The Townhouses
Islands can be downloaded for free at http://www.mediafire.com/?yygdjwwzayy In the winter/spring of 2009, the Townhouses released four ambient/instrumental EPs, with the third (The Lost Kagu) released through Perth based label Owls Records. ‘Islands’, the Townhouses’ debut album, is derived from some 60-something demos and is largely the result of Leigh’s interest in ethnomusicology. The Townhouses are more recently largely influenced by gamelan, African, electronic, experimental and ambient music – resulting in a collage of different tonalities and polyphonic textures...
Chaos Kids
Nacional
Nacional are a relaxing indie band from Glasgow not to be confused with The National. They formed in November 2006. They are on the Leeds label Art Goes Pop. Band members are Robert Armstrong, Jamie Hamilton, Michael O’Hara, Jonny McGiffen and Colin Healy.
Glenn Richards
Glenn Richards is singer and songwriter for Australian band Augie March. He has released one solo EP as G A Richards and the Dark Satanic Mills Bros.
Neon Love
Neon Love originated from the dark depths of Ballarats sweet ass music community. Over the past two and a half years Neon Love have developed their repertoire of music through adapting different genres of music and various cliche'd teenage life experiences like girls, parties, no doze, cough meds, sneaking out late at night, holding hands, love and lust and all that lame stuff. They have trashed their equipment at various notable snobby private schools and copped a lot of sh*t from a certain w*nker named Toff (apparently a joy division fan, but cant take it when some one convulses on stage).
Nine Sons of Dan
The Nine Sons Of Dan are an alternate pop-rock group, based in Surfers Paradise, QLD and Coffs Harbour, NSW. Nine Sons Of Dan formed during mid 2008, as a result of drummer Morgan Blake’s need for an engineering project for his university studies. This “project” began first with Morgan and his roommate, fellow Griffith University student Alex Pundyk, writing songs with Alex’s ex-band mate, Jay Bainbridge, from Coffs Harbour. The group began writing in the Gold Coast, where Alex and Morgan currently study.
Wolfmother
Wolfmother is a Grammy Award-winning hard rock band formed in Sydney, New South Wales in 2000. The band originally consisted of Andrew Stockdale (guitar, vocals), Chris Ross (bass, keyboards), and Myles Heskett (drums), though Ross and Heskett left the band in August 2008. With the original line up Wolfmother released one album, Wolfmother, and six singles, the highest-charting of which was "Joker and the Thief" which reached number eight in Australia.
In 2004 Wolfmother began appearing at several high profile music events, such as Homebake and the Big Day Out. They also released their debut self-titled EP through Modular Recordings.
In 2005 the band made their way to Los Angeles, working alongside producer Dave Sardy (of Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Marilyn Manson, and Oasis fame) to record their self-titled debut album, released in October 2005.
In 2006 Wolfmother dominated the Australian Recording Industry Association awards (ARIAs), taking Best Breakthrough Album, Best Rock Album, and Best Group.
In August 2008, after headlining the Splendour in the Grass festival in Byron Bay, Australia, bass/keyboard player Chris Ross and drummer Myles Heskett resigned, leaving just singer/guitarist Andrew Stockdale. Andrew planned to find new musicians before recording another album.
From February 2009 the new line up appeared in two secret gigs under the name Whitefeather. The band officially consists of Dave Atkins on drums, Ian Peres on bass and organ, and Aidan Nemeth as the surprise fourth member and a new guitarist. The new line up's first album, Cosmic Egg, was released in 2009.
Now drummer Dave Atkins has decided to leave the band to spend more time at home with his family; he will be temporarily be replaced by The Mooney Suzuki and Har Mar Superstar drummer Will Rockwell-Scott.
There is only Andrew Stockdale, Chris Ross, and Myles Hessket. The three new guys are only lies. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
