I moved here in late 1999, like a bit plyaer in an old Prince song!
I used to work in the music business for some time so when I first came to Oz at the end of Feb 99, I really wanted to check out what was happening and what had been happening here.
The Falling Joys were something I tripped over on JJJ along with Ben Lee and Gerling just the first week I was here. Oh and Hunters And Collectors.
The Saints I had met/worked with in London, The Go Betweens I had liked, The Triffids I had adored as had the entire London music business (when Dave and The Red Ponies played in what 95(?) the gigs were so popular I couldn't even get near a ticket let alone a guest list), Nick Cave used to come down to Brighton where I lived a lot as he had a girlfriend there and so I was quite up (or so I thought) on Aussie music... until I got here!
