Well, BP were well ahead of their time, but they lacked arrangement skill and stage brightness.....in the long run, Skyhooks were way better than them.

I dig Skyhooks.

Crime + The City Solution to me was the improved version of Birthday Party.



All great bands, you couldn't go wrong with any of them.

Yep, every rebellious Aussie act went thru Alberts in the 60s . Legend has it that OZ lost its innocence thru Alberts, Skyhooks and the notorious Aussie TV show Number 96

Yeah I love his newer ambient stuff too. Just saw him in DC with the bass player from Radiohead. Phenomenal live performer Cave is.

Sounds awesome. I've been fortunate enough to see him twice over the years.

Ne Obliviscaris ...

Just found them, I'd say if you're a fan of Opeth and heavy proggy metal then check them out. You won't be disappointed...

Anything OZ rock goes here - past, present or future .....who's your fav Australian band(s) ?
Here are mine:

Bon Scott AND Brian Johnson era......


A band that most rockers out of OZ don:t know (or overlook), our one and only glam band from the 1970s



Yes, we had our Stooges-oriented band too

Good choices.

Check out the below. Aussie rock legend Jimmy Barnes (singer) with Joe Bonamassa (guitarist).

More of a blues song, but if you like Blues, then this is a must see. Apparently this clip/song was done on the first take.
