Well - you guys are definitely on the map today with indie - Tame Impala, King Gizzard ..., Cloud Control, Bombay Royale, Morning Harvey, Courtney Barnett, Pond, ... etc. When I look for material for this thread and google stuff like Australia, psychedelic, garage, there's a lot of modern stuff that comes back cuz you guys went through a modern psychedelic thing recently. Anyhoo - thanks to modern technology the geographical barriers are gone.The isolation and playing in a lot of noisy pubs created the Aussie sound in bands, really loud strumming. I suppose if you're a group of struggling musicians in the 60's with an average exchange rate, renting everything, paying a fortune to fly hlf way around the world......... once you get overseas, you're going to have to sell a lot of tickets and albums to get your money back. The Go-Betweens, Cold Chisel, Midnight Oil, Split Enz & The Angels are some that I can think of struggled later on.
Plus they cop some great Sixties cred by playing at Chu Lai Air Base, South Vietnam (1971)I know this is 1970, but I think it fits in. Reminded me of The Hollies. (Plus they have a woman on keyboard!)
