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’m a fucking furniture removalist from Adelaide. I write down-and-out pop songs. I write songs about every job that I do.”

He is Craig Dermody, well, he writes down-and-out pop songs exactly like Parquet Courts. Bored, melanholic, sometimes angry, simple, beautiful. This song is taken from his 3rd album Mid Thirties Single Scene. It has been released in September by Fire Records (UK).

Euro tour is going to start this month: UK, Holland, Germany, Spain, France.

Craig’s band is Scott & Charlene’s Wedding, named about a golden act of an Australian soap oper Neighbours, when Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan got married in 1987.

And here is the old bandcamp page with the old albums, and you can find there his best song Footscray Station.

És kedves magyar olvasó, ennek a „Neighbours”-nak lett hazai változata a Szomszédok néven ismert szocio-horror.
