Check out Ladyhawke, too although she is a Kiwi...

Yep, MGMT are great too.
Ladyhawkes track "My delirium" is one of my favourites so far this year

Another great Aussie band coming through the ranks is Tame Impala, If you like your songs with a psychedelic twist then these are well worth checking out...

Electro indie with shades of goa trance. Love it!

If you visit their myspace page here you can hear a couple of tracks

Scroll down and watch the videos..they're excellent! Make sure you turn off the track that plays automatically first though otherwise it sounds a bit messy

I'm liking the sam la more remix of walking on a dream! Hard to find though, heard it on radio metro (gold coast).

Awesome band, had it on the go since around Nov last year, you can get the sam la more version from beemp3.com
Im pretty sure Walking on a Dream was top 5 on Triple J's Hot100
Nick Littlemore is from Pnau and Luke Steel is from Sleepy Jackson.
