who surprised and who disappointed

By far the best live concert I've been to was a small gig where australian alternative act Shriekback played the small campus theatre at my Uni in 1987. They were positively electric, and brought the house down. You had to have been there.

Boa - Not to hijack, but....

World Party is back on tour. I thought Karl Wallinger had died, but evidently he was merely quite ill. Anyway, they're in LA in August and I plan to attend.
Thought you might want to know.

Thanks a lot, Marty. I'll have to see when they're coming our way.

You lucky devil! One of my favorite, underrated bands of all time. Some of the best talent in the business, but they were actually from England. Where's that machine from "Brainstorm" when you need it?

Jamscience, why did I think they were from AUS? It's not as if I didn't have a thwack of their stuff on vinyl AND on CD at one point. Oh well.
