The new mapping project will see footpath decals positioned outside eight historical venues along Fitzroy Street to Acland Street, recording our live music heritage and the places, bands and characters that have contributed to St Kilda's history.
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.
Songs have been sung on this land for generations, led by First Peoples and joined by voices from many cultures.
The map is a marker of what was and what is, encouraging people to delve deeper and to share their own experiences of all genres of music in the area.
