FBI 94.5FM’s Out of the Box with Christos Tsiolkas
Event 311		print Print This Page
Christos Tsiolkas and music go way back. At last year’s Sydney Writers’ Festival, he said: "Being an adolescent at the moment of punk and post-punk music, succumbing to the aggressiveness, revolt and atonality of the music influenced the rhythms and tones and expression of what I wanted to write."

Every week, FBI 94.5 delves into someone's record collection and talks about the music he or she loves, their life and how the two interact. This year at SWF, they’re taking the opportunity to dig into Christos’ record collection, and the rest.

Six novels, six plays, a couple of screenplays. This is the back-story, told through disco, house, art rock and pop, folk and beats.

Presented by FBi 94.5 and Cyclic Defrost magazine.
