Little band scene

The little band scene is the name given to the post punk rock scene which flourished in Australia in the late 1970s and 1980s. This scene was concentrated around inner suburbs, and was characterised by large numbers of small bands, more concerned with artistic expression than mainstream success. The bands played in small inner-city venues, often pubs, and their music was sometimes broacast by community radio stations, such as 3RRR. In the scene, the distinctions between performers and audience were blurred; many of the people in the audiences at shows were either in bands or ended up forming such.

The Melbourne little band scene was the subject of the 1987 film Dogs In Space.
