Has anyone seen any good new Sydney bands recently?
By new I mean bands that have started up in the last 12 months.
By good I mean not crap.

Bluebottle Kiss - Doubt Seeds
THIS ONE
HAHA. They're premier.
Oh no Voxy!
What are you doing Clyde?
I'm going to get on the email and ask if they'll consider a collaboration with my new band Gangajangalangal. We do covers of Gangajang songs in Thai.
Bangshangalangangajangalangal. Catchy!
But serious business, I'm a big fan of the Dark Bells who may have been around a little longer than a year, but new-ish to me, anyway.
It's funny, innit.
Yeah, I've seen Dark Bells a couple of times TR. They're getting better and better.
Don't mind the sound of The Atom Bombs. Going to see them this weekend. 60's style surf rock.
Atom Bombs Myspace
that BSL site is ace!
all that's missing is some sound effects and flying toasters
Georgie G made it!
Playing our NYE party/show!
Other good/newish Sydney stuff I've seen in the last year includes Spookyland
MrMusic was right. I saw The Atom Bombs on the weekend. They're a lot of fun.
I also saw a great two piece dirty blues/beefheart type band called Spirit Level last night. They've only played three shows and all I could find on the web about them is [this Faster Louder review] (http://www.fasterlouder.com.au/reviews/events/25460/Hell-City-Glamours-Sando-Sydney-100910) of their show supporting HCG that describes them as the Best.Band.Ever. Hyperbole? Yes, but they are definitely worth checking out.

Yeah, I dug the gig yesterday. One of the best house parties I've been to in a long time.
Will have to check out Spirit Level too, when I get a chance.

Doh, I called them Spirit Level.

I really like Snakeface at the moment. I think they're from Sydney. I can't be sure though. Definitely OZ.
Bellyache Ben and the Steamgrass boys are defs my new favourite Sydney band.
Great guys!
There seems to be a bit of a bluegrass revival happening in Sydney at the moment. As well as Bellyache Ben there are The Green Mohair Suits, Oh Willy Dear (Maladies side project) and The Rusty Spring Syncopators. All of them are worth checking out.

the heavies
Loose Pills. Old cunce play good rock.
A band called Family were supporting Jamie Hutchings last week. They played pre-Thirteen Tales Dandy Warhols-esque stuff and it was super enjoyable. Anyone know who they are / more info / myspace with songs?
Yeah I saw Family as a support as well and thought they were cool, the only thing I can find on them is this demo on the sampler for Snow Big Deal , which is a serious contender for lineup of the year.
they're doing a show with day ravies on 17/7
Nice, and I found them on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/familyaus
Some of you guys might like Luchi...they've been getting a bit of FBi attention lately.
Their bandcamp has a bunch of old tunes which kinda sound like the postal service with future beats and more intricate guitar. Some of the newer stuff reminds me of Cowboy Junkies. Will be interesting to watch/hear how they develop.
Family are cool...features 2/3rds of dead farmers.

OOPS I DID A DBL PST
The Wednesday Night Music Club.
These guys were supporting Melodie Nelson last night and do this great dreamy surfy 70sey poppy thing. Very similar vibe to Melodie Nelson, but more dancey/uptempo.

Eating Flowers played their second show ever last Friday supporting The Laurels, and RULED! 2 guitars and viola, imagine a lo-fi drummerless mash up of Bardo Pond and Galaxie 500 with The Pastels or something. Loud folky drone might be an appropriate descriptor? Bridezilla fans may note that this is Millie's new band. So good!
Soundcloud or anything?
Reviving this thread with a totally unbiased post - Bowl Cut
bowl cut rules so fucking hard, in a non weird way i'm waiting for that fucker to turn 18 so we can play some shows together
Bowl Cut absolutely owns it. I'm so over forced low fi that it's not funny, but with bands like Bowl Cut or Housewives or Disco Pansy it feels genuine
