Melbourne zydeco band. I remember dancing to these guys as a kid at the Espy Pub around '88, when the Espy was still a fun working pub for all.

Love that sound!

Someone recently asked me if I could move anywhere, where would I choose. I said, I can't because it no longer exists. It was St Kilda around this time. My sister had a house near Acland St and I lived with her for a while.

I'm still friends with the guy on the wash board. Back then the Espy would sell me a beer (for a parent) as a kid and give me a free soft drink to go with it. They had pinball and video games in the back.

A Community to talk about Music from the Australian perspective.

Telling stories of Australia through music.

With few exceptions, Australian acts are permitted to have one hit in the US charts, then fall out of the international limelight.

Those acts however often have lots of other cool songs!

There are also several Australian acts that just aren't famous globally.
