I love Tame Impala.

The Vines around the debut album were great.

Aussie bands I have seen recently include Royal Headache, Scott & Charlene's Wedding and Hockey Dad. All good.

As been mentioned: The Clean.

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/v/2r0SFlfRF9s" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="bbc_link bbc_flash_disabled new_win">https://www.youtube.com/v/2r0SFlfRF9s</a>

Tonight (18 April 2017)the Taite Music Prize will present The Clean with the Independent Music Classic NZ Record award for their 1981 EP Boodle Boodle Boodle. Hussein Moses talked to the band and those involved to dig up the inside story of a record that became a New Zealand indie music legend.

It was a defining moment in New Zealand music history. In September 1981, The Clean – brothers David and Hamish Kilgour, and Robert Scott – entered a makeshift studio in Auckland’s Arch Hill and emerged with Boodle Boodle Boodle, one of the country’s landmark records that would soon put Dunedin music on the map.

Perfectly crafted pop songs about lost love, death, necrophilia and tribal sacrifice.

Followed them around most of the pubs and local festivals in Sydney during the 80/90s. Great band live.

Excellent. I've only seen them in the UK - in Bristol (must have been in the 90s) and at Glastonbury (much later, probably 00s). I remember they opened the second stage on the sunday morning so you can imagine what state everyone was in, but they still managed to pull a decent and enthusiastic crowd. As you say, they were immaculate as live performers.

My best friend was 15 years old when Stone Age Romeos hit the streets. She had the hots for lead guitarist Brad Sheppard. 30 years later he's living in the apartment block next to her and her husbands with his wife and kid in Sydney's Eastern Suburbs. Small world.

A fairly new arrival on the music scene, a great person and a bit of a party anthem that I hope catches on:
