the fighting league huh - well they do have that tropical sound - a bonus for this fest methinks.

hey this looks interesting...

The Lighthouse Keepers Canberra is a very transient place and therefore doesn't have much sense of it's own history. But back in the mists of time there have been fleeting musical moments. The members of the Lighthouse Keepers, a mid eighties indie band - all come from this harshly climed roundabout capital. There was a small punk movement in Canberra in the late seventies and early eighties and a very eclectic group of young people were making their own punk inspired sounds. Amongst them were the core of the Lighthouse Keepers. But the music of the Lighthouse Keepers was almost an opposite reaction to all this sweaty male electric stuff. They began as exiles in far away Sydney - playing country music covers and rediscovering melody. They went on to some success as the eighties threw up all sorts of bands in Australia. They are briefly reforming as part of the release of their ''best of'' CD - ''Ode to Nothing''. The shows so far have been very successful leaving audiences with smiles on their faces in Melbourne and Sydney. Come and see some Canberran history.
