anyway, my favourites would probably be fela kuti, fushitsusha, & the dead c.

honourable mention to Queen Meanie Puss.

and merzbow.

Surely you listen to non-US/UK bands?

Nope, never found anything I like. Except Bjork I spose. And also Frenzal Rhomb. Hang on, I'll look at my last.fm artist list.

EDIT: Nope, all US and UK

Not going to mention any 'stralian bands either, that'd be too easy.

Taj Mahal Travellers
Celtic Frost/Hellhammer
Darkthrone
Witchcraft
Turbonegro (Ass Cobra era)
Parson Sound
The Clean
Lasse Marhaug (what i've heard is great anyway)

What about The Scientists? They're Australian.

i admit i like wolf parade. and bjork

edit- and sigur ros i guess, tho i havent listened in a while

look at all you people being like "can/neu/etcetcetc"
ash ra tempel were far better than can and neu

bjork is my main bitch up in iceland.

Yeah they are good, but I can't find any of their stuff, just a live album.

Overhang Party. Yep.

False.

For my current non UK / non US artist, I'd probably pick Supersilent. I'm listening to their "6" and it is a delicate listen, I'm telling you.

you fail.

Who knows, maybe I do, it's just a matter of taste anyway, isn't it?

weed
beer

Who Made Who from Denmark (highly danceable)
Current crave on the Mojomatics from Italy (two guys for a dry country garage rock'n'roll)

But most non UK/US bands I listen to use English
Fave no English singing band :

Gito Gito Hustler - titles are in English, but what these Japanese girls sing doesn't sound like English

Does Nick Cave count? He's English really now isn't he?

Other than Cave and Bjork, any non UK or US acts are second choice for me.

There are a gazillion great bands who aren't from the US or UK, with my favourite probably being Boredoms.

how is that possible? he still lives in melbourne.

die toedliche doris, acid mothers temple, melt banana

erm he is from the u.k.

northern ireland is part of the united kingdom.
