Invertigo! There’s a band you certainly don’t hear every day. ‘Desensitised’ was the one of theirs I remember, would have been from that same turn of the millennium era as this one.

Lead singer Christian Argenti went on to be a radio presenter with SEN back in the day, and then the SCA regionals?

Was called Vertigo initially, before a brief breakup then coming back as Invertigo. Vertigo had “Forever Lately”.

Always reminds me of The Prodigy sample.

They are something of a Conga Line favourite. ‘Desensitised’ is a terrific piece of power pop/rock and one of the last great songs from that genre to hit the charts.

Interesting choice given the developments regarding a festival advertising John being the headline act through the regional network…

I love that song! Even the announcer Steve Fitton agreed, he back announced it as a ‘great song’ and also referenced their other hit ‘Endless Road’.

Both those Time Bandits songs are great. They actually did a tour of regional centres back in the early 80s and I saw them play the Maryborough (QLD) showgrounds. The video for Endless Road was shot mostly in Queensland. I think they had more success in Australia than their native Holland.

I also love the song listen to the man with the golden voice by the Time Bandits, I think I requested it on the Andy show once or twice.

Edit it was Live it up. But both songs are great.

When I was at Woolworths, I heard a good song Sweet About Me from Gabriella Cilmi. It was a terrific song back then.

One of those songs that was flogged to death in the mid 2000s but you barely hear in 2024.

Earlier This week when I went to Woolworths in Maitland I heard Jamiroquai’s “Corner of the Earth” from their album “A Funk Odyssey” a calm bossa nova banger which only charted at #52 on the ARIA Chart in 2002.
