Punk West #6: Georgia Kennedy

Georgia Kennedy has been a Perth punk superfan for many, many years. One of her single purchases was Siouxsie and the Banshees and later Discharge’s Visions of War…and nothing was the same after that. Georgia supported many local punk bands over the years, including Division 4 and Mob Vengeance. Now the Development Manager at WAM, she speaks about why Perth was a frightening place for a punk rocker in the eighties and why she moved to Melbourne (and why she returned).

Punk West is an oral history of Perth’s punk scene. David Redding (Burn the Airwaves) talks to the scene’s stalwarts, stand-outs, and elder states(wo)men about the gigs, the bands, the venues, and the sounds.
