bassintheface Posted June 13, 2011 Posted June 13, 2011 Hi all, I Play in the Rugby League's in stadium house band and we do all the major in stadium ents. This Nov Wales are playing Australia in the 4 Nations. We've been asked to propose some songs / bands with links to both countries. Can I get some suggestions of well known / popular songs etc?! It's a 4 piece band: 2 x guitar, drums, bass, 3 part harms and 1 guitarist also plays keys. I've already got AC/DC, INXS, Stereophonics, Manics ( Australia is the ideal song from them), Feeder, Super Furrys and Bee Gees etc I'm purposely ignoring Rolf, Waltzing Matilda etc! Any other decent suggestions? Cheers! Quote

bassintheface Posted June 14, 2011 Author Posted June 14, 2011 you can see where Rose Tattoo got their influences! Quote
stingrayPete1977 Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 You say ignor Rolf but I think a drum and 3 part vocals version of 2 little boys could be really good if you pulled it off well? Watch them big rugby boys well up Quote
tom1946 Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 How about: "When banana skins start to fall I'll come sliding home to you"? Seriously, anything by the Seekers? Quote
Al Heeley Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 theme to Skippy the Kangaroo. It's a corker. Crocodile Dundee theme Anything featuring a guest digeridoo artist Quote
RhysP Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 Don't ignore Rolf! He lived in Cardiff when he was a kid! Quote
bobbytodd Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 what about midnight oils beds are burning or a kylie cover Quote
casapete Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 'Howzat' by Sherbert? (sounds a bit crickety though?...) Other Aussie stuff you may want to consider - Icehouse Little River Band Savage Garden Keith Urban Quote
vsmith1 Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 I'd suggest Airbourne - though very much in the same vein as AC/DC; but as someone mentioned a didgeridoo then some songs from Jamiroquai like Didjital Vibrations (great groove). Vince Quote
