Melbourne artist Jon Campbell has been collecting band setlists since the early 1980’s. (The first one being a Sunnyboys list, circa 1981). He was initially drawn to the hand lettering and the fact that each setlist represented a particular gig and moment in history, also how in the face of technology the handwritten list has remained and is the same process for Neil Young as it is for your local indi rockers.

Some of the original band setlists reproduced in the book include, The Go-Betweens, Pikelet, Jeffrey Lewis, Tri-State Lovers and The King Jerklews (Jon’s band from the mid 1980’s and his handwriting). Also reproduced are re-worked lists by, The Sacred Cowboys, Neil Young, Ed Keupper, Always and Architecture in Helsinki to name a few.

Olympic Donuts will perform at the launch of Jon’s book setlist – a fascinating history of band’s set lists.
