I like Gang of Youths who I'm pretty sure are Stralian.

Silverchair.
Jimmy Barnes
The Angels (from Angel city)
Screaming Jets
Kylie.

The Fuckers are everywhere.

You will be glad to know that Men Without Hats are Canadian.

And AC/DC are most definitely Aussie. Well they were until Bon Scott topped himself and they took up U.K. Citizenship and hired a Geordie....

Chicago: Global.

I already told you Australia's two best bands, it's Amyl & The Sniffers and Parkway Drive.

Nah, its Stiff Richards.

Cliff Richard tribute act featuring hard core pornography?

I am going to throw You Am I into the mix. Especially their earlier power pop stuff.
And early Bon Scott AC/DC are surely just as grafting pub rock as any and, technically, Scots as much as anything.

Also, going back a bit, The Easybeats. Who (unsurprisingly, as it’s the Young’s uncle IIRC) sound like a proto-DC.

All right fine, but fucking Jet? And while we're at it, Airbourne can fuck off as well. As can Wolfmother.

My friend played in a band based in Detroit for awhile and (especially when I think about the many bands I absolutely love from that city) I was horrified to learn that many people there are extremely possessive of [whispers] Kid fucking Rock.

I once accidentally saw Kid Rock. It was awful.

Jesus wept. I genuinely feel sorry for you. Not even as a dare. Utterly awful. There’s not a band mentioned yet that even comes close to that bottom of the barrel shit.

To be fair I only really know 1 song and of that song I'm only in it for the first 80 seconds or so. Belting intro though.

I did see them live once but I was so drunk the only thing I can remember from the evening is accusing some aussie bastard of stealing my hat.

It was a corporate box thing. I had a client wanting to go and I wasn't really aware of how awful an individual he was, or how terrible his music is (in fairness it was at least 12 years ago so I don't think he'd really exposed the full level of his cuntitude at that point).

I remember there was a lot of pyrotechnics, and there were pole dancers on stage, and I was wearing a suit which was incredibly incongruous every time I left the box. And I remember how incredibly cynical and manufactured and unpleasant the whole thing felt.

I would rather see Jet play a three hour set than go to another Kid Rock show. I would actually rather pay to see Jet than go to Kid Rock for free again.

Jason Williamson appears to be going through a minor existential crisis. 48 hours ago:

And then 12 hours ago:

I mean it's all very healthy but those two emails one after the other were quite a jump.

@chicago Twisted Sister announced a 50th anniversary tour next year.
