Best Australian band ever and very likely best band ever. fact.

I think not.

the only authentic, genuine, pure pop star in the last thirty years. Great hair, great cheekbones, great drug habit, early death.
Without this song the entire continent of Australia is completely pointless (with apologies to Ricky Ponting...)

the odd thing is that the rest of the band are such complete dorks

Scottish or Australian?

Founded in Australia by a few Scotts... so defo an Australian band... Scottish if one applies FA rules.

Gong are technically an Anglo/French group... but the founder, front man, conceptual brain and main driving force, Daevid Allen is definitely an Aussie... here he is:



edit... just found another recent video... this time backed by the nearest we can get to the original Gong line up... he makes his entrance at around 2mins 40secs... what an outfit!!!

...he's in his seventies you know

I know we already had some Go-Betweens, but you could fill the whole thread with their songs. And this one is my favourite of all (given that I can't listen to Bachelor Kisses any more for very deeply personal reasons):

Or second-rate Jim Morrison impersonator? Nick Cave's little finger has more star quality in it.

With that vid, it's the striped sunlight sound writ large. Magical stuff.

Yebbut, Robert Forster of the Go-Betweens had his own published hair-care column!
