Postcards From The Pits

Cosmic Baby
Founder and Publisher. Based in Brisbane.
Howard started Scene Magazine in 1993. Paul Keating was Prime Minister. Whitney, Janet and Mariah all had Aussie #1s and Mark Zuckerberg was 9. Over 30 years he's overseen the growth of scenestr magazine to become Australia's largest – and only national – street press while forging a digital-first imperative for the title in the mid-naughties. He's judged more battle of the bands than he cares to remember and proud of the myriad media partnerships the company has earned across the music, arts and comedy sectors. He likes Star Trek and a good Oxford Comma – way too much fun at parties.

Jeff Polley will release his first book of photographs from an immense back catalogue of work from the Brisbane 90s club scene.


Polley was a prolific photographer and lead shutterman for iconic Brisbane street press, Scene Magazine between 1994 and 1999. From the pits, he shot everything and everyone — superstars to punters.

Jeff Polley'Postcards From The Pits' captures the vital intimacy of The Site, The Arena, The Tube and all the Brisbane venues which bore witness to the burgeoning dance scene.

The first, limited edition run of 200 copies will be released in the next few days and initially available in soft cover for $65. The hard cover edition edition is due shortly before Christmas.

The launch happens 4pm on Sunday December 15 at The Tivoli [BNE] prior to the Nile Rogers event. To order a copy, stay in touch at Postcards From The Pit Facebook page.
