It's Powderfinger Jr.! Or is that Powerfingerbang? I really can't stand Aussie music when this came out. They all sounded the same. Same guitar sound, same production, same lame lyrics. It was just guitars, guitars, guitars. A real low point for local bands. And the young 'uns just ate it up, for the disposable, McDonalds rawk that it was. Assembly line bollocks. Phooey!
Unfortunately, due to the pressures of being in a band, the heavy touring schedules for their 2nd album, tensions within the group became too much for them, and near the end of '98, their decision to break up was announced, but not before performing their last 3 gigs.
The Homebake Festival in Sydney, The Falls Festival in Victoria, & ending at The Big Day Out in Perth.
Stumbled across this song while watching a recording of the 1998 Formula 1 Grand Pix du Canada. Used as segue music before a commercial it had an infectious chorus and it took me all but a minute to search it, find it as a YouTube video and I was jamming along...I love modern technology!!!
bass player Simon is my cousin.....haha yes that is my claim to fame from the 90s. I was at the BDO in perth they done their last ever show at and everyone was goin fuckin bananas
It was used as background music in a road safety tv add back in the 90's(in Australia) focussing on wearing seatbelts, where a P plater picks up his younger brother from school, and they have an accident.
It was also on an CD sampler released by Coca Cola in '97.
I used to have this CD, but lost it many years ago, and could never remember the title of the song, or the artists.
Thank you so much for posting this vid!!! Great quality!!! +++

Noticed a few people asking, so just thought I'd post this bit of info from Wiki.
They had 3 EP's, and 2 albums, from '93, through to '98.
They released this single in '97, which was then added to their 2nd & final album in '98, Eleventh Avenue.
Their very last show as a band was in January '99, on the main stage at the Big Day Out in Perth, Weston Australia.
After splitting up some of the members went on to work with other bands.
-Check Ammonia(Band) in Wiki for more detailed info. :)
