Powderfinger
65,248 listeners (1,480,190 plays)
Australia (1989 – present)
Their musical style would simply fall into the Rock catagory, guitar driven rock featuring radio friendly hooks and enigmatic vocals. The band has featured prominently in Australian premier youth station, Triple J, winning the most popular song of the year on a number of occasions.
The band has released six studio albums and a “best of” collection, despite being a still functioning band, having released their most recent album “Dream Days at the Hotel Existence” in 2007. They are set to release another album in 2009. Despite their overwhelming popularity in native country Australia, Powderfinger have yet to take the world by storm. Frequent tours across Australia are sold out rapidly and live shows do not disappoint the large number of fans who share the passions of a passionate group.
They toured with Silverchair on the “Across the Great Divide” Concert, from August to October 2007, raising awareness for the indigenous people of Australia.

Why does hardly anyone in the UK know who Powderfinger are? Admittedly, I got into them through a friend who travelled to Australia, but it's incredible that a band of such a high standard can be almost completely unheard of in a country that supposed to "know" about music?? I saw them live last december in birmingham and again at the o2 wireless the other week, and whilst they were amazing, nearly everybody I spoke to at both events was Australian!! :D We need to start bombarding UK radio stations with Powderfinger requests, because frankly I'm sick to death of hearing a loop of Rihanna, Wiley, Tings Tings, etc, for 8 hours every day at work! :@

Saw them at 02 Wireless Festival in London yesterday, and they were awesome. I never knew their stuff really but I am getting into it a lot more after seeing their great performance. I think about 50% of the audience were auzzie, most of the Australians from London seemed to go haha! Good times.

Wow, I was expecting more plays than this... when I saw them at the Great Divide tour with Silverchair, the punters seemed like they were only there for Powderfinger. I'm a casual fan I suppose.

Yay! I'm going to the 11th June concert up in sydney and I'm freakin' pumped! And there's also a live version of Rita on These Days, Low Key. Which is better than the studio one from the Sunsets B-side. And they went in minutes of being on sale, so I'm not surprised you missed out Teno.

I'm going to be blunt: @haupassia: You're fucked, mate. They're not over rated, I don't know how you can say that, they've done alot to get where they are. I can appreciate Powderfinger, and alot of the stuff you listen to, I think you should have respect for other peoples tastes.

Aye. same. I forgot how popular they were in Australia, ie: one of the biggest bands. I was so used to people not knowing them because of last.fm.
