Of course mental as anything are still the go, are you poking fun at us?
We have Slim Dusty, John Farnham, The Seekers, Olivia Newton John. Still selling out concerts are Gerry & his Pacemakers who do a regular tour.

CD's are cheap. The music scene rocks.

YES - For over three decades, Yes has ranked as one of the most innovative and popular bands in the history of rock. Very big in the 60s

Thats as good as it gets.

Was here 3 years ago and Culture Club were here with support act Village People. It was bad, really bad.

Boy George described Perth as conservative with a capital C he was not much impressed with the place, although I am sure the feelings were mutual.

Default Shaun Ryder

Isn't Shaun Ryder running around Perth? He is probably distorting the drug statistics.

With the internet there is no need to worry about being behind on the music.

Music here is definatley more "Rock" orientated.

Rock is the new dance now so you could say Australia is ahead of the UK.
