Australian music in the 90s went through an alternative explosion. This is the story of how the spark was lit, and the fallout that followed. Part history, part documentary and part memoir, Just Ace adapts the scripts from the first two seasons of the acclaimed podcast series about the 90s Australian alternative music scene – whatever the hell that means. How a generation bands, artists, labels and people made a decade of music. How that music mixed and clashed with political and technological change. How smart people made up new rules, started new labels, new magazines, new festivals and more. How not selling out and integrity became the model for a scene – a scene that crashed by the end of the decade. This first volume features bands such as Ammonia, The Clouds, The Cruel Sea, Falling Joys, Frente, Dave Graney, Died Pretty, The Hummingbirds, Jebediah, The Lucksmiths, Magic Dirt, Silverchair, Smudge, Tumbleweed, Underground Lovers, You Am I and many more.
