Thanks for the links. No most of us colonists, (you guys are colonists also right?
 ), haven't heard of most of them. Unfortunately it seems in todays world you have to make it in the US of A to make it. Great band names for sure!Will listen to the links when I have time.

1983 Chisel Bootleg - 'Wild Thing'. - YouTube
Chisel actually got quite pissed at their lack of acceptance in the States - hence the song "you've got nothing I want"... and the comments from Barnsey in the above clip (accompanied by footage from Bathurst - how Aussie can you get?!): "any Americans here? Well F**** you guys"... that or being 1983 it may have been an America's Cup reference Ha!

I always liked Midnight Oil and Hoodoo Gurus. If you stretch it into the early 90s, Silverchair was relatively popular over here.

I am missing any kind of 60's/early 70's music of any kind of nationality(think Edith Piaff = France for example). Australian, UK etc. Some of these old songs give me the shivers/goosebumps. Justin Bieber does not cut it for me. Thanks for the Oz input. The music world needs to be turned upside down

Good stuff for sure, but i thimk the main reason we "yanks" don't get it, is that we have our own , very large, pool of talented, what we call, "bar bands".

Crowded House, that's one of yours isn't it
 How have you been? I watch "Manley Surf" on TV and I think of what a tough time you have living there. |

Help me out, Aussies... I'm trying to remember the name of an Aussie pub rock band my friend Sharon (Melbourne) told me about... checking my ticket collection...
Yep, found the ticket she sent me... no name... ticket only says "special guests"... they opened for Southern Culture on the Skids that night at Corner Hotel in Richmond... April 11, '98. Anyway, these guys were notorious over there at that time, and their lead singer would do virtually anything to shock the crowd into a frenzy... I'll never forget Sharon telling me, "I couldn't believe what ___________ did to a raw chicken with his tackle out." She mailed me a local music rag with Robert Crumb-like drawings that explained what took place.

Best live aussie pub band was psychobilly band the Fireballs.
If you never saw them live, you missed out. Incredible.

I like Hoodu Gurus, not so much Midnight Oil. Can't stand the lead singer's voice.
I think you guys doomed a lot of Aussie bands in the U.S. when you sent us Little River Band.
