I believe everyone should listen to Mac the Knife cuz their music is so good and underrated.
some more incentive to listen is that the actor for Spencer (Spider) in Heartbreak High Bryn Chapman Parish is a member of the band (I believe he is the lead singer).

“The voice of Christina Amphlett … shuttles between a hiccup, a yodel and a snarl. She sings with inflections that seem entirely her own, as if she were making up a perverse language as she went along. At her most bizarre, she can sound almost demonically possessed … she’s the good-bad girl – sort of like all four Shangri-Las rolled into one – with a snatch of pre-exorcised Linda Blair tossed in.”
/ Jim Farber reviewing the 1988 Divinyls album Temperamental in Rolling Stone /
Died on this day ten years ago: feral, perverse and raspy-voiced frontwoman of criminally underrated post-punk Australian band Divinyls, Christina Amphlett (25 October 1959 - 21 April 2013). I was privileged to see Divinyls perform and interview bad girl Amphlett for my university newspaper in 1991 in Montréal (when Divinyls had their fluke international hit with “I Touch Myself”). She was great! (I had no inkling that at the time Amphlett was battling alcoholism, as she’d later recount in her 2005 autobiography Pleasure and Pain). The Montréal audience was totally nonplussed by the volatile Amphlett’s abrasive sex kitten-gone-berserk stage antics (there was lots of deep stripper squats, breast-cupping and crotch-grabbing delivered with a contemptuous scowl). Amphlett died far too young from a combination of Multiple Sclerosis and breast cancer. In this shot you can clearly see the macabre “dead mouse” brooches Amphlett used to wear pinned to her little girl dresses in Divinyls’ early days. When I asked her about them, she just shrugged, “When I first started the band, I lived in this place that had lots of rats and mice and I became obsessed with them and used to stick them on my dress, because they were everywhere …” If you’re not au fait with Divinyls’ music, the picks to click are: their entire 1983 debut album Desperate followed by “Casual Encounter”, “Pleasure and Pain”, “Sleeping Beauty” and “Back to the Wall.”

Introducing Des Cortez!
A trio hailing from the suburbs of Melbourne Australia, these boys have taken the local underground music scene by storm. Rounding up many plays on Triple J's 'Unearthed' and a tight-knit fanbase around the country, these boys seem to have a promising music career ahead of them.
Highlighted by lead signer Sam Knight's gruff and hazy voice that wears the Aussie accent with pride, this band is sure to be enjoyed by fans of: The Grogans and Hockey Dad.
B180, is a song that perfectly encapsulates the feelings of having a sibling and as you watch them grow into the person they are. Whichever direction that is.
The use of Knight's voice is able to perfectly embody the feelings of anxiety and concern that one has when they watch their siblings make questionable decisions, whilst the band's instrumental ties it all together to really give the song that punch of ambiguity and almost 'loneliness' that comes with your teenage years.

And now for something completely musically different. Sietta is a musical duo I barely know anything about but have randomly enjoyed some of their tunes over the last decade or so. So, let’s strap on the research goggles and focus in for a hot second. Alright --- doing research, gimme a second folks, a second being roughly the time I usually spend on research for these posts --- yup, just as I thought. Barely anyone knows about this duo, they’re from Australia and are totally obscure here in America. They do electronic soul, soul music being a genre I NEVER post on this page until now. They haven’t updated their Facebook page since 2018 and they haven’t cranked out an album in over half a decade. Folks, this is my favorite kind of band to feature; the talented and obscure ones that were worth something and then faded away into a poof that you can only begin piecing together by caring in the first place. I dare say that outside of my blog on Tumblr, some of the music I post is so rare that it only exists on a few other dark corners of the internet. From what little I could scrape off the journalistic workings of the interwebz, I was able to determine they’re a twosome from Australia made up of a guy that does instrumentals and production, and a gal that does vocals. Apparently soulful, spiritual music inspired both and seeing as how they had the talents to assemble ideas on an album, they did so, and managed to create something that combined hip-hop, soul and blues under one electronic roof. I think the reason I keep coming back to their music occasionally is because it’s just flat-out groovy, highly danceable and a cut or two harder and more stylistic in tone than anything I’ve heard in the same genre. This isn’t my kind of music, but its my kind of music in sporadic doses, providing something fun, on-the-nose and universally relatable. Caiti Baker, the very talented lead singer, had a blues-singer father and has suffered from chronic fatigue syndrome, making her upbeat and energetic performances quite the opposite of her nature. She was inspired by her producer, James Mangohig, to have confidence in her natural voice, expression, and ability. That’s just about all the information I can give you, other than the above track is What Am I Supposed to Do? from 2011’s The Seventh Passenger. If you’re into music with heavy bass, catchy beats and a pure message, smash play and enjoy, especially the bumpin’ last thirty-five seconds.
Wish I could tell you what year this image was from. It’s worth noting that vocalist Caiti Baker has broken off into some pretty good solo work which you can find here. Image source: https://ra.co/dj/sietta/biography
