Just wondering who you're favourite Australian band or artist is ?

For me it is Pete Murry, absolutely love his work, such a great singer, incredible songwritter and just has great great songs.

I WANT TO HAVE SEX WITH THIS THREAD.

My favourite all time artist is/was The Middle East. Their first LP which was a kind of folk/post-rock with some ambient piece is my favourite album. They've split up now.

Then there's Solkyri, a post-rock band, a song of whose I've posted in the under-appreciated artists thread. Apart from those two favourites, I also like/don't mind Boy & Bear, Leader Cheetah, Cloud Control, and Firekites.

I don't know many Australian artists/bands, but right now, at the top of my head, Tame Impala. Psychedelic rock, for real.

Not sure if you can count Tim Minchin in, but at the moment he is the most awesome Australian ever. To me, of course. :D

And that's not just because his hair is fucking gorgeous.

Closure in Moscow would be my favorite Australian band. They're fun to listen to.

Haha awesome! If your as excited as me then it can't come soon enough. Personally I like Flame Trees best, and who doesn't like Khe Sanh?
And I've got to agree with you on Forever Now, brilliant song!

As to the person who mentioned Tim Minchin, he better count, he's a legend.
Taboo and Happy Litte Africuns - amazing.

Hahahaha yes im pumped to see Jimmy live, i heard he has had some health issues recently but from what i heard there is nothing that's going to stop him from making the dates, so excited. And yes 'Flame Trees' is not only Chisels best song (in my opinion) but also one of the best songs of all time.

And this is my thread so you are fucking damn right Tim Minchin counts haha.
