Do you know Peabody? :
MySpace.com - Peabody - Sydney, AU - Post punk / Indie / Rock - www.myspace.com/peabodyband
They are on my buddies label in Sydney. The put on a great show. Saw them the last time I was in Sydney.
Lots of great independent music downunder. The scene there is much cooler than even LA and San Francisco for live music..... lots of venues, devoted fans, etc.
Hoping to get down there later this year.
