If you ever get stuck in 7 degrees of kevin bacon you just revert to Bowden. I've met a whole bunch of musos through hospo and nightclub connections. Nate Campbell (Gudinski's DJ protege), Rob Caggiano and Volbeat to name a couple. I see a bunch of the guys from Taxiride regularly. Lots of AFL players, the North Melbourne footballers used to come into one of my old bars on Mad Monday. The guys I meet through the strip clubs are always the interesting ones though :lol: I was partying with the owner of CQ and a couple of his import buddies last weekend. Man what happened with those guys. They were a solid band..made some good hits....then they disappeared off the face of the planet. Drugs. The Bassist wrote a lot of their songs and he's a smackhead. Such a shame...they were a good band. i still listen to their songs. I think their main hit was featured on that Matthew Broderick movie.

Then the Bassist wrote this one, got fucked up on heroin (he took it up because his favourite musos did, go figure)...by the time they made the album he'd been kicked out of the band

On the subject of Aussie Bands, I listened to 1927 do a live gig on youtube (Im pretty sure) and the lead singer still sounds exactly the same.
They're doing pub gigs at the moment. They were another great Aussie Band.
I thought Bachelor Girl was ok too. They had some good hits.

He was a man of specific quirks. He believed that all meals should be earned through physical effort. He also contended, zealously like a drunk with a political point, that the third dimension would not be possible if it werent for the existence of water.

Memories of Taxiride include getting up at ridiculous hours of a Saturday morning and watching ' Creeping Up Slowly on Rage. IIRC it was on in-between Vanessa Carlton's 'thousand miles', and 'Tenacious D's 'Tribute'. 'Dem memories.

Creepin' Up Slowly and Get Set were classics! Such a shame that Taxiride and Killing Heidi dropped off the scene from that era. Both awesome bands.

We have such a strong industry over here, and it's only getting better right now for those of us who enjoy alternative and indie/folk music.

To be honest though I think it was Savage Garden and Silverchair who really broke through the US market for the Aussies. Prior to that it was a struggle in particular for the Aussie bands in the early 90s. I remember Johnny Diesel was one guy I thought who was way underrated for an artist and deserved more plaudits for his music.
