He has completed a history of Sydney rock music (2003) and is currently leading an Australian Research Council Discovery project, Interrogating the Music City, on the industrial and urban histories of Melbourne popular music.
Shane has been involved in 14 Australian Research Council and other projects on music and cultural economies, with commisioned reports completed on the Australian recording sector, the NSW live music sector, and Melbourne's popular music economy.
