Powderfinger

I

meant to do a segue joke between Powderfinger and the cake.

Powderfinger's long gone.

The

segue's five minutes ago.

Go on.

I'm sick of Powderfinger.

Don't put your

finger in powder.

But My Happiness, do you remember that song? No.

I don't remember My Happiness either.

Pastings, Powderfinger, I'm sick of them.

They may be very good.

First, Michael Gessling, age 58, would meet his biological mother in May 2025 before meeting up with his famous father and extended family in September 2025, the night before McDonald was set to grace the stage with the Doobie Brothers in St. Louis, the same town in which Gessling was raised by his adoptive parents before deciding to keep the story quiet until this month.

Despite not meeting his parents until he was around 58 to 59 years old, Michael claims he lived a good life with his parents Paul and Kate Gessling and works as a construction supplier, stating that he is quote, "...very grateful and very fortunate to have met and been able to spend time with his biological parents and to be discovered." In other news, there's been a number of tours that have been announced recently, with Powderfinger finally reuniting 16 years after their 2010 farewell tour, as they'll tour in 2027 across Australia.

Also touring down under next year will be Nickelback, DMAs, The Strokes and Disturbed.

While kicking off next month, Harry Styles, Iron Maiden, Benson Boone, 5 Seconds of Summer, Robbie Williams, Foo Fighters and Guns N' Roses all headline gigs down under.

Triple J were still looking for music for their teen audience.

The bands that they had supported in the decade so far, like UMI, Powderfinger, Regurgitator and Spiderbait, were all in their gross late 20s and early 30s.

Sure, there was Ben Lee, but he was on his third record.

It had been a while since they had a real blast of youth.

Killing Heidi's Weir made it to number 36 and The Living Ends All Torn Down at 93 rounds out the list.

Over in albums, The Living Ends debut is the highest at 13.

Silverchair's Neon Ballroom is at 16, Powderfinger's Internationalist is at 17, Benley's Breathing Tornadoes is at 62, Grinspoon's Easy is at 65, The Whitlam's Love This City is at 69, Jebediah's Of Someday Shambles is at 70, and Regurgitated Art is at 83.

So what to end with? Well, look, Regurgitator's art album is much maligned.
