There may be bands that have sold more records, there may be bands that are more popular, but few have hooked into the cultural life of a country in the same way that Midnight Oil has. Since its genesis in 1976, Midnight Oil - fronted by the charismatic and passionate Peter Garrett until his departure in late 2002 - has variously been synonymous with beer-barn angst, green political activism, indigenous advocacy and musical non-conformism. At the same time this hugely popular band has been a mainstay of commercial radio and an icon of contemporary Australian culture. Despite the band's high profile, its members are notoriously private people who have never before revealed details of the inner workings of Midnight Oil. In Beds Are Burning, Mark Dodshon tells the full and frank story of their remarkable career.
