[BOTB] BotB IX: Taz is Homesick - Please Help!

2/12 in.

Hopefully everyone remaining will have the opportunity to have a listen and vote over the weekend.

 

These two bands have quite a following in australia

 

Another great OZ band,they were my 2nd choice,could have gone them in the last BOTB's 80's comp too.

 

Voted,

Something interesting about both grand finalists is other work the vocalists have been involved in.

Andrew Stockdale (Wolfmother) did vocals for a song on a slash album


Whilst Rob and Gareth from Pendulum formed an electronic dance group called knife party who did a song with Swedish House Mafia

 

Hope so! I think it will be quite close. Contrasting styles which should make it interesting. I would love to see both bands live.

What's the geography of the bands been like? From all over Australia or mostly the major cities? East to West, North to South? Finalists are from Sydney and Perth, can't ask for greater range than that.

 

Class tune that 2nd track.

Couple of other contenders although one is a one hit wonder but great tune.

 

Heard Knife Party a few times and never knew they were Pendulum members.

 

Definitely a good spread geography wise
Iggy - From little town at the top of NSW
Silverchair - Newcastle (near Sydney)
Pendulum - Perth
The Church - Sydney
Karnivool - Perth
Nick Cave - Melbourne
Bee Gees - Brisbane (I think)
Easy Beats - Sydney
Kylie - Melbourne
Crowded House - Melbourne
Seekers - Melbourne
ACDC - Sydney
Wolfmother - Sydney
Rose Tattoo - Sydney
Tame Impala - Perth

Perth and Sydney Feature mostly

I actually picked Silverchair because they're a band from my home town/I had just gotten back into them on spotify

I have been lucky enough to see Wolfmother live and throughly enjoyed it

 

The beards are great, they are a comedy band with every song about beards. They are quite good live as well.

 

And of course Kevin Wilson,Santa Claus wheres me * bike and do you * on first date

 

Nice one thanks. That is a good representation of the country. Perth seems to produce electronic based bands?

I didn't realise you are an Aussie Good band Silverchair.

How did you get into Celtic?

Cool that you got to see Wolfmother live, they have a great rock n roll vibe.

 

Perth produces some great Metal bands as well like Voyager and tangled thoughts of leaving.

I saw highlights of a game when I was young and loved the atmosphere the fans made so looked into the club more and just fell in love with Celtic

 

Voted

 

Tangled Thoughts of Leaving is such a great name for a band. Seem quite relaxed trippy metal, it's nice.

I like how you connected with Celtic

Must be cool having an Aussie as one of our best players too.

 

Even back in the 90's Perth had a pretty strong local scene, with the likes of Jebediah, Eskimo Joe & Something For Kate etc. Back then Melbourne was definitely the place to be though, with even bands who were from elsewhere moving there for various reasons. Sydney's local scene, for example, was being completely decimated by the pokie invasion with many venues reasoning they could make a whole heap more money with them than by having those spaces for bands, which meant many acts opting to move down south.

 

Voted.

 

Only liked 1 of the songs in the final.
