I'm not one to frequently listen to what most people would call "dance" music, but I'll make an exception for The Presets. Australia's best electronic duo, henceforth referred to as electoduo. It's something very different to the dance music you hear blasting from small hatchback cars as they do 50mph down the road. The Presets will be coming to Whelans next month and I may just swing by. Check out their myspace or if you're the type who likes indie music videos, have a gander at this.
You can't talk about Australia, without talking about New Zealand, and Liam Finn is by far one of the best New Zealand musicians out there at the moment. He's one of those lovely singer-songwriter guys, but he plays guitar, bass, even drums and loops them all together in some spectacular one-man band awesomeness. I saw him at this year's Oxegen festival, and he was certainly a sight to see live, as playing on Later with Jools Holland, on Letterman or at some live set...
If you've any other suggestions for awesome bands from the southern hemisphere or have ever been there and liked (or disliked) it give me a shout in comments...
Today's photos are from these lovely people... The one of The Presets is from Dani Lurie, who's never read The Da Vinci Code (neither have I). The one of Liam Finn is from someone known only as rchappo2002, who's still learning how to use his digital camera. Old fashioned is the more awesome indie way to go.
