For those in the area or visiting Canberra in the coming months, Hunters and Collectors are among artists to feature in the new National Portrait Gallery exhibition, Pub Rock!
Pub Rock is your backstage pass to 70s and 80s sounds and scenes. Showing daily from Saturday 5 September 2020 until Sunday 14 February 2021.
The Gallery details:
Celebrate the people, places and sounds of Australian pub rock and its enduring impact on our nation’s identity.
Get in amongst the staged portraits, publicity shots and grungy energy of live performance as pioneering acts like The Easybeats, Little Pattie and Johnny O’Keefe share the stage with global players and local favourites. The line-up includes AC/DC, Midnight Oil, Cold Chisel, INXS, Nick Cave, The Bee Gees, Kylie Minogue, Paul Kelly, Yothu Yindi, Marcia Hines and many more.
