I’ve been listening to a lot of electro from Australia during 2k8, and it made me yearn for more well-crafted Australian pop electro music. I uncovered a new band called Savage Garden that every blog house fan will learn to love. I would describe them as a mix of Cut Copy and Pnau, highlighting the best elements of each band.

Their hit single is called “I Want You”, and it makes me thirsty for Cherry Cola.

Savage Garden also has a soft side, which most modern bands haven’t found yet. Writing a slow love song made for middle school dances is one of the most difficult tasks an artist can undertake.

“I knew I loved yall b4 I met yall.” -CRLS

I think 2k9 is gonna be a good year, yall!


Do yall think Savage Garden is ‘the next big thing’ out of Australia? Will they inspire a generation of electro pop producers that we will eventually get to experience in a decade? I’m excited, yall. Maybe Australia did win the Electro War.

In the future, I wonder if altBros will stop wearing shirts?

‘Girls will be entry level until they have tugged off an altbro who they were gimmicked into thinking had a unique personal brand. They will graduate into being an altBroad who actively disassociates herself with that period of her life and move on to tugging altBggts and mainstreamBros.’
-Carles from the Essay “On Being an Alternative Woman”


///////
// My first meaningful alternative experience
////////

My mom was about to pick up me and a couple of my friends at a music festival. I really had to twist her arm to let me go. I wore something conservative, but brought my zany outfit in my bag. No way my dad would let me go out like that. The music festival was the most fun I had my whole life. I love being around people. I love people watching. I love listening to other people’s conversations. This is because I have an interesting perspective on the world.
As the night wound down, and we got more buzzed from half-empty cans of Sparks/Coors Light, I looked at all of my friends. They were real. We understand one another. I am proud of my alternative group. We are bigger than just one individual, and bigger than our collective alternative soul. We are relevant. We are young. We are free.
We will live forever.
Part of the us never dies.
I have arrived. I am officially an authentic alt.
My friends are spending the nite. (can’t wait 4 college when every nite is a sleep over.)

The Bag Raiders are another producer duo from the ‘Land Down Under’ a.k.a. ‘Aussieville’ a.k.a. ‘electroKangaroo Village.’

This song is a little bit fun, and a little bit earnest at the same time. Kinda reminds me of one of the Pnau songs that eventually gets too weird, except this one stays fun+listenable the whole time.

Christopher Robin is from Australia. There’s something about the song “Vision 2020″ that reminds me of the vocal delivery of the Tough Alliance, with the song structure that would either strangely attract or repel you from a LoFiFnk song. I dig the sound.

Also, they have an interesting GIF.

Dont know how i managed to stumble upon this shit stain, although searching the internet it is quite common to step in the occasional pile of complete and utter shit excuse for a web page.

That fucking moron that your idolising as a god is a waste of space, and un Australian low life emo fuck.

What a trooper, wearing wide framed shit bag sunglasses and calling himself a party animal.

HA! PLEASE PULL MY OTHER FUCKING LEG BEFORE IT FALLS OFF!

This guy couldnt host a mediocre party if River fucking Pheonix crawled from the fucking grave and suplied the drugs.

You realy should decorate this page with a wallpaper of pubic hair, so that any moron that happens to find this page can realise what it is in life that they are missing out on.

Corey Delaney AKA Corey Worthington is doing his best to take his career to the next level.

Muscles is a dude from Australia. His music could be classified as ‘overwhelming pop music.’ I usually enjoy it, but I get kind of creeped out because the vocals are so strong that they remind me of a mix of some pop band like MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE mixed with TV on the Radio. But his songs are powerful, poppy, synthy, and dancey.

Muscles Ice Cream

Here is the picture that he recommends using at his myspace. I just don’t really envision a dude in flip flops, cargo shorts, and a Mario 1Up shirt making that music. Maybe there’s something wrong with my perspective.

Here are some hilarious comments from STEREOGUM’s post about Muscles.[LINK]:

Muscles is a fag and he always will be. He’s just a pussy who’s running away from the scene. Fuck him.

and…

Man. Muscles used to post at an Melbourne music forum years ago, getting 15 people to his small shows in tiny bars. Good on him.
There’s just enough humour in his songs for some people to get it, and the brainless nu-ravers to completely miss the point. It’s really quite clever.

and…

He is one of the worst people I’ve dealt with. The fact he’s getting even a small scale of success makes my stomach turn. Stereogum, so much better music in Australia. Who turned you onto this wanker? My comments are no reflections on the music…

I just want to know who the real MUSCLES is. What’s that dude all about?
This is his album art:

Here’s a video of MUSCLES performing ‘Ice Cream’ live:

Maybe I’ll never understand the aesthetic that Muscles presents through the internet, but WHATEVER. His music really takes you to a city close to BANGERVILLE, so whatever.
