1 y separately published work icon Powderfinger: Footprints: The Inside Story of Australia's Best-loved Band Dino Scatena , Sydney : Hachette Australia , 2014 25539810 2014 single work bibliography

Few could debate Powderfinger's place as one of Australia's most loved bands. 2010 saw the end of an era in Australian music, with Powderfinger playing their last concert together, so this November Hachette Australia will proudly publish FOOTPRINTS, the official authorised biography of the band. Written with journalist Dino Scatena, the up-until-now very private members of the band have opened up to detail the full history of Powderfinger. From their early days at the Orient Hotel to packed stadiums around the country and multiple Aria awards, this illustrated edition will feature the never-before-seen photos of the local Brissie boys who became Aussie rock icons.

1 2 y separately published work icon Billy Thorpe : Keep Rockin' Lynn Thorpe , Dino Scatena , Camberwell : Penguin , 2010 Z1733564 2010 single work biography

There was and will only be one Billy. Talented, determined, fiercely independent and with one helluva voice, Australian music legend Billy Thorpe left an indelible impression on our pop culture and our musical history.

Keep Rockin' celebrates the legend and the life of Billy Thorpe in comprehensive style, with dozens of interviews - from people as diverse as Mick Fleetwood, Jimmy Barnes and Olivia Newton-John - as well as hundreds of photos, memorabilia, personal recollections from Lynn Thorpe, Billy's widow, and never-before-published material by Billy himself.

From Thorpie's early days as a child star in Brisbane to his meteoric rise with the Aztecs, his hard-rockin', hard-livin' Sunbury days and his phenomenal return to Australia in the nineties, Keep Rockin' is the definitive tribute to Billy Thorpe, as told by those who knew him best.
