Based on the thread, there’s more we’d like to see! Also a good few attendees from down under that may be able to recommend some we aren’t as familiar with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crowded House in 2022 was also fun. Tame Impala in 2016 was epic but didn't see them when they headlined the Other. He has his own thread but going to shout out Nick Cave too Crowded House were great in 22, loads of fun.and Finn's voice was spot on. We'll skip over the weird bit where he got his grandson to scream into the mic... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just spun In Camera five times in a row, that's excellent stuff. I’m a little biased as the drummer is my cousin but Yumi Zouma are great. Really come to life live too, hopefully they’ll be on these shores in the next year. My other shout is for The Beth’s another great band live.

They are incredible live and the recent line-up rejig has added a whole new energy. They tour pretty much every year and always visit the UK. I love them. Big fan too. My housemate got me in to them when I lived in NZ. Managed to see them a few times but not since the line up changes. 2 hours ago, MrHew said: Fat Freddy's Drop have played previously. Mid 2000s on the then Jazz World. Not sure if they've been back since. Don't think they have, which is odd as they seem to come to Europe most summers. Saw them a few times in New Zealand. Not sure who's still going out of these but would regularly see Salmonella Dub, Katchafire, Phoenix Foundation and Kora. Think Katchafire might have played Glastonbury. Another vote for The Beths too although never managed to see them live. The Teskey Brothers from Melbourne also good. Have seen them here before, don't think it was Glastonbury. Possibly Bearded Theory? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quark Posted 13 hours ago Report Share Posted 13 hours ago I'd forgotten about Royel Otis until they popped up on 6Music Roundtable earlier. Guitar indie pop from Sydney. Actually sound a lot like The Beths from a distance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctrlaltdl8 Posted 11 hours ago Report Share Posted 11 hours ago From an NZ perspective: The Beths (thought they would have played this year since they played Coachella and were tourimg with Alvvays) Avantdale Bowling Club, or any other group that Tom Scott has been in (Hip Hop) LEISURE Hans Pucket Fazerdaze Soaked Oats Soft Plastics Troy Kingi Unfortunately NZ seems to gripped by a taste for below average DNB and terrible commercial radio stations which seem to do nothing to promote new kiwi music Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When somebody says Australian bands, I do tend to jump to Midnight Oil. Saw the first London show on the reunion run in 2017 (?) - which was great, but also annoying because three weeks later, they played an incredibly undersold show at the same venue where they did Diesel and Dust in full - and then at the Roundhouse on the farewell run. Think the latter date shaded it - probably goes into the all-timer list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I’d say Six60 is probably the only band that would be capable of selling out a stadium here. I think they’ve struggled to break out of NZ though - don’t recall seeing them on any Australian festival line ups or anything. Benee though would be one of the bigger breakout stars from the last few years and has gone on to headline festivals in Aus. Not entirely sure what she’s been up to recently though. L.A.B had a moment a couple of years ago but was pretty derivative stuff and got massively overplayed. Far Freddy’s Drop will always be a big drawcard and will always be a solid subheadline shout. Likewise for Shapeshifter. Both of whom have been around for over 20 years now so definitely local legends Edited 1 hour ago by ctrlaltdl8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just played a sold-out run of small venues here - Manchester's Night and Day, and the like. Believe they could go slightly larger in the London market if they wanted, but one of those who would be fortunate to sell out Brixton, I'd think.
