Here are a couple of brand new sites to add to your bookmarks.

www.AustralianMusicHistory.com - This site is an attempt to provide a permanent record of Australian bands, musicians, recordings and technical crew no matter what the musical genre, both current and past. It will have a bias towards Rock and Pop in the beginning but eventually we would like to highlight Aussie music of all types.

They gratefully accept contributions directly from Australian Bands and Muso’s so if you want yourself or your band listed just let us know. Similarly, if you spot something on our site that is not accurate, please let us know and we will correct it. They can be contacted at admin@australianmusichistory.com

Next is a new site by that classic Australian band, The Zarsoff Brothers.

The Zarsoffs are particularly hard to categorise or even describe so I’ll let front man Izzy Foreal tell you about the band. “What we are about,” says Izzy, “is being the catalyst for a good time, with an irreverent approach to the whole idea of rock & roll as an industry. To the punters, we are just a bunch of looneys who happen to be able to play music, and who would be just as comfortable beside them at the bar. We have no intention of deconstructing that image, not even for [name removed because of possibility of legal action].”

Izzy admits the band’s onstage skullduggery may be part of the problem with bookers such as [name removed because of possibility of legal action] , though “They need to see that we’ve grown up a bit. Sure, we’ll never be Top 30 pinups, and we’ll always be mainly an adults-only product - but we still pull heads at rock venues, and the days of the infamous ‘Dance of the Flaming Arsehole” are in the past.”
