Kirin J Callinan is amazing. I reckon he'll be Australia's next big music export.

needs more Perth artists

>>72767227
Agreed, I made this chart and not too familiar with Perth artists

>>72766985
Nah

You Am I
Agents Of Abhorrence
Dave Graney
Disembowelment
Nick Cave
Psycroptic
The Middle East

come from the place but I think most of us actually interested enough in music cast our ear elsewhere or get used to the shitty aussie hip hop or indie pop they push on most stations including triple J. Also the state of New York spread out over a country makes it hard to find out who good local acts are so either utter shit or critical darlings usually get pushed. You Am I are considered to be like the Australian Kinks or Rolling Stones in country yet elsewhere and on /mu/ no one gives a shit, they just care about muh avalanches or muh king gizzard or the latest Nick Cave. If you havn't listened to Hi Fi Way by You Am I you're missing out.

>>72767986
Hell even Anthony Fantano was blahing on about that Aussie Rock record he picked up on Record Store Day made by kids being all like "what a snap shot, wonder what they're doing now" not realizing one of them is fucking Ben Lee who got signed by The Beastie Boys label not long after that. People outside of Australia know dick about Australian music

>>72767607
Here's some I like, variety of genres there from synth punk, drone metal, house, downtempo, psych rock, post-rock

Methyl Ethel is signed onto 4AD, not sure if that exempts them from being "underground" though

>>72768343

How did you find about all these artists?
Perth feels so bland culturally
had no Idea this kind of music was being made here.

Fdel
Flow Dynamics
The Bamboos

>>72766429
>Not one of those bands is from Perth

>>72769307
Go to local shows and follow stuff promoted by RTRFM and Cool Perth Nights

>>72769307
dude all of those bands are friends, it's weird, Perth is like a small town city, it's great

>>72769057
What was his trip?
I remember I was at a rave once and Tourist Kid said to me something like "I once thought you were a bit of a dick but now I think you're alright because you support local music"
Still confused about what he meant by that to this day

>>72769375
There are, though

>>72769395
Any upcoming shows you would recommend?
Keen to check someones stuff out then see them live

>>72769465
That's pretty funny, id take it as a compliment.

>>72769639
Drowning Horse is playing a show at the Rosemount on the 28th, they're pretty massive sounding if you're into drone metal type stuff, they only do like one show a year too

Anyone else get all nostalgic and chuck on 90s JJJ hottest 100 albums? They're mostly intact on youtube.

Normie music was pretty great back then

>Perth is like a small town city
I came to this realisation just last night when I was watching an interview with that girl from 13 Reasons Why where she said that on Friday nights she would like to sit near that large screen in Northbridge and watch people go into clubs, which I have also done, and I was thinking whoa Perth is fucking tiny

my mate is in a weird like 9 or 10 member, lo-fi band called mouseatouille. lo-fi noisey vibes. kinda biting neutral milk hotel a bit but not many people in aus really do that besides that smith street band cunt so it's still kind of interesting. i dont think they have any material out online yet but I've heard some of the stuff that he's recording / been to a gig and it's pretty cool. all really shit gritty home recordings, none of that typical polish and reverb that all the aus 'lo-fi' artists put on their shit.

>>72766429
We Lost The Sea. Crimea and Departure Songs are fucking amazing.

>>72767227
agreed

>>72770121
I'm rectifying this, more recommendations welcome before I make version 1.1.

>>72769057
I always thought so, explains a whole lot when Ive spoken to him

>>72770148
make sure to add Erasers >>72769730

>>72770121
>>72767227
I'm gonna add Tangled Thoughts of Leaving, Craig McElhinney, Lower Spectrum, Drowning Horse, and maybe Methyl Ethyl.

>>72769465
he was Gaspard. you can probably still find his old eps in the archives unless the mediafie links are dead.

>>72767986
The Middle East are fucking amazing

>>72770204
Replace methyl ethyl with mt. Mountain i would say

this is probably a good place to ask, i've been meaning to get into Forces, anyone got a dl for some of their stuff?

Australia is a prison continent so all their music is shit

melb indie music scene is mostly a cesspool but i go see / listen to my friend's bands. some off the top of my head are:

GOD$ - quite textured and nice

firstkiss - really badly eq'd lo-fi recordings but good songwriting and much better live. newest song was better quality.

wilfred - amazing lo-fi music imo, really interesting production.

mouseatouille - mentioned earlier, cool to see live bc they pack members on stage and play a lot of toy instruments. guy from firstkiss is in the band so somewhat similar songwriting.

good morning - really nice and funny guys, great catchy tunes.

what are some good under-underground melb bands? i'm mainly into lo-fi and noisey kinda stuff and i never really hear anything that is super cool when i go to gigs.

>melb indie music scene is mostly a cesspool

There is so much talent and variety out there if you are open minded. I really think you should keep looking

give me some names : ) mainly talking under-underground bc that's the scene i'm in ahah. obviously there are some great melb bands but a lot of the gig bands that play around melb at the gigs i go to are garagey-gizzy-beer-drinkin bands or indie pop bands.

i looove supporting local music tho so ill check out any bands that you'd suggest : )

I think you're just following the wrong path - take the time and go through the OP chart, there is a lot of incredible melb acts there. No Zu, Friendships, Kirkis, Corin and Lost Animal are all a good start. TOM TOM does good shows at Howler. These acts don't fuck around with supports / other artists they share a stage with, so follow from there I suppose.
