A Austrália cada vem mais vem recheando as páginas do TBTCI basicamente toda semana com uma novidade genial saída daquelas terras.
Há não muito tempo o Dandelion já passou por aqui, e vem muito mais australianos pela frente, e agora é vez de The Grand Rapids, com álbum lindaço chamada Great Snakes lançado ano passado e agora com um novo single Copper Girl que anuncia o novo álbum a vir brevemente.
Psicodelia da melhor qualidade pratica o The Grand Rapids, digamos que os caras ficam numa encruzilhada entre BJM e o finado Blue Angel Lounge.
Especiaria de primeiríssima qualidade.
