[Music] Australian Non Hits Not At The BBC

[Tyrone Biggums]

Yes, they turned up on the programme. Apparently they had an international hit because they had a song on the Guitar Hero video game. I listened to a bit of them, decided that they sounded like Budgie and wound them on.

Most people here thought, that's a Led Zep rip off.

You're right though, often games or movies propel a band into the spotlight above other more talented artists.

Easy listening band, sound more 70's US than Aussie though.

And I sink into my usual pool of melancholy and darkness

Chin up old son. Treat yourself to a good time boogie.

It was a Led Zep copy. I thought Budgie was more insulting. That Grinspoon song's a nice bit of pop punk. My daughters will love it.

The perfect example of don't judge a book by it's cover, looked rough as guts but in reality just a super nice guy.

Where is Icy Gull ? He'd love that Nile Rodgers riff....

And then there was the weird but cult like band TISM.

Nice to hear. I bought Rose Tattoo's first three albums as a kid. At that time anything that sounded remotely like Bon era AC/DC was gold for me. The slide guitar sound on those records was great. I lost touch with them as I lost interest in rock and then thanks to Scott and Charlene's wedding he was suddenly number one over here.

This is where you'll more likely find the indie Aussie bands other than in the charts.

His book Angry – Scarred for Life is worth a read, had a tough life.

I'm off to bed. I seem to be hallucinating.

All these posts and no Paul Kelly. Song writing genius.

Not surprised that he didn’t make the Beeb’s highlights, but sometimes you can’t beat a bit of Kevin Bloody Wilson to put a smile on your face

Dissapointed in the absence of AC/DC
