aussie musicians


got an email about a potential media enquiry. only it was about the top aussie musicians all aussies should know to be relevant for australia day.
we decided that this probably would seem strange coming from an american. and one who probably only really knows about the people who made it internationally.

but here's a short list of some big name musicians from AUS:

- John Farnham
- Jimmy Barnes
- Men at Work
- INXS
- AC/DC
- the Wiggles
- Nick Cave
- Kylie Minogue
- Savage Garden
- Keith Urban
- Goyte
- Sia
- 5 Seconds of Summer
- Iggy Azalea
- the Bee Gees
- Olivia Newton John
- John Butler Trio
- Xavier Rudd
