last day of Aussie music month

In tribute to a brilliant Aus Music Month on Triple J, which ends today.. here we go through some of the newish and just awesome Aussie acts.

1. Something with Numbers - new, fresh, maybe emo, maybe bad live, who even knows. Who even cares? hmm well i like the sound of Apple of the Eye, the first sort of commercial single. See if they will prove themselves over the next few months.

2. The Cops - Argghhh. Can't get enough of these guys. So pop and rock and indie and dancey all rolled into one giant grape of coolness. If you haven't heard them go back under the rock.

3. TZU - Wait till we see these guys live. Just going to go absolutely sick. I have heard good reports. Everything they touch turns into gold. Well not really gold in terms of record sales, but just sheer brilliant hip/hop, jazz funky beats to dance too. Catchy ass tunes you want to sing all summer long. Buy the singles, buy the albums, just got and buy the Cat Empire-Hilltop Hoods mashed up love children doing their thing.

Other really notable mentions as i couldn't be arsed to write anymore. Little Birdy & the Red Riders putting out some awesome material this year. New electronica which i guess had been massive on my stereo this year Goyte, Midnight Juggernuts, Hook N Sling, The Presets,Kid Kenobi, Soma Rasa all worth seeing live and have mad albums. On the blues and roots front sort of a bit quietish but lovin Custom Kings, John Bulter Trio, Juzzie Smith. Big prediction for the newish TZU band of next year would be True Live who just have a good sound. Well hip hop just so many to mention. Happy days for all things Hip Hop, think Muph & Platonic, Macromantics. Others i want to hear heaps more of - Offcuts and Dukes of Windsor.

Massive lame awards go to Something for Kate, Eskimo Joe, Josh Pyke, Bob Evans, Darren Hanlon. Sorry if your a fan and your reading this but it's my blog so i can think i write what i want too. Comment if you want. lol.
