They haven't had international hits because what they do is so quintessentially Australian in nature. The imagery, the sound, the band members; it's so relatable to the Australian experience that it just wouldn't work in the US.
And that's part of the reason they're so damn good imo.
Icehouse and Men at Work music was relatable also to Australia and its culture, they made it:lol:
Even in Australia, when they tour, what venues do they use? i'm assuming arenas so they can jam everyone to witness the 'The imagery, the sound, the band members; it's so relatable to the Australian experience':lol:
Mini, they are not great musicians nor song writers, some may think they are but how is that so? Fiona Horne was a better song writer, she wrote about things relating to what she;s passionate about, does that make her a great songwriter? plese tell me what makes a person a great songwriter Minihindy, i think the only reason why you listen to You am I and the Saints is because it's percieved as tasteful and the in thing at Uni:lol: Many Americans believe that Axl rose is the best, why isn't Tim an international celebrity? ffs even Missy Higginshas done more:lol::lol:
