The life and times of a boy on fire, with all that he absorbed in order to dream himself into becoming one of the darkest, and then one of the brightest, of our rock n' roll stars. Light enough for the many to share...
Rough and raw 1980s West Heidelberg was not a place for the faint-hearted. But it was the right time and the right place for a kid who became the writer known as Wisp.
Graffiti was an adventure. Creative freedom meant stealthy late-night missions, escaping street gangs and keeping a step ahead of the law.
This is the true story of Wisp and his cohort, originators of a dazzling array of the very first burners Melbourne ever saw, a creative contribution that lay the foundation for those who followed.

Trash Cult will be hosting one hell of a party on May 27th, as Moody Beaches hit the road in support of their debut record Acid Ocean, along with Portarlington’s most famous musical troupe Affordable Repayments (Members of Killer Birds, Agonhymn) to launch their own new release Can't Win For Losing Some Days.
