Alright, time for some discussion on what yr all listening too. My iTunes inventory is getting a little stale so I'm up for some inspiration.

Currently loving The Drones' album "Havilah".. incredible songwriting and some of the best recorded guitars and drum I've heard in a long time. I'm a little late to the party with this album but it's on high rotation at the moment and will probably stay there a while. I've seen these guys live once (Fowlers, Adelaide) and fortunately they're incredible on stage too. Can't wait to see them again.

tbb must be the only one not knowing of this next cover...now its #1 News.
It is pretty freaky but buys into JJJ cross marketing MSM...Hottest news within itself.
In fact...outraged boomers aren't buying it (vs) JJJ Youth are stoked...it is really funny though!
Wiggles B side : Blue Meanies...Yummy! Yummy!

Good choice icandig. Such an amazing journey for them too.
I know people who played gigs with them when Jeremy had an episode. Hard times for him and them. Good to see them gigging again every now and then.
These guys were pretty good too, bit more US than Oz but based in Sydney.

Lovin it. Haven't heard the Sunnyboys in ages ,
A mate who lives opposite a beach carpark had the Psychos blaring when the crowds started to leave today. He turned this one right up when some knob, in a black RAM who parked half way across his driveway for several hours, came back to collect his tonka 'truck'..

Can't wait till the tourists bugger off and I can enjoy a midweek Schnitty in peace.

Haha. Classic!!! And definitely one of Oz's finest bands. First time i heard them was on an old Rusty vid, R.Rated, to footage of Pipe. Fuck, it might have even been one of the old HIC pros.

How ironic - I started this thread almost ten years ago (28 Feb 2012) with a post about The Drones.

And last night I drove to Brisbane to watch Tropical Fuck Storm, who were unreal.

Lotta driving though for one gig, won't be doing that again. I ain't twenty two any more.

What’s an indoor rock gig atmosphere like in these times, Ben?

Atmosphere was about the same (i.e. unreal), most people wearing masks if they didn't have a drink, but didn't seem to matter.

Had forgotton how wonderful a good wall o' noise sounded, when played by the right band.

Sorry. I kind of started a theme and disappeared. Here's a couple for you....first a surf song - lyrics to live by (Give it a chance - at least to the chorus) . Second a skate song -an old favourite.
