I thought a Dutch Kiwi was an actual type of kiwi fruit.

 

Sounds tasty. This is my fave of theirs if anyone likes the cut of their jib.

Didn't mind that at all. Needs a few more spins.

Wodonga is on the VIC/NSW border, close to the main Melbourne-Sydney trunk road. It doesn't have much going for it, but this might do the job.

I'm really enjoying this Melbourne trio Glass Beams:

Thank you for all the contributions on here by the way, I've been popping a song or two from each into a playlist for my own perusal.

Care to share? 🙂

Don't think we've touched on The Living End, but saw them down under last year too. Quite the raucous bunch.

Meanwhile, if you're looking for the nation's answer to Coldplay-esque, Imagine Dragons-style MOR pop rock anthems, it's probably Birds of Tokyo - a very solid live act, with a few cuts of hooky excellence amid the usual duffers.

Not really Glasto fare, but holy sh*t that recent Parkway Drive tour looked insane. Wouldn't call myself a fan but definitely on my list of bands to see live now

If the festival ever goes harder, they could do worse than stick them mid-afternoon on somewhere.

God yeah. It'd be fascinating to see where they'd put em - they're not too far away from Turnstile (who were absolutely bloody great) or the bounciness of Amyl, so Woodsies seems to be about the right size perhaps - or the Truth stage (is it called Peace these days? i forget - but they do put on some splendidly heavy stuff) but thats a bit of a pain with the through traffic at the back causing crowd issues. 

[NorthernSoul52]

Speaking of Amyl...

Ally Pally is such a bastard to get away from - i cant get back to my last train so its a writeoff as a venue for me unless i'm staying in london. Shame, cos Amyl are great live

A great venue only for people in London.

 

AO Arena Manchester may be a shed, but it remains terrific for anyone on the train from Liverpool to Leeds.

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!

 

 

 

Huge fan of this and discovered their cover of 'Linger' from it. Thanks for sharing!

Ahh yes! I saw these lot supporting Seasick Steve about 10 years ago but had completely forgot about their existence! They were quality though, thanks for giving my memory a shake!
