I'm gonna big up The Random Family!

Seconded.

Sound people an all.

YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.

Huge in Brazil, probably unknown to you

I'm not their biggest fan though, its just the first brazilian name that came to my mind. All my friends love them.

Dead Sea Souls - Danny Bell @ GRV

Pretty sure am in that video somewhere.

Lowrider, gettin a bit known around Australia but still unknown basically. From South Australia, actually my best mates cousins make up half the band, drummer and keys so i knew of them early on. Fantastic beats, real unique and will be great im sure. F***ing fantastic live to!

There myspace has a lot of tunes up and some music videos, live track they have up im pretty sure is from the show i was at Be Bad is my personal fav, check em out!

Thirded on The Random Family. Shame there's nothing on YouTube.

They're not really unknown anymore but when I first heard them no one knew who they were. Friendly Fires, they make very unique music.

Okay, a couple more i recommend on top of Lowrider up there

First off, my girls best friend Karissa is married to a bloke named Adam who has a band in San Jose, and they are really good. Getting alot of shows around the bay area, and looking to get picked up by a label. Very rocky kinda emo sound, but not that annoying emo, the good stuff. And Adam is F***ing boss on lead guitar and vocals. Real good live to, saw em beginning of August and they rocked the house down, good entertaining stage presence to. Adam's a top lad to drink with to So check out there Myspace, got 3 quality tracks up there!

Another one completely different style of music, but still great. Saw these guys today in Eugene, my girl has known the lead guy for a few years after he came in to do a workshop at her university in LA. Was so weird actually, we have only just moved to Eugene and these guys just so happened to be making the 8 hour drive to play here this weekend. He was like, what the F**k are you doing in Eugene? Anyways.
Lead singer and writer is Andrew Heringer, real nice guy hung out with em after the set and he was cool. His band is Andrew Heringer Band, and also has a collaboration with another girl called Dawson and Marie. She played with the band today to, was really good. They are a real acoustic, stripped down soft rock with alot of heartfelt songs, but also very fun. Was a top show and if you love good acoustic rock/folk, check em out.

A band I'm listening to at the mo' is The XX and their self-titled album.

It's melodic, swirly, atmospheric, pop at it's best ...... a fine 'comedown' album.   ... Standout track = 'Crystalised'

The xx - Crystalised

The Blow Ups (check them out on utube)Band leader Kelly singer /songwriter used to work for me and has one of the best voices I've heard & is sure to be a Star one day IMO.(Oh and she's a Reds Fan).

The Metros, they're not togethor anymore but did release one album recently before they split up, a bunch of young lads with a lot of talent and a very exciting album with not one boring song.
