmares: Much work has gone into this detailed discography of Australian psychedelic and garage bands. It can be viewed on-line at www.borderlinebooks.com/australia

Encyclopedia Of Australian Rock and Pop: Published by Allen and Unwin and written by Ian McFarlane this volume covers a number of key Australian bands that have emerged since the 1950s.

His Master’s Voice: One of the reasons (other than their already existing high profile) that we didn’t include seminal Australian rock band The Masters Apprentices in this volume was the fact that Keay’s had already ably chronicled the band’s rise and fall in his own autobiography. Give bassist Glenn Wheatley’s bio a wide berth and pick this one up through Allen and Unwin.

Sex and Thugs and Rock n Roll: Billy Thorpe’s  MacMillan bestseller is an entertaining pulp take on Kings Cross and the Sydney band scene of the mid 1960s. Pan’s follow up Most People I Know Think That I’m Crazy is a bit yarn-ish at times, but does a similar job for the 70s.

Collected Stories On Australian Rock n Roll: David McLean brings together tales from such 1950s and 60s acts as The Atlantics and The Denvermen. Available from Canetoad Records at P.O. Box 1039, Potts Point, NSW, 2011, Australia.
