yeah man, the cat empire are awesome. im hoping i get to see them soon at byron bay blues festival but i think it might be too expensive. ive not heard much from jackson jackson or true live but i liked what i heard in the showdown from true live.
ive got triple j on all the time. triple j play all the good australian music and got me into most of the bands i know today. plus its like the only non-shit australian music station. triple j unearthed and like a version are great to listen to. you get to hear new aussie acts on unearthed even if half of them are shit. sticky fingers came from unearthed im pretty sure. like a version is fantastic, as its normally covers from great bands and acts. sticky fingers even managed to get one of their like a version songs onto the top 100 this year.
