well the bodyrockers were terrible and so is this :up:

however according to my mag, Australia is supposed to have a great musical heritage years and years ago with the Go-Betweens and The Triffids releasing brilliant and inventive indierock!!! (the triffids being a recent cult heros band in the mag with 5 stars rating for their records) So do you know them, have you heard of any of their records and if so who was better?

never heard of them.... how old are they?

 

well i guess that your refering to the triffids here as obv if your a music fan you will have heard of the go-betweens at least in connection with the death of Grant McLennan in May

 

the triffids were active from 1978 to 1989 according to wikifans while Born Sandy Devotional (86) and Calenture (87) get a five star rating on page 32 of this month's uncut with in the pine (86) getting 4 stars and David McComb's solo album Love Of Will (94) getting 4 stars as well.

 

McComb died on Feb 2nd 1999.

Neither, Split Enz/Crowded House/The Finn Brothers were best!

 

actually from New Zealand (split eNZ i suppose), but at least it gives us chance to laugh at what people in Auckland look like :down: :down:
