Personal Biography:
I am a typical example of your povo uni student, Only two things Keep me alive while I am at uni.. an unhealthy fixation with Irc ( #powderfinger, and #jebediah...and hopefully soon to be a #big_heavy_stuff) the other would be a healthy interest Ausmusic. I think there are so many great bands coming up around this vast country we call Australia, WE (that is a collective term for all of us) should be supporting the local industry flourish. With groups like the Wiggles how can we go wrong??? Buy Homegrown, It is better for everybody.. I dunno.. BTW.. Whatever was said about me before... IT IS ALL LIES..

I am 21, trying to finish my Speech Pathology degree this year. I love live music, and since I have no musical talent, I have devoted my homepage to my favourite (non-signed) local band Cousin Em http://student.uq.edu.au/~s325113/cousinem.html nice little plug hey?. Live music highlights include Livid 96 - with not only powderfinger, but WEEZER!!!, and for sheer hectic-ness the Powderfinger gig at UQ at the start of the year. I really should be writing my thesis...

Personal Biography:
After spending 5 months in Australia I quickly became a huge Powderfinger fan. One of the highlights of my trip was the Crowded House farewell concert where Powderfinger blew me away. I have been fortunate enough to see them here in Toronto twice at small clubs and have met all of them once, and Bernie and Ian twice. I play in a band called pup over here and we will be distributed in Australia soon, check it out.

Personal Biography:
10 years: The Cure, Bowie and The Doors (all of whom I still love), thanks to older brothers and sisters influences.
10 - 15 years: Moved on (or down) to Top 40 shit. Loved MC Hammer, Collette and Martika but to name a few. Oh, those dodgy early teenage years. Favorite band though was INXS - R.I.P. Michael.
15 years - present: Finally started listening to decent music. Bought a good stereo in year 10 and began listening to artists like GNR, Led Zepplin, The Black Crowes, Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Soundgarden, The Eagles, Stone Temple Pilots, RHCP and Lenny Kravitz.

All these bands have shaped my musical tastes today.
