"...Wendy Smith shares the story of her close connection with legendary Australian bands Skyhooks and AC/DC in the very early stages of their careers. From making concert banners with Angus Young at the iconic AC/DC Lansdowne Road house in St Kilda to hanging out with the band at the infamous Freeway Gardens Motel, Wendy and her three teenage school friends - dubbed 'The Quiet Ones' by Skyhooks frontman Shirley (Graeme) Strachan - enjoyed unparalleled access to the band-members for nearly two years Underpinned by the meticulous detail captured in the diary she kept during the period, Wendy's story also documents teenage life in suburban Melbourne in the mid-70s, the Sharpie/surfie dichotomy, and the rise of the band era at grass-roots venues like the Chelsea Town Hall. This is a unique take on a well-documented subject. Here you'll find (almost) no sex, (almost) no drugs ... but heaps of rock and roll." -- back cover.
