Taj Farrant. It will be interesting to see how this kid goes in the future. Really good guitar player and should only get better.

Brad Cox's new album Acres. Great album.

 

[Eagle Of Destiny]

IT's criminal that you can ask anyone about Ganggajang and they'll say "This is Australia"

How do bands like this get ignored

Genesis Owusu

Been almost a year since the thread was launched, and no TISM? Shame! Hard to think that TISM would ever get any traction in a country other than Australia.

As a Melburnian, have to plug the Melbourne Ska Orchestra and their cover of the Get Smart theme. It's a cracker, and it's fun trying to work out where they filmed the video clip.

Seen them late last year at the Espy for about the 10th time. Great live.

My favourite Pub Rock band, THE LIME SPIDERS released this Slime Green Vinyl only compilation today.


plenty of great tracks on the album including Slave Girl, Volatile, Out Of Control, My Favourite Room and this masterpiece.

Odyssey Number Five is one of the last great Australian rock albums.

Bit of dumb WA parochialism that sounded good on the car radio driving home at about 7am Saturday morning.

This has mix of bodgie bogan r&r (although they all look like they have sharpie haircuts on the cover...not their look onthe GTK live version) and a bit of blues psych to finish

Does anyone in Melbourne know much about this bloke or seen him playing gigs. His name is Mike Sill and he started and runs a label called Ramble Records (https://ramblerecords.bandcamp.com/) in the recent couple of years, which puts out a lot of new music from all over the world, including Aust., and his own solo guitar and collaborative stuff recorded under the name The Man From Atlantis. (Sample below).

First listen to this recently released Ned Collette album called "Our Other History". Line after line of mystery and intrigue which I may never unravel.

Haven’t listened to him in forever, thanks for the heads up.

With John Baslington Lyde on guitar. You can hear why he's an Australian great.

 

[CliffMcTainshaw]

One of the really great Australian songs and a personal favourite. Spectrum, with Mike Rudd and Bill Putt. I saw them hundreds of time throughout all their various their lineups and band names. Still my favourite band and their gig at "Catcher" in Flinders Lane still the best live performance I have ever witnessed.

 

[MisterB]

Japanese Comix, a band I used to go and watch in pubs in Melbourne around 1980

 

[Norwegian Blue]

I first heard of Total Tommy when she supported Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers late last year.

She's since released an album - Bruises - which I've been listening to a lot.
