This is a live recording from 1976 of various Melbourne groups
performing at the Station Hotel, Prahran. It originally came out
on the Lamington label and was produced by Keith Glass
(of Missing Link fame). The Station was the original inner city
rock pub venue in Melbourne, spawning a tradition that lasts
till this day (although certain new government legislation
is threatening to kill off this part of the city's culture vis.
the recent closing of the Tote).
This record also documents the first time Andrew Pendlebury
and I actually played together.

Pilgrim Jake from Melbourne shares with us a wonderful
compilation of folk artists from his home town, thanks
Jake. Here's what its all about.
Here is a broad sample of folk/ chamber music from Melbourne
Victoria.Theres a vibrant musical scene with a strong folk
influence. The gentler sounds of Melbourne town come from
the rattle of its trams and the rustle of coats upon bluestone.
These have infused with musicians hereabouts,
who have in turn been nurtured by plentiful venues,
strong independent radio and an appreciative audience.
'Under the hill' presents artists that are a part of Melbourne's
contemporary quiet scene.The sounds might be characterized
as slow strings and a hint of warm brass set to song.
If parts of the folk movement of England in the 70's was
distinctly Folk-Rock electric, then this could be a burgeoning
folk - chamber pop,with a touch of ethereal acid folk revival.
Many of these bands are also a part of a musical family,
supporting and interweaving members amongst one another.
It makes for delightful gigs, steeped as they are in such
companionship and warm melancholia. Ruckers hill in
Northcote overlooks the city.
It is atop this hill where many such congregations occur,
and is home to Melbourne's domestic bohemia.
Thus the compilations name and where you should look if you
ever visit. A few tracks are Australian antecedents in the same
vein and one is not a Melbournian, she just sounds like she
ought, but all the rest are local.
This is a sample of what can be found.
