Description

Top Fellas: The Story of Melbourne's Sharpie Cult Step into the world of the sharpies, Australia's answer to mods and skinheads, where custom-made clothing and street brawls collide. This book brings to life the sharpie subculture, with first-hand accounts from its veterans and rock n' rollers like Lobby Loyde and Angry Anderson. Packed with over fifty photos of teenagers in cardigans, Top Fellas is a lively and engaging read. The sharpies' world is one of contrasts, where fine knits and fine art meet blood n' guts and street fights. With its slang-laced style and fast-paced narrative, Top Fellas is a highly enjoyable and informative read. Loaded with photos and first-hand recollections, this book offers a unique insight into a fascinating piece of Australian cultural history.
