Australian bands... well, we are just over the ditch.
By association, some good New Zealand bands:
The Reduction Agents - They are like the Beatles on acid, really cool.
The Brunettes - Just finished a tour with Rilo Kelly, and before that, The Shins. One of sub-pops latest signings... they will give you a crush, I swear.
The Mint Chicks - Our countries premier post-punk band. Ramones/Buzzcocks fans need apply.
The Shaky Hands - Our countries up-and-coming post-punk band... for fans of Ex-Models, Gang of Four, etc... (
www.theshakyhands.com - they don't have a cd yet, but have some recordings up)
They are all on myspace... have fun!
