AMERICA invented rock and roll, then there was the British invasion, but what about Oz?
Well now you know :)
In my opinion the saints were horribly overlooked, chris bailey was a great song writer they launched punk before the world knew what punk was, and I found out today that Springsteen’s covered “like fire would”
Amazingly underrated band
Austen Tayshus - Australiana.

Stephen King is a drooling Springsteen fanboy...two political peas in a pod.
Thanks for that
Veggie might come too? LOL
I love some of Kings writing but his politics horrify me LOL
Tame Impala
One of the few new bands worth listening to.

Sounds very 60s
Oops. I thought it said brands. Never mind.
Did you see the vegimite smeared all over his face? LOL! I was actually stationed in Australia when this video/record came out in 1983. They played it a lot on TV and radio. # 1 in Australia for a few months. I miss a few of the jokes, but get almost all of the references. Aussies get all of them.
How many do you get?
BTW, a goanna is an Australian monitor lizard. So Austen says his wife is named Anna. He asks her, do you wanna go Anna? She replies I will if Ding goes.
The lead singer, songwriter, producer is an admitted vintage music/audio nut.
Here they are doing the ‘70s hypnotically

Hey I am music but too, but very little flutters my putter these days it’s like music died around 2000
Music nut.
I lost thousands of grand Lps recently, 45 years of collecting. This partially why I post these threads, to get my fingers on the pulse
Yeah I saw the vegemite lol
Weird I never made it to Oz, I had buddy that lived there and married a Aussie girl,oddly enough he spoke fluent Japanese.
Newsboys
For King and Country (though Luke and Joel now live here)
They should...the man is a loon.
