Aloha all,
I was looking for some info on the neil young song and encountered a web
page from the popular australian band. They've been referrenced a lot on
the list. So I thought to post a link to the interview. They cite Midnight
Oil and Crowded House as their two inspirations for breaking through into
the states.

Have you guys gleaned any advice from Australian bands that have been
successful in America about making it in the States?
Ian: Not advice - inspiration, I guess. Crowded House is a prime example.
JC: And Midnight Oil.
Ian: Yeah, those are the two, because we're kind of a blend between them in
a way. (Laughs) I mean, not what we sound like, but in our mentality, I
think.
JC: Where we sit.
Ian: Yeah, 'cause Crowded House is a melodic band and Midnight Oil is a
political rock band.
JC: We're neither or. (Grins)
