I never got to finish my Oz Music thread on ILO before it died so I'll finish it off here.
One of the reasons I chose to move up to this little hippie/surfie town on the coast was because of the great music scene. There's only 5,000 residents here but it holds some of the biggest concerts in the country and there's always good bands passing through.
A couple of month ago, they held the annual Blues and Roots Festival -- a 5 day Woodstock-style music festival -- that headlined David Still & Nash, Donovan, John Foggerty (Credence Clearwater Revival), Canned Heat, Roger Daltrey (The Who), Earth Wind & Fire, Yes, Bo Diddley and heaps of old black blues artists. Just recently, they held a 3-day music festival focused on Australian indie artists. These are some of my faves.
