Ok, little bit further down the rabbit hole with Australian music in the 1980s.
Some of these were a little before my time in 1980 – bit too young for music then but so many great bands that were the soundtrack for our teenage years.
Check ’em out!
Just went down a little bit of a rabbit hole on the old Kerb and Gutter (Comb and Cutter Hotel, Blacktown).
I know a lot of Aussie bands played their in the 1970s and 1980s like Cold Chisel, Midnight Oil, INXS, the Radiators and the Angels, but I didn’t know The Cure played there in 1980!
I think it’s a condition of citizenship in Australia to play this every 21st December.
