what is this band?

[SkeeK]

I think it was here that I read about them, but can't remember for sure. An australian (i think) band that plays kinda technoy stuff that's pretty hard with some rock undertones (or maybe overtones) and I think they were featured on some TV show or other.. they may have 2 or 3 albums, and are really big in OZ with big live shows, but not much action elsewhere.

Anyone have any idea what/whom I'm speaking of?

 

[Zoomerang96]

you must be talking about the future of rock...

JET!!!!!!!!

 

[Zoots]

Well... Jet is not techno-y in any stretch of imagination. And don't they have just one album out?

 

[Zoomerang96]

i said they're the future of rock, and i stand by that.

u2fan2004!

Disco Montego?

I have no idea. Can you recall any of the lyrics? The name of the TV show? or the kind of TV show? Australian Idol? or Neighbours? or...

 

[SkeeK]

i can't recall anything else really.. they kinda sounded a bit like primal scream with a bit of a less crappy linkin park. definitely vocal oriented.. and supposedly i have one or two of their albums on my computer as i downloaded them and listened to them but now i can't find 'em among my 30k odd mp3s and perhaps i never will

 

[beli]

A male singer then?

 

[SkeeK]

i thiiink so. there may have been multiple singers.. sorry my info is so useless. Umm I think Iremember that it was the 5-8th song or so on the newer album that was featured on something. think a show soundtrack.. and is thus their well-known show. dagh.. all i know is useless and potentially wrong anyway.. but much thanks for all the help

 

[beli]

Multiple singers at the same time? Or a different singer for different songs/albums?

Youre clues aren't useless. Keep going.

 

[lmjhitman]

[Down Under]

I am thinking Spiderbait.

Have a look here for popular Aussie bands. http://www.aussiebands.com.au/australian_rock_and_pop.htm

 

[Angela Harlem]

I was going to say Spiderbait. They have a male and female singer, but on different tracks. They also seem to diversify quite a lot. They've been described as everything from rock to punk to pop. No techno kind of stuff though.


SkeeK next time you're on slsk I'll send you some stuff.

 

[Angela Harlem]

You are the SkeeK on my list aren't you?
Nevermind if you're not lol.

 

[timothius]

I'm sure it's TISM...

We can rule out Crowded House, Shihad & Split Enz... they're not Australian.

Jet...the future of rock? More like the past...

 

[Angela Harlem]

TISM! :clap:

too underrated

 

[AcrobatMan]

if you remember the lyrics or part of it....

type that in google...also type australia if you are sure they are australian....

if that returns nothing..its not worth bothering... well most of the time anyway

 

[AcrobatMan]

may be 2 bands ..and 1 song... something like that

 

[timothius]

Quick thought, could it be....Hi-5?
