The Seabellies
Newcastle (Sydney?), Australia
After winning the right to play at the highly anticipated VFestival this weekend, The Seabellies have gone from respected local act to a national success in a matter of weeks. Admittedly I jumped on the bandwagon having known very little of the band pre-VFest but that said, I've become a slave to their beautiful, dreamy melodies.
The Seabellies make lullabies for adults. Perfect while you're reflecting, drifting off to sleep (or rocking out at a festival). If you're going to V, try and get there at the ridiculous time of 12:30 to catch these guys play. It will be worth missing that one (or three) pre-festival drinks.

I saw these guys in a garage in Marrickville in around December. A slight Church vibe to them, but all in all was impressed by their full sound/repetoire.
i'm posting this band as soon i get started again. I wrote the post a week ago, i was so excited. They are indeed pretty special
and for the record... they blew softlightes out of the water at the hopetoun
i totally agree wit u there chucky. the Seabellies really out shone the softlightes. After that, I really want to see the Seabellies again.
i think chucky and ro are showing a little nationalistic bias.
seabellies were good, but to say they blew the softlightes out of the water is a bit of a stretch.
and there are @ 200 people there who would agree
