Vagabond Holes: David McComb And the Triffids

In an homage to David McComb’s haunting music and lyrics that inspired a generation 30 years ago, this collection of stories, poems, and artwork celebrates the man and his postpunk band, the Triffids. Due to sold-out tribute concerts across Australia and the remastering of the complete Triffids oeuvre, a new generation is discovering McComb’s work; fans old and new can delve deeper into his life and music in this intensely personal biography. Many of the featured photographs and images are previously unpublished. Works by both local and international contributors are collected in honor of the 10-year anniversary of David McComb's death, and include: Jonathan Alley, Jill Birt, Martyn Casey, David Cavanagh, Nick Cave, Claire Colebrook, Laurie Duggan, John Dyer, Robert Forster, Richard Gunning, Megan Heyward, Thomas Hoareau, Tracee Hutchison, Phil Kakulas, Steve Kilbey, John Kinsella, Graham Lee, Judith Lucy, Alsy MacDonald, Andrew McGowan, Robert McComb, Gavin Martin, Steve Miller, Denise Nestor, David Nichols, Rob Snarski, and Jon Stratton.
