just some examples, feel free to add any more (there will be obvious ones, like ac/dc, inxs, jet, silverchair, etc)


I'm looking to see if you yanks know the likes of:-


Frenzal Rhomb (these are very much an acquired taste, but I really like them)

Bodyjar

Eskimo Joe

Spiderbait

Powderfinger

Jebediah

Placebo

Grinspoon

Regurgitator

Motor Ace

Something for Kate

Gyroscope

John Butler Trio

Gerling

1200 techniques

the vines

Magic Dirt

The Living End

Sleepy Jackson

wolfmother

end of fashion

Kisschasy


feel free to add any more...?

 

 

Midnight Oil, Men At Work.

 

My favorite australian band was a rockabilly combo that was playing at the texas bar in perth when I was there. They were damn good. Dragstrip I think they were called.
