Yeah, they get good airplay on JJJ. They are one of those bands who I wouldn't get their album, and I can't remember the name of their songs, but when they are on the radio, ya know the words and like the song.

The Hitman

and badly drawn boy - I love their album "The hour of bewilderbeast" but I never ever hear of them, at least not from this country.

It's a small world. I know Pat the new bass player in the band and I've supported Dallas Crane once or twice in my band the Casanovas.

Just acquired the best of The Church. What a great CD - very under rated IMHO.

 

[Fat Pizza]

The Louisville Sluggers - swing/jazz
The Porkers - hardcore ska
The Lucksmiths - pop

All have a great sense of humour to back up their musical talents.

Small World indeed, any ideas where their playing next?

I like Fat Pizza I like!!

Bands that really deserve more recognition include Strung Out, No Use for a Name, Millencolin and Pennywise. Yes, I know these guys are fairly big in the alternative scene, but the poo all over most of the so-called 'alternative' bands that make it through to the mainstream.

Thanks Goalden Hawk.

If those bands are in the same class as either the Porkers or the Louisville Sluggers, I'll have to check them out.

No probs mate.

Well they are more punk than ska...but if you are after good Aussie ska bands, off the top of my head I can think of OiSka, Commissioner Gordan, Addiction 64, Wiseacre and the Mad Dash....all these bands are top notch, you can get most of their CD's from Missing Link in Flinders Lane.
