Australian Music (continued....)

Hey, Superstar!!

I Loved your Aussie music thread on ILO. So glad you decided to start one here!

Haven’t caught up with this thread yet, but please don’t forget David Graney!! I don’t know why, but I find myself humming this tune quite often.

Of course there is Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds…kind of has a following here in the USA, but still great.

The Weeping Song.

Jumping over to some primo Aussie Hip Hop…I LOVE this song

P.S., C. Superstar, have you been getting any of my PM’s?

Chakra_Superstar · February 12, 2013, 9:57am

Howdy Ms Nat Hope you and family are doing well.
The last PM I got from you was a 'Happy New Year" on December 24 – nothing since…

Love that Graney song, too. My favourite. Too much style and class for one person (who said white people can’t move?)— just “keepin’ it unreal” as he says

I love this Graney track, too. A song he wrote about a rock legend (like Jim Morrison) who hides by becoming a rock and roll star – the last place anyone would expect to find him.

Indie / Folk Rock

Winter People – My Town (Cockatoo Is)
Filmed on an island which was part of the suburb I grew up in. It was such a great place to go exploring as kids. A real island with a real history of convict prisons, WW2 dockyards where they brought in the ships after the big South Pacific battles, horrible stories about what relatives who worked there saw and tales of ghosts… lots of ghost stories

He often likes to finish off his gigs with this smutty Led Zepplin/Howling Wolf cover. I think it’s what musicians call a ‘happy ending’?

PRE-WAR BLUES / JAZZ / JUNGLE / 1920’S CALYPSO

Love this dude’s music. He grew up in a remote Aboriginal community and speaks with a heavy Aboriginal/pigeon English which gives his voice a lazy, gravelly character that’s perfect for the blues.
