[Rapture Rapes the Muses]

I have a friend who works for some record lable and today he told me he was the one who signed The Grates. Long story short we are no longer friends.

[Mort]

Hmmm, to see Grinspoon on the 10th or not, or even on the 11th. Choices, choices.

[Mort]

Why? If he signed The Grates, then he is a legend and i would like to kiss him.

[Tania]

Why? If he signed The Grates, then he is a legend and i would like to kiss him.

If you were a few years older I would kiss you.

Canberra is a hole. Sydney should be the capital!











Well, that's what I've heard :erm:.. I've never been to Canberra (so far)


Anyway, Powderfinger and Grinspoon :\mm/:

AC/DC, funny guys <3

Powderfinger are boring. However, Grinspoon I am seeing on Friday. Along with Something with Numbers. Booyeah!

Canberra is not a hole.

True. Hole's tend to be a defining feature. It's more just a... blank space.

Brisbane for Capital.

[Rapture Rapes the Muses]

The best blank space ever.

Adelaide for Capital.

[expanding_universe]

WHYY on earth would you want all the politicians in your city half the year? keep them all in canberra, i say :erm:

[Mort]

The Living End used to be sooo soo sooo fucking good.

[Lucifer Sam]

The Living End used to be sooo soo sooo fucking good.

They were, as usual, fucking brilliant. But no Just Ace :(

[yourunintended]

I don't even like Jet and I thought they were the great live, better then Silverchair and Powderfinger even.

I also love Eskimo Joe, so cute.

[Mort]

Oh yeah, a young Brisbanite band opened for Grinners too. Violent Soho.
They weren't half bad, actually. Nice to see grunge coming back. They did wear their influences on their sleeve, though. Nirvana, Pixies and Sonic Youth a deffo.
Also, the singer looked like Craig Nichols ala Teh Vines.

[Tania]

They were, as usual, fucking brilliant. But no Just Ace :(

Oh I forgot about that, glad you had a good time :)

[NaomiSushiX3]

Wolfmother is my favourite australian band also The Butterfly Effect

[String-Bean-23]

My hairdresser's band is inspired by Muse. They're called Ocean Giants. :)

[Aneta]

Wolfmother is my favourite australian band also The Butterfly Effect

Big yes for The Butterfly Effect! <3


Wolfmother...:erm:.. I don't know them too well:unsure:
I really like their name though. I thought they play some heavy/ gothic music... and I was really disappointed after I've heard their songs.
However, before I'll judge them, I really need to hear all of their stuff. I've heard only three or four songs, so it's not enough for me to tell if I like them or not.

[slipperypoo]

I like a band from Australia called The Cat Empire.

I don't know how big they are over there though. And I can't buy their album on the UK iTunes :mad:. I limewiring my ass off.

[Mort]

And I can't buy their album on the UK iTunes :mad:. I limewiring my ass off.

Which one? They have two.

Bam.
And they're rather crappy. :p

[Beast Love]

Martin Martini and the Bone Palace Orchestra :yesey:

[slipperypoo]

Just the self titled one I think.

They aren't crappy! Your FACE is crappy, CRAPPYFACE.


You callin me a bam? You gettin wide?! Pyur Aye! Square goes, pawl!!!

[Lucifer Sam]

I heard a song yesterday that sounded nothing like their earlier shizzle. I must say it wasn't half bad.

Nah, i lie.

[kuz]

24 Jan - Horden Pavillion - Interpol w/ guests Midnight Juggernauts, The Grates(Boooo:mad:) and Expatriate.

wow :stunned: just. wow. i would pay to see any of those bands headlining (apart from the grates, lol). but still. that'd be an awesome concert.

[Mort]

24 Jan - Horden Pavillion - Interpol w/ guests Midnight Juggernauts, The Grates(Boooo:mad:) and Expatriate.

My lord, all those and only one good band. And it's the one everyone seems to now hate.

oh that would be aweosme!

anyone going to Homebake this year? there were only about 3-4 bands that i would have seen, but they were bands that you could go see at the Annandale or the Hoey any given weekend...apart from Divinyls of course...

[Tania]

Blimey Divinyls, are they still going? :LOL:

[Mort]

Was watching The Side Show the other day and saw Kate Miller-Heidke.
It was an experience, I must say. The new song is rather different to her old stuff.

[illuminatus]

[Caitycat]

Gotye!!!!!

The Cat Empire

[JammaserJ]

Oh man there are just so many! I am really enjoying the diversity of Australian music at the moment and I think we have such a healthy scene.

The Cat Empire, Blue King Brown, John Butler Trio, Something For Kate, Silverchair, CC Stoneking, Angus & Julia Stone, The Vines, Crowded House, The Waifs, Powederfinger, Operator Please, Birds of Tokyo, Karnivool, Airborne (my friend saw them live and said they were awesome!), The Herd, Hilltop Hoods, Anthony Calea....just kidding about the last one. Hes got nothing on Shannon Noll!:LOL:

[l0stwhispers]

Karvnivool! =D

Oh and has anyone heard of A Sound Mind? A Melbourne band. Been to one of their gigs and just awesome awesome stuff. =)

[Lucifer Sam]

Karnivool ftw :D

Think I'll put some on, it's been a while...

[Aneta]

[Max]

Plastic Palace Alice (http://www.myspace.com/plasticpalacealiceband)

I've been listening to Empire Falls a lot. :happy:

I've now got about three Australian based music blogs on RSS feeds so I think I'm probably going to find out a bit more about the Aussie scene. If there are bands as good as that then it will be worth it.

[Noucten]

I'm currently liking The Birthday Party a lot :happy:

[stuffitv3]

Wolfmother are my personal fav.

[New Born Lee]

Quite like Straight Lines by Silverchair. :)

[pebbleangel]

Quite like Straight Lines by Silverchair. :)
silverchairs older stuff is so much better

Purchased this baby today :D

http://4.music.bigpond-images.com/images/AlbumCoverArt/416/XXL/A-Book-Like-This.jpg

I;m very jealous :(
even though that was months ago :LOL:

[Miran-duh]

Wolfmother are my personal fav.

is that because they're one of the few bands that are actually known commercially in the usa ? :LOL:

[l0stwhispers]

Ok, if you're into post-rock like Sigur Ros, Explosions in the Sky, Eluvium, you'll definitely love Mushroom Giant. They're a Melbourne-based band, and I was just at their Myspace page yesterday because they're currently the feature artist of OzProg. First song I heard, Sirenthia, was amazing! And the rest of the songs they have on there just kept bringing it to the next level. So yes, go to http://www.myspace.com/mushroomgiant

[Miran-duh]

i dont care what y'all haterz say

i'm listening to eskimo joe's A song is a city and it's still as good as i remember it

[pinkfloyddsotm]

Cog

[Black Cat]

Cog

uh-huh *nods*

Dead Letter Circus as well, which I've recently discovered:D

[Emz.]

The Vines :happy: <333

[jonnno]

Went to see Bagster last night, they were bloody fantastic

[lily318]

Cog

uh-huh *nods*

Dead Letter Circus as well, which I've recently discovered:D

sorry guys, don't get the appeal. Most of the Australian stuff I listen to is pretty indie and pop-focussed.

Angus and Julia Stone
Red Riders
Eskimo Joe
Midnight Juggernauts

Don't mind a bit of new Behind Crimson Eyes either. I dig their flannies.

[Carrotie]

I can't stand Silverchair :indiff:

I like their old stuff but their new stuff... bleh.

Straight Lines shits me up the wall.

[jonnno]

I don't like any Silverchair, or powderfinger for that matter.

[egomaniac]

I forgot how much I liked something for kate

[Debi]

I can't stand Silverchair :indiff:

I like their old stuff but their new stuff... bleh.

Straight Lines shits me up the wall.

They were shocking at this year's Big Day Out. :noey:

I like Van She. They're alright even though they're a bit too pretty.

[el Prez]

---> The Butterfly Effect <---

All you need to know. Incredible - Begins Here was brilliant but Imago is one of the best albums I have ever heard. Very melodic and soft at times but incredibly layered and emotive album.

Amazing live too.

[Claireness]

They were shocking at this year's Big Day Out. :noey:


God they were rubbish weren't they? They only good songs they played were Freak and Israel's Son. And they were the only two songs the crowd got in to. I'm glad that's the only time I've had to suffer through them and at least the wait was for Rage.

[mistysakura]

Interesting... Silverchair were excellent at Across the Great Divide last year. Excellent tone, awesome voice, loved the guitar effects...They definitely don't have the same impact on album though. Just my opinion. But Powderfinger and Silverchair aren't that similar; Silverchair's music is always evolving whereas Powderfinger stays stagnant (get some new chord progressions people).

Anyway, in love with Cog, Karnivool and The Butterfly Effect at the moment.

[pinkfloyddsotm]

yeah COG's new album is fuckin insane, i bought it yesterday
town of lincoln is my new fav, some long songs varying from 5 - 10 mins, more prog rock/industrial rock sound, but he has the perfect voice for the type of music they make..
less riff orientated and more based aorund crazy chord progressions..i went to two sanity stores and they'd sold out cogs new album so their getting bigger lol

and yeah powderfinger need to broaden their horizons, silverchair has, powderfingers new song "who really cares" its epic as, the guitarist plays the double neck gibson like page yet doesnt do any sick solo's in the song, his solo consists of moving around the Aminor pentatonic scale thats it..listen to the song and youll understand that it does need a guitar solo

[TaperJeanGirl]

God they were rubbish weren't they? They only good songs they played were Freak and Israel's Son. And they were the only two songs the crowd got in to. I'm glad that's the only time I've had to suffer through them and at least the wait was for Rage.

haha, i am a mad silverchair fan and prefer their newer stuff, but geez they effed up with the setlist for BDO.

i thought they sounded pretty good at sydney BDO (well from the barrier anyway, my mate was up in the stands and said the sound was shite and she loves them more than i do), but if you dont like their newer stuff you would have been bored to tears

[DublinNeil]

Eskimo Joe are my fav. Only discovered them when I moved here last year and love their stuff.

Silverchair were average at the Perth Big Day Out. I did enjoy Grinspoon even though I knew fuck all of their stuff.

[Jessicat]

The Presets........................................... .......
Can't think of much else, Australian bands were heaps better 10 years ago
'Coz I like there old stuff better than there new stuff'

[Waldo]

Plug-In City.<3

[pinkfloyddsotm]

COG's new album is #2 on the album ARIA charts
yeyah!
bout time they get some recognition

[Max]

I've had the Plastic Palace Alice album for quite a bit now. Pretty awesome, definitely my favourite band from Australia at the moment.

[jonnno]

:D.x

[Claireness]

I can't stand Silverchair :indiff:

I like their old stuff but their new stuff... bleh.

Straight Lines shits me up the wall.

Oh yes! Me too. So much. I HATE Straight Lines. When I got back from England, it was all that was playing over here. Made me hate it so much more when there are so many better UK bands they could be playing.

Saying that, I saw The Mess Hall support the Foo Fighters last night and they were pretty damn good.

[ninja]

did anyone listen to the one night stand last night? [excluding jonno]
I missed faker, but PNAU and cog were awesome :happy:
half made my night :happy:

[ScarredEyes]

Technically international, but Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds.

Dig yourself, LAZARUS, dig yourself..................

[ninja]

you dont like him and them?

[ScarredEyes]

you dont like him and them?
Oh no, no, I love Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. Apart from his duet with Kylie Minogue on Murder Ballads, did not care for that at all.

[ninja]

good, i dont know much of their stuff, but i like what i've heard.


kylie minogueogrely?
deary.

[pinkfloyddsotm]

yeah i missed cog playing at the one night stand, hope they put footage of it up..saw their soundcheck on the site, looks sick.

[ScarredEyes]

good, i dont know much of their stuff, but i like what i've heard.


kylie minogueogrely?
deary.
Tender Prey is a good album, it has The Mercy Seat on it which is seven minutes of wonderful string-laden rock.

[TaperJeanGirl]

Saying that, I saw The Mess Hall support the Foo Fighters last night and they were pretty damn good.

They're half the reason i caved and bought myself a ticket to see the Foos this weekend in sydney. Loving them to pieces at the moment.

[Claireness]

They're half the reason i caved and bought myself a ticket to see the Foos this weekend in sydney. Loving them to pieces at the moment.

Yeah, they are. I need to get their album methinks.

[hysteria_bside]

There's a band in Sydney Australia who have just started out about a year ago called Papa VS Pretty who I think sound a bit like a mix of radiohead and Muse, probs mostly like Showbiz era meets electronics experimentation... the songwriting is definately completely original and interesting which is very much similar to Muse, and the singer guy has a voice that reminds me of Matt with a few falsetto parts in songs etc. They also remind me of Queen, both in vocal harmonies, and in guitar harmonies (check out the track "Educated", very Brian May-ish)!

they're not very well known at the moment, mainly just in the sydney underground scene but given a few years i think they'll be big, especially considering they're average age is 17 i think.

I high recommend you all to check them out on myspace; I found them on there earlier this year and loved them, and I think many of you here who like Muse will also like them!

www.myspace.com/papavspretty

[ninja]

'the songwriting is definately completely original and interesting which is very much similar to Muse'
that doesn't make sense.


hmmm, riiight now, i'm absolutely loving Faker & Gyroscope [still hahaha]
and I still have a lady crush on Clare Bowditch

[jonnno]

i like children collide, theyre fun. and the living end will always be close to me heart. josh pykes new ones are crackers too.

[ninja]

they're very energetic live, omnomnom josh pyke <3

[hysteria_bside]

'the songwriting is definately completely original and interesting which is very much similar to Muse'
that doesn't make sense.

hahaha yes i see why you could think that didn't make sense, but what I meant was they have original songwriting, much like Muse also have originality in their songwriting, not that the songwriting was necessarily the same as Muse, cos then of course, as you pointed out, that wouldn't make sense if it was original but the same! :LOL:

[Press Gang]

Sekiden. Simple.

The Butterfly Effect is one of my favorite bands! Others that are great: Cog, Dead Letter Circus, Sick Puppies, Wolfmother, Teenager (I think that's Aussie at least), etc.

Anyone listen to Parkway Drive or Carpathian? Can anyone recommend some good songs by them? I'm trying to get into them.

[Press Gang]

The Sleepy Jackson.

They got anything out lately?


Not really. Luke's been pretty much focusing on Empire of the Sun for the past year. I wouldn't put it past him to throw a Sleepy album together by the end of the year though.

[Lucifer Sam]

Oh I see. Should probably get my hand on some o dat.

Oh new Bob Evans too, should get on that as well.

[Lucifer Sam]

Also, new Karnivool album out in a few weeks time :D

haha Hiltop Hoods are such a quality Australian band, their new album is great quality music and im not usually into hip hop.
And the Presets? In their field they are just so polished and professional.
I will always have a soft spot for The Living End. When I was on holiday in England we stayed near a pub/club were they were playing (it was +18 :mad:) we walked past their tour bus... it was parked illegally and had a ticket:LOL:

[Emaaa]

i know they were born in NZ but Evermore are by far my favourite band <3
I saw them perform last Friday and they were amazing !

I think they've only got an EP out at the moment... but im really hoping an album will come soon.
From hearing the recordings on triple j from Splendour in the Grass, it sounds like their pretty awesome live too:happy:
it's certainly fun to yell out HEY! HO! USE YOUR FLIPPERS TO GET DOWN at parties... i can just imagine doing it live :awesome:

[hoodoo oz]

Perhaps I'm showing my age here but I've always been a big fan of and Aussie band called the Church (if someone has already mentioned them in this thread I apologise!)
Still going strong. Formed in 1980. Their lead singer Steve Kilbey was actually born in Liverpool, UK.
Any other Aussies (or indeed international members) who are fans?

[hoodoo oz]

Yeah I actually saw them when they supported Sigur Ros at their Sydney gig in August 2008.

just that i've been well into presets since 2005 and i fucking hate mainstream radio for raping them to the point that you can't watch an ad break without hearing their songs, and shit people are remixing their work and getting airplay for it.

Well I'm sorry I gave off the impression that I'm a "mainstream" fan that ruins a favourite artist of yours.

[Miran-duh]

[Press Gang]

Personally I found the new album exceedingly boring. But for me that's happening with a lot of bands it seems.

Hmm yes... I'll admit the new one is a bit hit-and-miss... But I quite like 'The Price' and 'Slow For Me, My Island' :happy:

[Press Gang]

Wooooo. Sounds of Spring in Brisbane. Shall be a fucking awesome day of nothing but Australian bands. Phwoooaaarrr.

[Miran-duh]

parklife on sunday... OMFG.



every time i hear someone on the radio who'll be there i'm like HEY GUISE PARKLIFE THIS WEEKEND :awesome:

[Lucifer Sam]

2009? WTF.


Anyway, went to the Dead Letter Circus gig last night. Four bands for ~$30, good times.

First was a band called Self is a Seed - nice and rocky but the vocals were a bit overpowered by the guitars. http://www.last.fm/music/Self+%7C+Is+A+Seed

Next was a band called [Me]. Never heard of them before but they were pretty fun. Heavy at times, with a lot of non-vocal parts to their songs. Sorta reminded me of Silversun Pickups, only slightly though.http://www.last.fm/music/%255BMe%255D?ac=%5Bme%5D

Floating Me were as to be expected, with the Cog drummer and Jon Stockman in the lineup. The vocalist was not into it at all, he was good but just didnt seem to be interested in the whole thing. But they were awesome all the same. Very drum heavy and you could really hear the influence of Jon from Karnivool in there. Might go see them again if they have a headline show. http://www.last.fm/music/Floating+Me

[sunburnt-bliss]

Whoaa... just came across this thread... it's been asleep for way too long!

My favourite two aussie bands: The Temper Trap and Amy Meredith.

I saw The Temper Trap live in Melbourne last year, and they were brilliant (my first concert too!). I'm seeing Amy Meredith in May at the Hi Fi Bar :D

I've also seen Oh Mercy live (supporting TTT), and they're not bad, but not my type of thing.

I also like Little Red, Birds of Tokyo, Children Collide and a bit of Kisschasy...

[MuzikChik]

I LOVE AUSSIE MUSIC!!!! HOW HAVE I NOT SEEN THIS THREAD!!!

Seriously, I could go on forever... just on the Perth music scene, forget the rest of Australia.. hahaha!

-Birds of Tokyo
-Break Even
-Chasing the Ninth
-Further Earth (Dead Letter Circus fans will like :))
-Gyroscope
- I, Said the Sparrow (These guy's or on the rise, check them out!!!)
-Kill teen Angst
-Jebediah
-Karnivool
-Sugar Army
-Tame Impala
-The Chemist
-The Novocaines
-Tim Nelson and the Infidels
- We are the Emergency
-West End Riot (local version of The Living End)

Just to scratch the surface... the diversity and quality of music in this city is beyond amazing. Go to any random gig, and it is very rare that you have to sit through a crappy act :)


Some of my fave national acts include:
-British India
-Dead Letter Circus
-Forgiven Rival
-Gotye
-Gypsy & The Cat
-Kisschasy
-The Bedroom Philosopher (Comedy)
-The Living End
-The Sundance Kids
-Violent Soho (Fans of The Vines will enjoy :)

[Lucifer Sam]

West End Riot (local version of The Living End)

Seriously?!

Do they do covers or what?

[MuzikChik]

No, they write originals :)
http://www.myspace.com/musicwestendriot

Given that the majority of the band members haven't hit 18 yet, some of the lyrics are a little juvenile. But they have talent by the truckload! As said on FL 'Guitarist Chris Travaglini played solos that would rival any guitar hero'. They are only going to get better as they grow :)
These recordings are muddy, it's just done on their home computer, so that's understandable. They are a band that need to be experienced live. So much energy!

[Lucifer Sam]

Bought the Mammal album "The Majority". JB HIFI surprisingly had both of their albums.

I am excite to listens.

[The Final Track]

My favorite Aussie band undisputed is The Triffids. Amazing.

[oncomingsoundstorm]

So much love for Tame Impala <3

[The Final Track]

^Who's concert tonight at Coachella will be streamede on YouTube!

[laurenn1]

The Middle East album that just came out is amazing.

[Lupus]

I LOVE AUSSIE MUSIC!!!! HOW HAVE I NOT SEEN THIS THREAD!!!

-The Bedroom Philosopher (Comedy)

DITTO!

And this reminds me of a little clip I love...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zzkd2FN_kqM
I love the building and smart car one :)

Anyway, back on topic, you guys have excellent music there, and I wish I could find more Powderfinger up here. I've only begun digging into their collection. Temper Trap are good, and I like the dance to Art vs. Science.

[stanbridge]

You Am I

Rockin!!!

[Lucifer Sam]

Super obsessed with The Jezabels at the moment. Dark Storm EP is awesome, and the album, Prisoner, is not far behind. I can't stop listening to them after their Sydney gig last weekend. Such lovely tunes :happy:

I also found out today that the vocalist from Boy & Bear was my next door neighbour as a kid until I was about 12. Funny stuff.

Hurrah for Sydney bands!

Saw Tracer on Monday night supporting Royal Republic, and I was very impressed.
Think 70s rock crossed with QoTSA. :awesome:

[Stewie26]

[Me] are amazing! I love them so much. Apart from their name. I hate the name :LOL:

[Riveon]

I quite like Red Ink - local band from my area.
Here's two of their songs:

Yep I am too, despite only knowing a few. :happy: Hurt Me I love especially. I'll have to get their album.

Edit:
At other times [Me] are like the soundtrack to a vampire movie set in revolutionary France – with laser beams.
Haha whenever I hear Naked I've thought of around that era (well, more Napoleonic), so I'm not weird. :p

I saw the Jezabels a few weeks ago, really good, too many screamy 12 year olds, was quite annoying. So many asked if we could swap spots (i was on the barrier) for just a few songs. :rolleyes:

:O Boy & bear are so great, the singer is the nicest guy!

Becoming obsessed with Empire of the Sun again after seeing them live. Their show was just unbelievably confusing.

[Mobius]

I saw a band last week called DZ Deathrays, they were fucking loud of all things. :LOL:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TsOSv9KcpOE

they do sound a lot like death from about 1979, but don't tell anyone. ;)

[OpenMinded]

The Vasco Era. So good live, if you get the chance go see them :D

[naget4music]

AHHH BOY AND BEAR KEEP BLOWING ME AWAY
