lol - well I guess any Australians out there might predict on these guys...just because they're not in the states don't mean they don't exist!!

in any case, the Australian music scene is very impressive - i'd suggest you check out the clips on the website

I listened to all of people nominated in questions asked about the ARIA Awards because I have never heard any of their stuff. The Living End, White noise is really good.
Gabrielle Cilmi is impressive also. I was surprised when I actually read how young she was. When first listening to her I wouldn't have come close to guessing her age.

Tisha has a point: just because we don't hear the outback in the US doesn't mean that they don't exist.

I just listened to all five clips and quite like Nick Cave and DIG LAZARUS DIG...Hey, I can relate to Larry making his nest in the Autumn branches...and while I don't like rap, I do like this...

good one guys - i'm hoping to slowly convert the world to australian music!

@sd - we must have the same taste, the living end were my absolute favourite band of all time when i was a teenager ... then my brother ends up going to school with their manager's son and gets to go backstage (and doesn't invite me!).

And gabrielle cilmi is all the rage in Australia at the moment (and quite popular in europe too) - she's got the most aria nominations this year.

Hey, Thanks Mork! Where do I sign up?

I've already decided on my stage name: "Ridiculis". ("Ludicris" was already taken...)

Dig, Lazarus, Dig! (I need the money).

Also, if anyone likes CLASSICAL MUSIC, the ARIA Awards material looks pretty good, and surprisingly specialized...Two thumbs up!
