The Deadly Brothers exhibition will be on display at the State Library of Queensland for one week in the Kuril Dhagun Indigenous space.

It features Murri music from the 1940s onwards, covering all genres of opera, rock, blues reggae, funk and hip hop.

The Deadly Brothers exhibition was created to feature bands, but curator Katina Davidson couldn't resist including  her great Uncle and opera singer Harold Blair.

Deadly Brothers follows an Indigenous fashion exhibition from last year called Flash Women, but Ms Davidson said the community wanted a similar mens' exhibition this time.

Member of The Medics, Kahl Wallace, says in one of the exhibit's video pieces that anyone can be deadly if they put in the effort.
