The Aussie Rock thread

[spooning leads to forking]

I've heard of God, Kamikaze Trio and Paradise Motel (what a great name for a band that is) before, but none of the others. I'll definitely be checking them out when I can, as I do really like what I've heard of this particular scene. I'll have a gander at those labels in future as well. Cheers for the heaRAB-up man.

Yes it is great, probably their best.

Thread moved to a more suitable forum.

Yeah they should be there for sure. I knew they were mentioned in previous posts so I didn't bother posting them again. They are the band most non-aussies think of when someone mentions aussie punk rock.




I haven't seen them for at least 10 years. I used to see them a lot in the early 90's. I had heard they were pretty grey these days.

Another band I left off was the sunnyboys, their self titled album is a classic. Great Aussie Surf Guitar Pop.

Well i like only two Aussie based banRAB..
Silverchair in the 90's and AC/DC with bon..and thats it.

I feel like this thread isn't complete without tossing The Birthday Party's name into the ring.

I've been listening to a lot of this stuff over the last few days, i.e stuff from the 70s/80s rock scene like the Saints, Celibate Rifles, Died Pretty and Radio Birdman. Any other fans out there who could point me in the direction of some good albums perhaps?

[scarecrowmasked]

oh yeah... i guess the last worRAB i associated with them were 'Aussie Rock'. They took a pretty anti-rockist stance on music (and just about everything else)

Whether they took an anti-rockist stance or not doesn't change the fact that they played music that definitely falls under the wide urabrella of rock.

Cheers for the suggestions folks. I'll get investigating sharpish.

For anyone who hasn't heard them before, I'd highly recommend 'Spaceman In a Satin Suit' and 'Sideroxylon' by the Celibate Rifles. Both terrific albums
