I've read Pyramidiacs were good but never bought anything. Thanks for the sample!

I love The Vines, Rick. Here's one of my favorites from 2008's Melodia.

Fairfield's finest just came up on an eMusic playlist, so I thought, "Why not?"

I would love to be able to see the Church. Prefer their early material but still interested in hearing what they are up to now. Mark  I'm also a fan of P76 and all the incarnations of Dom Mariani's bands. There is another band that I discovered recently that had a great sound - I believe it was The Early Hours.

Anyone like Powderfinger or the Vines?

Hi peeps! I, too, like a lot of the Aussie bands that have been mentioned (especially Dom Mariani/Someloves/Stems, M.Carpenter, Finn Bros/ C.House, P76, Chris Murphy, Innocents, etc). A few suggestions: Rob Smith of The Innocents has a couple of great solo albums that may be a little hard to find. I'm not a big fan of The Church, I love their album "The Blurred Crusade" and I like their 1st self titled US album. These are poppier than their other stuff. Another favorite that I haven't seen mentioned is The Dingoes. They had 3 albums in the '70's and one released in the States, "5 Times the Sun", which remains one of my all-time favorite records. They were sort of a Faces-style bar band, but that doesn't really do them justice. Thanks to all for your suggestions! Now I've got some new bands to check out.

Great news indeed, Julie. I saw them in Austin on the Gold Afternoon Fix tour; needless to say, they were incredible. Too bad they barely descend below the Mason-Dixon Line on this tour. Don't they know it's "the Bible Belt?" Come to think of it, maybe they do.

It took me about 5 minutes of Googling to figure out the bearded guy was Willson-Piper

That is great news. I saw their acoustic tour earlier in the year and it was a stellar show. Well worth the trek to Chicago. Road trip, anyone?

As a part of their 30th Anniversary celebrations, long-time Aussie favorites The Church return in February 2011 for a one-month tour of the U. S. They will be performing three albums in their entirety: Untitled #23, Priest=Aura, and Starfish. Click here for more information, including tour dates.
