As the 70s began, newer acts rose alongside the survivors of
the beat boom, who had regrouped with new bands and a new purpose.
Performers like Blackfeather, Billy Thorpe & The New Aztecs,
Daddy Cool and Spectrum led a "third wave", ushering in a more
confident and mature era of original Australian music. Over the next
five years bands like The Aztecs, Spectrum, Company Caine, Kahvas Jute,
Ariel, Tully, Daddy Cool, Jeff St John & Copperwine, Tamam
Shud, Chain, The La De Das, Madder Lake, Blackfeather and many others
produced some of the finest rock music ever committed to record. A
major Part of our task is to celebrate that music.
