Teen Time, Bandstand, 
Dig Richards, 
Johnny O'Keefe & The Dee Jays, Sing, Sing, Sing, 
Col Joye & The Joy Boys, 
The Delltones, Sydney Stadium, Saigon.........
some of the names to be found in BEHIND THE ROCK, the refreshingly frank reminiscences of Australian rock musicians, guitarist Jon Hayton and Drummer Leon Isackson.

Based on personal diaries, BEHIND THE ROCK is a humorous and honest account of life on the Australian rock 'n' roll scene from it's birth in 1956 to the mid-sixties.

With the changing fortunes of their band, the R'Jays, the authors take us behind-the-scenes of Festival Records, "live" television, stadium concerts and dances, band tours in Australia, New Zealand and war-torn Vietnam and the world of adolescent sex, fans and "band vultures", bungling managers and hard-living and heart-broken rock stars. A no-holds-barred, eyewitness story, BEHIND THE ROCK is a vital document for understanding the history of "OZ Rock".
