Adelaide band ammonia (alt-pop, keep on my side, drugs and money, your not the only one who feels this way)

Geelong bands:-
God (grunge/garage, the song my pal is on the underbelly soundtrack)
Bored! (Garage- similar to birdman)

Magic dirt (check out the song dirty jeans)
My old friends mantissa/killing time (think RHCP, singles dream alone, ruby's mind), and festers fanatics (comedy/ punk rock)
