This folk punk thing appears interesting, but it simply does not exist in Australia. How odd. I suppose it leaves me a niche if I want to exploit it...

Go for it, as long as your folk punk doesn't suck.

Australian folk:
Well I drank me a Foster at half past ten,
Then I rounded all my sheep into a pen.

Australian folk punk:
Well I drank me ten fosters at half past eight,
And phoned up my girlfriend to say I'll be late.

Off the top of my head. I don't know much about Australia, except sheep and Foster's.

I want more bands like Against Me!. I don't even know what subgenre they belong to. :(

get to it boys!

Against Me! is probably one of my favorite bands ever...Folk Punk maybe?

Why is AM! even labelled folk-punk? They sound nothing like folk-punk.

For some strange reason I thought this was the suggestin thread.

I had nine pints last night on an empty stomach. Not a good idea.

[QUOTE=_JR][B]alright alright everyone listen up. this is important but i didnt feel like making a new thread about it becasue its not quite that important. but i need you peoples help.[/B]

ok so my band is playing a show next saturday night, and i think ive established a while ago that no one in our area likes our music, so they dont really like us. we are playing with 3 other sh itty top 40 bands, and we are playing second.

it is rumored that there is a conspiracy against us that the kid in charge of the show is going to inturrupt our second song and ask the crowd if they want us to continue playing. the crowd is then going to chant "NO!" and we will be booed off the stage.

fu ck that. what would you people do to avoid this or whatever, becasue were stumped[/QUOTE]
Dude, we were basically told to get off the stage by everyone in the crowd one time so I said this "Leave if you want, you have as stamp on your hand to get back in, we're not forcing you to stay here so FU(K OFF!"
It worked as they didn't say anything then. Plus we have a song called "Emo kids fu(k off" so my guitarist said "anyone here like my chemical romance" the crowd started cheering so then he said "They're fu(king shlt so here's Emo kids fu(k off"
Beautiful.

Drinking on an empty stomach gets me wrecked so much quicker.

It saves you money and also the kebab at the end of the evening is much more rewarding

Filamets- Authorities Demise is an amazing song, i hope they play it on their final gig. I don't remember seeing them ever play it.

I found a tab of it Dave's done for guitar

Hey, where do you live? All the schools around here are out for snow as well. Of course the college wasn't though. :(

We've got a pretty long folk-song tradition of stealing old Irish ballads and making them suit our own particular needs.

TRADITIONAL IRISH FOLK SONG:
I Have No Potatoes
F'uck The English

TRADITIONAL AUSTRALIAN FOLK SONG
I Have No Potatoes
F'uck The English
Christ It's Hot...

But on a more serious note, we don't have so many sheep any more, the Kiwis have outdone us on that front. And no-one in Australia actually drinks fosters, it's too damned expensive and not very good.

I [i]know[/i] that you guys love Outback Steakhous, amirite?

Fosters is piss-water.

Some random guy who wanted to browse me on slsk. Pretty much the most ignorant thing I've heard all day.

Haha. Once a guy on slsk asked me if he could download something of mine, and I said sure. Then he started telling me about how he was at his girlfriend's house and he had just f'ucked her.
