GOANNA

For songwriter-performer Shane Howard, a visit in 1980 to Uluru where he spent time with the local Aboriginies and attended a corroboree, not only impacted on his life, it provided inspiration for the writing of 'Solid Rock' a damning indictment of the European invasion of Australia. Recorded by Howard's band Goanna in 1982, it topped charts around the country and is considered today to be one of the most powerful political statements ever put to a rock and roll beat. This year marks the 20th Anniversary of the release of Spirit Of Place, an album that was to go on and achieve enormous sales througout the 80's. Presented here for the first time is the album, fully remastered by Shane Howard himself, and containing seven bonus tracks. Two decades after its initial release, 'Spirit Of Place' is once again at the forefront of Australian albums that not only entertained us but also gave us a sense of our history and hopefully a longing to contribute to its positive future.
