Australian New Wave Bands

Postby Kusee Pee » Wed Feb 28, 2007 6:37 am

I'm looking to extend my knowledge of Australian New Wave bands simply as a way of discovering new music. I'm keen to stray off the beaten track rather than anything largely commercial. I'm a big fan of:

Icehouse - a little patchy but some awesome albums
Pseudo Echo - Autumnal Park is one of the great New Romantic albums
The Expression - how badly overlooked was this group?

Can anyone recommend other avenues for me to pursue along similar sounds to the above? Cheers for letting the knowledge spill forth [:D]

Boy was that huge over here. Did they ever have a follow-up hit? if not.. they may be good contenders for the one hit wonders thread ;-)

They did release another song, but it was no hit. One song was "Never" which was on the "Footloose" Soundtrack. But they never outshone their "What About Me"[:D][:D][:D]
