This strain of Australian country music, with lyrics focusing on strictly Australian subjects, is generally known as "bush music" or "bush band music." The most successful Australian bush band is Melbourne's Bushwackers, active since the early 1970s.
Though mainstream audiences in the early sixties preferred a clean band, grungier bands inspired by American and British surf, garage and psychedelic rock were appearing in major cities, including Sydney and Melbourne.
Australian music was not only alive and well; it was flourishing under the guidance of the early music industry entrepreneurs.

 The cloud classification system (general)
The clouds generally move in the direction of the wind very similar to the direction of the wind on the ground.
These clouds are brighter and less fragmented in appearance due to their distance from the ground and the higher composition of ice crystals.
The cloud seems to be moving rapidly but because of its development at the rear actually progresses very slowly in the direction of the wind at that level.

The band's last album, 2002's Aldhils Arboretum, had them moving away from the overt theatricality of their previous two albums, towards more compact rock/pop songs that retained the group's 60-ish melodies and their general taste for noncomformity and oddball artistic impulses.

The Australian band Sekiden likes to sing about robots and computers and play around with synthesizers, but when it comes right down to it, they're mainly interested in playing catchy power-pop anthems.

 Bubblehead live review Clouds 080697
Many bands would be none-too-pleased follow such an electric support act, but The Clouds wandered onstage with the sort of confidence a decade-long stint together brings - and also the riotous crowd response would have probably helped too.
The band seemed to suffer little from the absence of former lead guitarists Dave Easton and Ben Nightingale, with a full and textured sound happening.
Sometimes a band generates something very powerful on stage - not from turning up to eleven and screaming, but from interacting with each other in such an intuitive way it seemed very eery.

Where most bands might try a time or two again to recapture the spotlight, The Church persevered on a cultish level, consistently releasing albums for the faithful (and the faithful only, it seemed) ever since.
The good news is that it's yet another fine addition to their lengthy catalog--all shimmering guitars, gorgeous melodies that reel you in further with each listen and that vaguely unsettling feeling that all their best work bears.

 Reviews for Karmic Brick - SoundClick Music
We've waited quite a while for KB to 'knock another one off' and although their debut album 'The Unnatural World' was a nice little 'starter stunner' that earned the band quite a bit of global acclaim and the occasional award here and there, we were not really sure how they'd measure up two years later.
Not only have the band managed to mess with time but they've also managed to mess with the ageing process and gone back physiologically and psychologically together to the days when basement nightclubs with bare walls and paint-tin ashtrays were a major asset to the interiors.
"Outside" is the track that brings back memories of a superb Australian band 'The Clouds' who's interspersing of smooth caressing vocals and solid drum work made the band a phenomenon.
