Rock & Roll Pioneers
Jive, Twist and Stomp is a backstage pass into the lives and times of Western Australia's pioneers of popular music. From Bon Scott's The Spektors to Johnny Young's Johnny and the Strangers, this is the A to Z of WA's bands and venues of the 50s and 60s. So dust off your records, put on your dancing shoes and enjoy some classic stories and shoebox memorabilia from this fascinating musical era.
'It was the accumulated energy pf the fifties pioneers of Perth pop that set the scene for later, casting a potion into the well of musical inspiration for those who followed, our lauded performers of today.'
