City heritage and histories-particular narratives of music development, genres, venues and personnel-continue to inform contemporary city branding, tourism and industrial strategies. This article explores how both the practices and discourses of the 'music city' circulate in terms of specific histories, and how, in turn, they might inform contemporary practices and future intent. Melbourne, the self-proclaimed music and cultural capital of Australia, is examined as a case study in how the past and present circulate. The article also explores the challenges in documenting the emergence and development of popular music in Melbourne from the 1950s to the present as a three-year Australian Research Council Discovery project, Interrogating the Music City: Cultural Economy and Popular Music in Melbourne, funded from 2016 to 2018.","PeriodicalId":41217,"journal":{"name":"Perfect Beat","volume":"18 1","pages":"95-109"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2017-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1558/PRBT.32801","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67646883","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Keith Urban, Rick Springfield, members of Cold Chisel, The Angels and Masters Apprentices, for example, not only represent themselves as ‘Australian;’ they are frequently associated with the nation by critics and audiences. The Bee Gees also exemplify this trend. In this article, I wish to bring into focus The Bee Gees’ curious connection with Australia. In order to do this task, I ask a series of questions; first, what is The Bee Gees connection to Australia? Second, how has this connection been constructed and continually reinforced? Third, what forms of discursive resistance against their ‘Australianness’ exist in regard to these constructions? And finally, how might we critically understand the tensions that have emerged regarding their legitimacy as an ‘Australian band’? I argue that their connection to Australia is continually renegotiated due in large part to their incompatibility with dominant performances of masculinity by Australian white male musicians.","PeriodicalId":41217,"journal":{"name":"Perfect Beat","volume":"64 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2017-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41288132","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article discusses the film from two main perspectives: (1) how different musical styles operate as distinct elements of the soundtrack (drawing on and embellishing their source contexts and traditions); and (2) how music functions in particular scenes and across the narrative in general. The article identifies the manner in which the film embraces local, national and global musical sources to provide a cultural soundscape that helps show some of the complexities of local identity construction in an era where regional identities are often contrasted against broader national and global influences.","PeriodicalId":41217,"journal":{"name":"Perfect Beat","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2017-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46518743","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
