Australian Music Scene (3 Viewers)

[biggles04]

This evening I was involved in a discussion on MSN. It was a simple discussion. People just happened to turn to a conversation of what they were listening to, which turned to their favourite artists, and to my shock horror and absolute disgust, they did not name one decent artist. They simply named commercialised, mass promoted, mass produced artists who possess very-little-to-absolutely-no-talent what so ever.

This pissed me off so fucking much that I went and made a list of every AUSTRALIAN artist I could think of that deserves a mention from the almighty Biggles, king of the music industry.

I pulled out every single CD I own and to my little suprise, well over three quarters of my collection is, in fact, Australian.

So, without further ado, my list of notable Australian artists that you fuckwits should try to support once in a while;

Conservatorium of Music (where the Botanic Gardens are) East Recital Hall, 6:30pm, gold coin entry (cuz we dont give a shit, we're not famous yet) I think it's also going to have some "What's On" ad in some newspaper, I'm not sure, most of this is all so sudden.

It's all contemporary, avante garde music.
