Planets by Short Stack

Along with mass hysteria, Short Stack's rock n roll legacy was assured with a No.1 Album on the Australian charts.

This episode is on their hit single Planets.

Despite the haters, these guys have musical credibility and a huge fan base to prove it. 

Tagged as a “Boy Band”, the three-piece actually formed in a backyard shed, a place where all good rock bands are born.

Formed in 2005, by the time Short Stack hit the charts in 2009, they were masters of self-promoting and interacting with their ever-growing legion of fans online.

Short Stack also featuring on the cover of the Australian Rolling Stone magazine and won a couple of Channel V - Australian Artist of the Year.

The special guest for this episode is Short Stack vocalist and guitarist, Shaun Diviney.

I’ve Been Everywhere Man by Johnny Cash / Lucky Starr

OK, we're gonna to claim it from the outset, at Awesome Aussie Songs we believe that I've Been Everywhere is the most influential and far reaching song ever written by an Australian.

This little Aussie masterpiece was written by Geoff Mack in a Sydney car park one day, when Mack had an hour to waste and nothing to read but three road maps. Originally recorded by Lucky Starr, this song would in fact, go everywhere!

The special guest for this episode is Lucky Starr
