St Kilda's music history map

This map is a marker of what was and what is, encouraging people to delve deeper and also to share their own experiences of all genres of music in this area.

Songs have been sung on this land for generations, led by First Peoples and joined by voices from many cultures.

We have started by pinning some iconic places, together with a brief history of the site, images, and links to bands who played there. Brian Nankervis, Melynda von Wayward of Punk Journey, Kaye Blum and Rob Wellington have shared their stories and knowledge.

We invite your contributions, recollections and suggestions – your favourite gigs, the music of yesteryear, the places lost and the new ones you love.
