A film about the sound of Australian rock and the emergence of one of
the world's greatest rock bands - AC/DC, or Acca Dacca as they are
known in Australia, and the legendary music company, Albert Music
(Alberts) that helped launched them on to the global rock scene.
Through
the 1960s, 70s and 80s, Alberts created a house of hits in Australia
that literally changed the sound of Australian popular music.
It
started with the Easybeats and their international hit Friday On My Mind
back in the 60s. In the 1970s when Australia was in the midst of a deep
recession, a rough and ready pub rock sound emerged, characterised by
bands like Rose Tattoo who were promoted by family-run company, Alberts.
The raw power and fat guitar sound that characterised Aussie rock was
pioneered by the Alberts and took Australia and the world by storm.
The
sound of Aussie rock really exploded when the Alberts, a well-to-do
family from the Sydney suburbs, joined forces with the Youngs, a Glasgow
family who had emigrated to Australia. The result was AC/DC.
