20.

In 2011, this Melbourne based band became fast favourites of the live scene, with their catchy riffs, energetic stage presence and tracks like this one, which stick with you long after you turn it off...

The Fearless Vampire Killers - Tell Me What You're Trying To Say

Last night, in front of a packed industry crowd at Sydney's Oxford Art Factory, the 2011 J Awards winners were announced, and Gotye was crowned the big winner of the night - winning the J Award for Australian album of the year after Art Vs Science belted out their hit single "A.I.M Fire!", which was coincidentally nominated for best Australian music video of the year.

Melbourne outfit Big Scary are without a doubt one of Australia’s most talented and diverse bands. The two-piece act, consisting of Tom Iansek and Jo Syme, recently picked up a nomination for the J Award (Triple J’s album of the year) for their debut record Vacation. And boy do they deserve it.

It’s a truth universally acknowledged that Australian bands love to take the piss out of themselves. International groups may try, but there’s something about the larrikin spirit that seems to win out. From band names like TISM (This Is Serious Mum) to groups singing about Animals, Sweaters and Pussy Town (Jebediah, Eskimo Joe and Machine Gun Fellatio, respectively) to just about any song by Custard, you know there are a lot of local artists that aren’t in danger of taking themselves too seriously. We now have another addition to this illustrious list in the form of Big Scary.
