Synopsis
'Dogs In Space' director, Richard Lowenstein has gathered a who’s who of Melbourne’s underground music scene, some glorious archival material and woven them into a remarkable retro romp. With candor and wit, Rowland S Howard, the Primitive Calculators, Ollie Olsen, Phillip Brophy and many others proffer their recollections and air their animosities in a tribute to those seminal times. The Crystal Ballroom, the little bands, the Boys Next Door, drugs, fashion, sharehousing and a previously unseen interview with Michael Hutchence. All this and the making of an Australian cult classic.
