Been a while since I did a music post, so here's five bands I've been introduced to in the recent-ish period time. Not all Australian, but it counts as an Aussie Music Pusher Post since I'm the Aussie and I'm pushing music. ;)
Cowboy Mouth: Voodoo Shop. Introduced to me by [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] on my recent visit, these guys are a lot of fun. Sort of like Great Big Sea, if they came from Louisiana (This song's the unofficial song for the XF part of Voodoo Child...).
King Nancy: Chances Are. Not a new intro - I first heard these guys back at Johnny's 35th birthday party, where they played support to the Demons. However, I do now have the album on my iPod, and I'm really impressed by the range these guys have. Those of you with the Beaver music CD will have "Someone Like Yourself", which is one of my favourite songs at the moment.
Hilltop Hoods: The Nosebleed Section. Introduced to me by [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com], when I was plundering their shared network. I don't normally like rap, but there's something so quintessentially Australian about these guys. It's rap without the gangsta crap that tends to turn me off. Like Twitch, these guys make rap fun.
VNV Nation: Beloved. Introduced by [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com]. Electronica is something I've gotten into late - mostly through hanging around with [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com], although I dabbled back when I was with the doofus. Red's been feeding me lyrics from these guys for years - over New Year's, I finally got a good chunk of their music. This is my all-time favourite - it's a great song to walk to, especially on a windy day with a long flappy coat. ;)
Katie Melua: Lilac Wine". Introduced by [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com], who left the CD on the coffee table with instructions to listen to it sometime. I played it whilst I was in the bath, then promptly stuck it in the laptop and ripped it. Dad, you'd appreciate the jazz/blues sound. :)
Bonus recommendation from me:
Dom Italiano: There Is A Light. I adore this song. Dom is one of the St Kilda boys, who I discovered on my last visit home, at the Sunday Sessions at the Elephant and Wheelbarrow. I was extremely broke, but I still managed to get his two albums. Best $15 I've spent in a long time - acoustic songwriting at its finest.
