Australian Bands
When I was younger I used to be into 'Men at Work'. Then I got into INXS and when I was over there I really liked 'Midnight Oil'. Can anyone recommend any good Australian bands?

I like Silverchair and The Living End
One is a grunge band, the other, more punk. Silverchair: Freak Anthem For The Year 2000 The Living End: Roll On What's On Your Radio |

Wolfmother.
The Church. Both worth checking out. I'd leave Savage Garden well alone though! |

AC/DC are a strange one, an Australian rock band where most of the modern line up was born in Britain!
In fact George Young & Harry Vanda of the Easybeats were Flash & The Pan and produced George's kid brother's band AC/DC. There was yet another Young brother who was in late 60s psych/popsters Grapefruit. |

The Triffids, definitely. One of the most cruelly underrated bands of all time. Honest, I'm not kidding, they were seriously good.
Listen to 'Wide Open Road', 'Raining Pleasure', 'Field Of Glass' . |

What's coming out of Australia recently then? Who is making a name for themselves in the pub circuit in the major cities at the moment?

Forgot to also add Powderfinger. I have a couple of their albums. These days and passenger are my fave songs of theirs. As for current stuff - I think John Butler Trio are still kicking about. There's also The temper trap eta: oops temper trap already mentioned so I'll add Magic Dirt. |

2 great indie pop guitar bands from oz
from the 90s, the very under-rated 'even as we speak' who still have the definitive version of new orders bizarre love triangle. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bwGmuHgmcyc and, although no one has probably ever heard of them, i really love this band from melbourne, the triangles. their song 'lets replace the cityscapes' is what a good pop song should be about. http://www.myspace.com/trianglesband |
