We all have our city favourites, so which is yours? The band could be smaller and indie, or incredibly successful – just make sure they’re from Brisbane.

Based on worldwide success and popularity you would have to say Savage Garden (some might say the Bee Gees and even tho they started in brisbane most people consider them a British act).
However in my personal taste and opinion you cannot go past good old Powderfinger!! = D
Bad Day Down. They were fantastic!!!!! Gotta hear them and listen to every single word. Just awesome
Best current Brisbane band – Charlie Mayfair – they are so sweet
The Melniks by far… best there ever was and best there ever will be!! :)
