Australian Music Spotlight

This is part of the "aussification"... Bringing you the best of the Australian music we have encountered thus far.

The Presets - Cettina's mobile ringtone alerted us to this band. They are an electronic/techno pop-ish duo that is just impossible to get out of your head. Try: "Are You the One."

Sneaky Sound System - Carlyn had heard of this group before we arrived, but I was turned on to them while watching the top 20 on TV. A fun dance group. "You're Hot" is a favorite.

Jessica Mauboy - She was on Australian Idol (a show which, similar to its American counterpart, produces ridiculously few successful acts). She is part-Aboriginal. She is also Beyonce's new opening act. "Up/Down" will probably be the first thing you hear in the States.
