Yeah, I think I might have heard them in a Home Brew show on K-Rock once or twice back in the day, but certainly a rarity. They didn’t get airtime on Austereo stations after (not that they had any before) an infamous incident with Jackie O at a music festival in Darwin years ago
But yeah, very emblematic of Triple J of the 90s/early 00s. As a hypothetical, do you think these guys would get much of a run on the same station today?
I haven’t listened to the Jays in a very long time, but I gather they still heavily lean toward Aussie hip hop and electronica? Rock has definitely fallen out of favour with most of the yoof. There’s not much innovation left in rock and roll I suppose; most new rock that I come across is pretty formulaic and derivative to be brutally honest. I’m sure there are some garage bands intent on rehashing skate punk, but they likely get lost in the noise. It’s an interesting question, even if it doesn’t keep me up at night.
Ah yes, Indie Folk. I’ve tried to like it, but it all sounds the same to me. Only the acts that channel the 80s, such as The War On Drugs, are semi-interesting.
"Blame it on the Rain " Milli Vanilli ,River 94.9 yesterday,I like this song even though there was controversy at the time that they didn’t really sing
Way Back Wednesdays are always a good listen on River 949 but they sure are diverse - Abba’s Waterloo, one minute than Bon Jovi Livin on a Prayer the next.
