Ask any street art buff to name a location where one can experience the iconic Melbourne street art scene that the city is globally renowned for and AC/DC Lane is sure to strike a chord. Paying tribute to Australian rock royalty, Corporation Lane in central Melbourne was renamed AC/DC Lane on the 1st of October 2004.

Due to the legislative restrictions, the trademark lightning bolt in the band’s name was omitted from the sign. This sent a jolt through the hearts of fans who thought this is 'Ain't No Fun". One of those fans, local artist Knifey decided to rectify the injustice by taking the matter (and a hammer!) into his own hands. Using the same sheet metal that the street sign is made of, Knifey created a customized lightning bolt sign and nailed it above the new street name. The transformation was complete and things were official 'Back In Business!
