I think I am, but I can take that as a possibility. Is Aussie "pub rock" significantly different from the British genre that generally refers to something between punk and the traditional hard rock of previous decades a la The Tom Robinson band?
My understanding of "pub rock" is that the sound and feel was directly affected by the type of venue - i.e. playing to a small crowd makes you rock a different way than playing to a vast arena with cannons on stage.
The
Wikipedia entry on Australian pub rock seems to echo that line of thinking, but then Wikipedia is nothing but a consensus of edits.
But, please, clarification on what you are talking about certainly couldn't hurt.
