90's Australian music

[carcharias]

I am out of touch these days with kids and stuff...but in the 90's I saw bands every friday sat and sunday nights.
the cruel sea
you am i
tumbleweed
the gurge
jebediah
rail
automtaic
sidewinder
drop city
snout
even
the rhomb
the clouds
the falling joys
the humming birds ( still going I see )
died pretty
hard ons
smudge
shihad
the beasts


it was a golden era.
now ...?
fug knows .... children collide.

Didn't get the gig...lucky they were too far away for me to travel to.

To me they were the pretty much the only Australian band to attempt to really latch onto the whole "Nu-Metal" thing. And yes, I use "Nu-Metal" as a pejorative term.

Whatever happened to Chocolate Starfish?
Now there was a band that was tremendous live.

Saw the lead singer in a covers band in Alice back in 09, then again recently working with Indigenous kids in remote communties. Seemed a top bloke and great performer.

One top band I remember from the nineties in Brisbane was The Toothfaeries. They had a great live show with dancers with hairy armpits. Pretty crazy stuff!
