There are some important Aussie bands, one of them is SCOTT & CHARLENE’S WEDDING. After 3 years a new EP WHEN IN ROME, CARPE DIEM is coming. When I have listened this song from it first, I contentedly observed that yeah, perfect as always: fine indie trash pop, this time like Velvet Undeground:

SCOTT & CHARLENE’S WEEDING was started some years years before in Footscray, Melbourne by Craig Dermody (a fucking furniture removalist from Adelaide) who writes down-and-out pop songs. Anyway the band was named about a golden act of an Australian soap oper Neighbours, when Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan got married in 1987.

“I would believe only in a god who could dance. And when I saw my devil I found him serious, thorough, profound, and solemn: it was the spirit of gravity – through him all things fall.”

 The creator seeks fellow-creators – those who grave new values on new law-tablets.”

“The state, I call it, where all are poison-drinkers, the good and the bad: the state, where all lose themselves, the good and the bad: the state, where the slow suicide of all — is called „life.” Just see these superfluous ones! They steal the works of the inventors and the treasures of the wise. Culture, they call their theft — and everything becometh sickness and trouble unto them! Just see these superfluous ones! Sick are they always; they vomit their bile and call it a newspaper. They devour one another, and cannot even digest themselves.”

To live on the outskirts, still isolated in the digital age from outside trends and current sounds as Australian musician Dusty Anastassiou. His band is DAG. Dag means the dried faeces left dangling from the wool on a sheep’s rear end, but also refers to being unfashionable, eccentric and fool-like.

Debut album Benefits of Solitude on Bedroom Suck Records (AUS), Omnian Music Group (US) and Cargo Direct (UK)

Beautiful, cold, warm, psych, noisey, drunky, urban folk tunes from and by LOWER PLENTY. It is a suburb of Melbourne and also a band

Its members are from e.g. Total Control, The UV Race, Dick Diver or Terry. About their music I could write that sometimes like VU and Nico, but I do not want to write it, so forget it. This song is taken their 4th album Sister, Sister out now on Bedroom Suck Records (AUS). It was recorded in a kitchen of another suburb of Melbourne, Collingwood.

On that place which is today Lower Plenty the first settler was a Hungarian political immigrant Sigismund Wekey in the mid of the 19th century. He was a lawyer, but during the revolutiuon and war of independence of Hungary in 1848/49 he became a captain and adjutant of the political leader Kossuth. After the fall he went to London, learnt mining, and wrote the first Hungarian grammar for the English people.

He arrived in Australia in his late 20s. On the site which is today Lower Plenty he purchased land as a manager of a shareholder company he founded with a vision to start the wine industry of Melbourne, but the company went to bankruptcy within two years. During this time he was the secretary of Philosophical Society (later Philosophical Institute) of state Victoria. But because the cost of the society’s publications were paid by himself for two years finally he resigned.

He also was a correspondent of some journals, later registrar and postmaster of a gold mining town Gaffneys Creek. He applied for patents of some mining machineries, and became a director of the Aladdin and Try-Again United Gold Mining Co., but he was placed under charge of conspiracy with his two co-directors in 1870. He was sentenced and spent one year in gaol where he wrote a pamphlet about the elastic laws and the political corruption which endangered of the liberty of the subject, titled The Institution Of The Land We Live In. After his release he left Australia, travelled around the world with his family, and finally settled in Budapest.

Your Heaven, Your Rules by Tasmanian poet Peter Escott from Native Cats (The Fall/Suicide-like minimal wave bass/synth duo).  He plays piano and operates the most user friendly electronics.

It’s taken from his solo album The Long O on Bedroom Suck Records (Aus)

On the basis of Lower Plenty’s songs I can think that Australia is somewhere in Scotland. Sweet songs for rainy, foggy, boring days. Perfect for the place that is called Lower Plenty (suburb of Melbourne).

from the album Life/Thrills on Bedroom Suck Records (Aus)

Suburban people! See John Waters’ films!

„I wasn’t always a model citizen, but I always played music.” – Dan McGee

Spider Bags is a rock’n’roll band. It’s got a bit of a country and two bit of blues influence. The main figure, the songwriter Dan McGee started playing guitar when he was really little because of Blind Lemon Jefferson (blues musician, 1893-1929). His favourite songwriters are three delta blues musician: Skip James (1902-69), Robert Johnson (1911-38), Tommy Johnson (1896-1956)  and Lou Red. He don’t have any kind of training, and  didn’t really even start playing shows for a long time, until he was in his late twenties, then his band has become a favorite of the garage rock scene. The forth album will be released soon, and I’m very curious because he „wanted to make a record that sounded like a classic rock record, that was mixed like the old AC/DC records, or like Dark Side Of The Moon.”

Among the many favorite songs of RNR666 there is a Spider Bags’ forever green, Hey Delinquents!

Clag formed in 1991 as a psychotic kiddie punk band in Australia. They disbanded in 1995. They have left three singles and a legend. There was a reunion recently and a 7″ vinyl will be released on 19 April with two new tracks and new live recordings.

There was another legendary band in the 90s. It was called Nirvana. Yeah, they did some good tracks at that time. There were some hits and finally a shot. Now here is their last studio album In Utero from covers. The songs are played for example by Ceremony, Thursday, Pigmy Lush, Young Widows, Jay Reatard, Mean Jeans.

Here are two opinions of customers:
„Why would you take crappy artists and try to do a classic album. Ugh at least try to make the songs sound good. Horrible”
„I don’t write review too often, but after listening to this garbage I felt compelled to. There is nothing good about this album.”

”if Lady Gaga wanted to collab with us,

we would almost definitely say yes, although the result would probably make for rugged listening.” Blank Realm – Reach You On The Phone

from the album Grass Inn by Bedroom Suck (Aus) and Fire Records (US)

Bedroom hip-hop with taste of noise punk by the multi-instrumentalist experimental rapper, Signor Benedick The Moor, who arrived from the metal/hc scene. „The name comes from two places, both Shakespearean, Benedick is the main character in Much Ado About Nothing, and I identify with him on a personal level as someone who will in the future be jaded because of his past experiences with love. He is also very witty and I like to think the same of myself. The second, the Moor, comes from the characters Aaron the Moor and Othello, both outsiders because of their skin color. I’ve felt like an outsider since I began to form my self-awareness, because of my half-white, half-black heritage, and because I always seemed to think so much differently than everyone else.”

by the experimental noise label, Deathbomb Arc

The Blank Realm is a very open minded and amazing psychedelic rock band from the fantastic Aussie underground scene. „if Lady Gaga wanted to collab with us, we would almost definitely say yes, although the result would probably make for rugged listening.”

I thought I’m a garage rock specialist, because I instantly recognized that Martyr Privates is a British minimal psych garage rock band, but it’s Aussie. Well, I have to listen to the languege better. You Can’t Stop Progress

from their self-titled debut album by Bedroom Suck in March 2014.

You can listen to a single

The Bitch Prefect list Pavement and the Rolling Stones as two of their influences. In their boredom and apathy they deliver an encyclopedic exploration of time, space and rare Australian birds. Lil’ musical ornithology for everybody:
