A band I wouldn't mind to have seen while I was in Melbourne is Tugboat, who are not the band Egg Records have released a compilation of (that was a Canadian band with members of Change of Seasons). But they too, are of course named after the Galaxie 500 single, an influence that comes to beautiful effect on their first album All Day which I just ordered from Library. Bart was kind enough to point out that you can download their newest release on lastfm. The Rushes EP was only made in 200 copies in 2007, but the band still have copies available. The ep is more catchy than that album, with five jangly, slow-paced pop songs that sound quite similar to The Airfields. Next I shall have a listen o their second album Two Schools of Thought! Thanks to Matt for piquing my interest.

Ooh, thanks for the reminder. I liked both the Egg band and the Australians but I'd lost touch wit the Antipodeans' output. Just listened to the 'Rushes' ep on last.fm and it sounds fab! Good excavation work Matt/Kris :)
i need to get around to ordering it, too! i still havent. i've played everything on their last.fm 3 or 4 times over though!
