Bart, Selwyn, and Tjimba - Indigenous Rock Band
Bart and Selwyn’s histories are intertwined, through the history of Indigenous rock music in Australia. They’ve performed in numerous bands together, as well as composed and performed soundtracks together. Here they are performing in a trio with Selwyn’s son Tjimba.
Bart was the founding member of No Fixed Address in the early 80s and Mixed Relations in the 90s. Said to be the tip of the spear in the modern Indigenous song-line, Bart forged the path for many. An undeniable influence on acts that have since followed his lead, he is a multi-instrumentalist and innovator in his field.
Selwyn is a Melbourne-based Yorta Yorta guitarist and songwriter who co-wrote some of the classics of Aboriginal rock music with the band Coloured Stone. He has also performed with No Fixed Address, Mixed Relations and Blackfire. Tjimba is both vocalist and guitarist in the hip-hop group Yung Warriors.
