Died Pretty: 4 Albums


Died Pretty (sometimes The Died Pretty) was an Australian indie rock band. They formed in Sydney in early 1984 and achieved moderate success in their home country and recorded nine full-length albums


before they parted ways in 2002, however the band still regularly perform reunion concerts. Died Pretty's 1990s albums, Doughboy Hollow, Trace and Sold, appeared on the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) Albums Charts but they had more success on the alternative scene. According to rock music historian Ian McFarlane they "unashamedly plundered rock's past to arrive at an original sound that was always passionate, atmospheric and uplifting ... produced some of the most inspirational rock music heard in Australia".

  1. Died Pretty much i have everything.
    As well as the Various of your last entry. Actually there are 4.

    I have to put something to perspective about the recommendations of L. Flower ( Gizmos). I have written the most of his list is recommended. That was my first somewhat superficial impression. Really a lot of good things but also music that doesn't interest me all or i can't stand like hop hop, reaggae...but also knew bands he recommends don't like it. It's not particularly important, but it's important to me to put it right. If i make a list, 95% of the list it would look different.
    Heard the first AXIS today. Recommended, pleasent pop/psych. The second is still on the way.

  2. Πανέμορφο post, αγαπημένη μπάντα. Με την ευκαιρία να ζητήσω κάποια στιγμή κάτι ανάλογο για τους Possum Dixon? Ξέρω πολλούς που θα χαρούν, ειδικά αν περιλαμβάνεται στις κυκλοφορίες και εκείνη η εξαιρετική διασκευή στο "For Your Love" των Yardbirds. Thanks, keep it up!

    1. Φίλε Σταμάτη ευχαριστώ πολύ για το σχόλιο σου, έχω Possum Dixon, αλλά θα πρέπει να κοιτάξω τι και σε ποια κούτα τους έχω ώστε να τους ξεθαψω. Δώσε μου λίγο χρόνο γιατί τώρα πνίγονται. Κάτι θα κάνω και για σένα

    1. Grazie Andy per Il tuo commento. Questo doppio CD l'avevo comprato in un Music Bazaar ad Atene. (Usato per 5 Euro). Mi ricordo Il loro concerto a Bologna nei primi anni ottanta.

  5. Che bello che tu li abbia visti, io invece persi entrambi i concerti a Milano, nel 1989 e 1990. Gran colpo la doppia raccolta a 5 euro. Ma lo sai che la Citadel ha appena messo in vendita un loro Live via mailorder? vai a vedere il sito. Ciao
