Yeah, I know. I was following up on the two NZ bands you mentioned with Datsuns and Shihad - but I didn't read carefully enough and thought you were from NZ also. I do know the difference between the two countries I spent a year in NZ when I was a kid.

Yeh, I read the whole lot after and went 'hang on!', there is a flow there!!
Another good aussie band, BTW, is The Church. They do a lovely song 'Under The Milky Way Tonight' - has a great bagpipe solo.

Much like another band I know.......
