Here's a few more bands.

Ah, The Numbers. I remember seeing little Annalise with that seemingly huge Fender Precision bass slung over her small frame on Countdown a few times. Cool. The Aliens (remember Follow That Girl?), James Freud & The Radio Stars/Berlin, La Femme, Jo Jo Zep

I´m a great fan of the Aussie indiescene and are looking for people to trade cdr with. "new" groups are also of great interest (chevelles, Icecream hands, michael carpenter stc...)

Men At Work were Aussie, not Men Without Hats.

Golfer- I've got the "Breaking Silence" LP by James Freud. I'd love to hear more of his stuff, especially some early Teenage Radio Stars. Also, was there any difference in the Flowers LP and the Icehouse

you are right, there [b]were[/b] tons of great Aussie music in their late 70s/early 80s heyday ! Machinations, Mental as Anything, Midnight Oil, Eurogliders especially. And (*blush*)--I reserve a soft spot for Men At Work because they were my "bridge" to

Nice to see there are some more Aussie new wave fans here. Could you tell me please if The Metronomes first LP or early single releases have been compiled onto CD?

I really like "A Circuit Like Me" and would love to hear more of their early tracks.
