I have called this third CD “out-takes” because it features bands whose style doesn’t fit the bands in the two previous CDs, bands that are defunct, or bands that have a long discography.
1) The Celtic City Sons (Melbourne, Victoria)
www.mp3.com.au/artist.asp?id=311
"These indie folk-rockers employed a punk ethos to tackle the rich and centuries-old tradition of Celtic music. It's not surprising then that the band was compared to The Pogues, The Levellers and Wedding, Parties, Anything".
Ronnie MacDonald, a North Sea Gas (Scottish folk band) member played for a 12-year stint in Australia with the Celtic City Sons.
Discography:
"A Six...ual Experience" (6 tracks, 1993)
"Sweating in the Wood Shed" (11 tracks)

4) The Laundrymen (Sydney, New South Wales)
www.mp3.com.au/artist.asp?id=5936
A six-piece folk punk/trad/Irish band from Sydney, Australia with a big stomping pub sound.
Instruments include piano accordion, tin whistle, bodhran, mandolin, guitar, bass, drums, bouzouki, mando-cello and violin.
The band is no longer active. Will Swan (The Rumjacks) was a member of The Laundrymen.
Discography:
"Mens and Ladies" (7 tracks)
5) Sforzando (Melbourne, Victoria)
www.myspace.com/sforzandomusic
"Sforzando are a band from Melbourne, Australia who describe themselves as a "7-piece pirate orchestra" (fans usually refer to them simply as a "pirate band"). Their musical style combines elements of punk, Western European folk music and sea shanties to create "a soundscape for the ocean", and there is a notable Irish influence on their sound, though they have recently delved into the world of psych folk as well. They mostly perform live at venues in Melbourne but also regularly tour various music festivals around Australia."
"SFZ is pronounced 'Sforzando' or 'Ess Eff Zed'. Either/or. On all good pirate ships there existed a pirate orchestra. It was the orchestra's responsibility to chronicle in song the adventures of the pirates. SFZ are an 8-piece pirate orchestra who blend ferocious punk, Western European folk melodies and classic sea shanties to create a soundscape for the ocean. They sing of sailors that can't swim, ships that won't sail, dangerous mermaids and sirens ravishing the waves, mutineers, the vengeance of the sea Gods, the fury of the ocean, the destruction of the shoreline, the poetry of waves and of course, pirates. Specially pirates."
Discography:
"We Sail Away" (1997)
"Midnight at the Lighthouse" (Live at Port Fairy Folk Festival, 1999)
"Hideous Sea Creatures" (16 tracks,2002)
"SFZ EP" (4 tracks, 2005)

6) The GO Set (Melbourne, Victoria)
www.triplejunearthed.com/Artists/View.aspx?artistid=4939
The GO Set are a five-piece punk rock band which formed in 2002.
A punk ethos runs through the band - so much so that one critic claimed The Go Set could be likened to imagining "the political sentiment and social conscience of Billy Bragg or early Midnight Oil whilst drinking copious amounts and jamming with The Pogues and AC/DC , in a sweaty pub gig on a Friday night".
They cite influences such as The Pogues, Weddings Parties Anything, The Clash and Radio Birdman, as the most influential groups in their music, and have a particularly Australian social and political emphasis within their lyrics.
Discography:
Welcome To The New Dimension (5 track EP, 2003)
Sing A Song Of Revolution (12 tracks, 2004)
The Hungry Mile (14 tracks, 2006)
A Journey For A Nation (12 tracks, 2007)
