Based
on Nick Earls’ coming of age dramedy 48 Shades
of Brown, perhaps the most surprising aspect of the 48
Shades soundtrack is how low the Queensland representation
is.
With the novel set most determinedly (as are all
his books) in the Sunshine State, 48 Shades features
more Sydney-siders than anything – 78 Saab, George
Byrne, Josh Pyke, and Lior all make appearances (sometimes
twice), as does former Queenslander Shane Nicholson,
now most certainly a NSW resident.
Melbourne acts Art of Fighting and Sonicanimation
also feature, while Beau Young performs the title cut
and two other cuts besides, and for the most part the 48
Shades soundtrack centres around these soft-focus
singer-songwriter sort of numbers. |
