This leads me to a question:

Without going too obscure, who are the "Australiana" bands that never got big outside of Australia? And I am more thinking bands that didn't translate to foreign audiences, as opposed to bands that were just not good enough to get famous overseas.

As mentioned there is TISM, and Cold Chisel. But who else are/were superstars in Oz, but nobodies overseas?

I would posit Crowded House as a band that fits this criteria. As well as possibly Savage Garden and Human Nature. Darryl Braithwaite also qualifies as a local superstar who would be unknown anywhere else.

im reminded of my love for Redgum's first album, which im quite sure got no recognition over here in the US, then or anytime after. opener feels quite relevant to this thread:

I'M CONCERNED ABOUT A NUMBER OF THINGS
Working in a winery years ago we had plagues of crickets which were getting in all the tanks so someone had the bright idea of using the big blowtorch we used for waxing concrete tanks as a flame thrower to take them out. It was easily the worst thing I'd smelt in my life until like a week later when we had piles of dead, burnt crickets starting to decompose.

Anyway, burnt bugs smell nothing like BBQed prawns.

Honestly, at this point in my life, I've met so many people using so many different versions of English that I probably wobble between a dozen different versions of it a day.

Certainly doesn't help that I deliberately suppressed my original lovely bush accent when I first moved to the city.

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go.

Dunno about Maurie Mole but Big Dog definitely was. We never got it in Sydney but when visiting cousins in Newcastle I always found it hilariously provincial. Same thing now staying with my in-laws in the Gong - ads for tractors, sheds, and of course ads starring the company owner for some reason

In the late 90s I worked at a very posh golf course/club. The verandahs all had huge amounts of spider webs (because they never turned off the lights) so they had us wheel a homemade propane flame thrower/blowtorch around and burn the webs out. Que showers of half cooked angry spiders raining down on us.

This was done all throughout summer and I have no idea how noone burnt the club and surrounding bushland down.

Won't last a season, or will just be another soft reboot where they do a few episodes and try to recreate classic segments again but with a conscious effort to avoid the racism.

What we will see:

Exactly the same poo poo we always saw, minus the racism.

What we won't see:

Harry Connick Jr.

What we want to see:
