There's only one Australian band better than Powderfinger in the last 40 odd years.




You can't argue with Richard Moorcroft. George Negus and Stan Grant.

I don't give a damn anyway.

 

[Genghis Tron]

Powderfinger were the last great Australian rock band.

You ever seen King of the North live?

They were bloody awesome at Mojo Burning last year.

Yeah saw them support Kylesa years ago and wasn't expecting much when they walked out. They kicked more arse than a two piece band has any right to kick. Highly recommend you catch them live if you haven't Plugger35

Never heard of them, do they play any Powderfinger or GANGgajang covers?

Hard to capture the musical magic of GANGgajang with just two blokes but I'm sure they'd appreciate it and give it a go if you requested it.

If you want to be a Passenger.

Not sure bands formed on reality tv shows really count as proper bands.

Thankfully I was living in the UK when Bardot was around, although they had their Popstars equivalent over there too and they were equally shit.

Some classic remixes I just thought of by Aussie artists:



(assuming this one counts as a remix lol.... I've seen it elsewhere as the TV Rock Remix.




I actually like the original Midnight Juggernauts version, but Cut Copy just added some extra magic. Two bands I've been lucky to see live

Where were you when Powderfinger played their last concert?

I was at the Enmore Show in 2008, that tour when they did half acoustic, half rock with intermission. I love them but the acoustic half was believe it or not a strain.

Where were you when Powderfinger played their last concert?

Far, far away

 

[William Wonka]

Who is tuning in for Powderfinger's One Night Lonely next Saturday Night Week?

ChappyUK can you stream it?

I saw Powderfinger on their farewell tour and the most notable thing about the evening was that Jet weren't shithouse.
