bands from australia ROCK

some of my favorite bands of all time are from australia. AC/DC, Rose tattoo, Radio Birdman, and to a lesser extent Jet.
It seems like making the jump from australia to america would be difficult. are there any great australian rock bands that i should know about, but dont?

erm, i love Nick Cave. 'bout all i know of at the moment, though.

I don't think I can name an Australian band other than AC/DC. I probably know others, but just don't know the're Australian.

Midnight Oil.

Living end, Silverchair, Midnight Oil, INXS,.............

Radio Birdman do indeed rule. Oh yes.

COG Especially the new album which is coming out soon (they say april on the website ... but I hope it's sooner).

These guys are especially good live.

Oh! and mousemoon. They just happen to be good live as well.

Full Scale and Butterfly Effect deserve a mention too.

The Angels would fit into your list, same with Cold Chiesel. The Cruel Sea have some good songs as well.

Definately The Living End.

Dirty Three, Augie March, Nick Cave, Art of Fighting, Volcanic Honeymoon, Deloris, The Necks, Down Town Brown, Sodastream, Dallas Crane, Crowded House.

KILLING HEIDI

The Grand Silent System. They're like ... I dunno rock/jazz.

The Superjesus.

Remember the Vines? They were from Autstralia (I think).

You are correct.

Kylie. Kylie naked. And Kylie naked and covered in butter.

Ladies and Gentleman: The Three Stages of Kylie. Each one of them originating in Australia. Marvellous.

Oh, and Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds.

there's a band called 'architecture in helsinki' who are australian and a really good. you can listen to some tracks on architectureinhelsinki.com. they remind me of belle & sebastian meets broken social scene.
