the best bands from Australia.
Karnivool
the butterfly effect.
I worked on a video clip for Butterfly Effect...man they were really up themselves and this was very early days too, not bad live though.
i wouldnt care if they are up them selves or not. make good music thats about as much as i care, lol.
but i think Karnivool is my top pick for most underated, as the lead singers side project "Birds of tokyo" is famous as hell these days and make shithouse music. i guess the upside to Birds of tokyo is he isnt producing that mainstream shit under Karnivool.
i dont think you could call any thing Nick Cave has been in underrated, the guy is a superstar in the music world from the beginning to now. i cant call my self a complete fan of nick cave but there are songs of his i find really cool, but I wouldn't dispute any one who says he is a legend as he has earned a title like that, He will go down as one of the greats i recon. funny thing about nick cave is, he gets bugger all air play, but is famous as hell. thats cool in my opinion, he doesn't need his songs played to death every day on the radio and to be seen as one of Australia's or even a world wide music great.
he is also a bloody good director, "The Proposition" was a bloody fantastic film
Agree with you on Nick Cave, deadset superstar and very well known with heaps of kudos thrown his way. Cave did not direct The Proposition, John Hillcoat( the road) did...cave wrote the screenplay and the music. They have teamed up again on a new film.
Disagree with you on Butterfly Effect, pretty ordinary band.
Birds of Tokyo suck big time. Highly over-rated band.
