Australian Bands

[Sprogus]

The Red Paintings. Now that's a fine Australian band that most haven't heard of.

 

[Goldeneye1989]

AC/DC...It's the only one I've heard of.

More likely, the only one you know to be Australian. A lot of our best bands aren't known to be Australian. It's mildly frustrating.

But, because I love you: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_are_some_famous_Australian_bands

but does that mean they are not marketed as australians or that we dont have a particular style and just seem to take the best from the poms and yanks?

I love The Living End, but my absolute favourite... well, that'd be The Grates. I never see or hear any mention of them anywhere. It's spooky. It's almost at the point where, if I hadn't seen them live and bought their CDs, I'd actually question whether or not they really exist.

Men at Work.
The Grates.
Does Sarah Blasko count?
And the obvious INXS and AC/DC.

PSYCROPTIC
Amazing Technical Death Metal.
