"Not Drowning, Waving" formed in 1983. Over the next decade they became one of Australia's most original rock bands, recording a series of inventive albums and attracting critical acclaim. Extensively illustrated, this book provides a detailed history of a remarkable facet of their career, their long term engagement with the music - and musicians - of Papua New Guinea. Individual chapters analyse the Melbourne music culture from which the band emerged: the musical style they developed their work with musicians associated with PNG's Pacific Gold Stuiods and the bands reunion for the 1996 Sing Sing tour.
