Think, even, back to Daddy Cool, whose Eagle Rock outdid ’70sboogie merchants at their own game and set them up for a lifetimeof global cult worship. It seems British and US audiences only havetime for Australian rock bands as long as they pay homage to theYanks and Brits who did it first. When the Vines exploded worldwide in 2002, it was the firsthome-grown rock band since INXS to snatch anything approachinginternational success. Jet continued the trend a year later, and since then it hasbecome almost de rigeur for ambitious rockers to try their luckoverseas, before even looking at a local record deal.

This is inkeeping with rock’s recent fascination with the eyelinered ’80s,which has seen angular guitars and disco drumbeats creeping intocommercial punk music from the Killers to Panic at the Disco.
