Cut Copy
Cut Copy is a State Library exhibition of gig posters from Brisbane between 1977 and 1987. Besides being a decade apart, these dates are significant for the city’s artistic culture – in 1977 punk bands like Brisbane's own Saints inspired a wave of DIY music around the world, and 1987 being the end of Joh Bjelke-Peterson’s reign as Queensland premier. Joh’s presence looms over the exhibition – one gig poster describes a gig happening “behind the banana curtain”, another “behind the peanut curtain”.
