@Nevorian That sounds remarkably like Tears for fears - "Everybody wants to rule the world" at the beginning. Even more remarkable is that I heard her sing - the visuals were rather nice in a dirty old man kinda way.
The whole backing sounds like that song.
So much so that I would guess it is deliberate and credited.
The structure hardly differs.Apparently yes:
If it sounds a little familiar, it's because the song cleverly samples Tears For Fears' Everybody Wants To Rule The World, modernising the 1985 classic into a sleek little indie pop tune.

These dudes have been together for 50 years now. I can't think of any other band that has lasted so long without any personnel changes for one reason or another.
ZZ Top were the first major international band I saw live back in 1987. The crowd at Western Springs was reported to be ~80,000, which at that time was the largest ever for a concert in NZ.

La Grange and Tush are fucking awesome tracks.

Roger Nichols and Wendel: The Pioneer of Digital Drum Replacement
Story goes... One day in 1978, Donald Fagen of Steely Dan was not happy with the drum tracks they were recording. So he turned to his engineer and said, "Can't you make a f---ing machine that would be perfect?" Roger Nichols said, "So, ummmmm... Sure!" And that's how a "robot drummer" named Wendel was born.

my kids made me watch the ARIAs last night, and most of it was the expected dross, but these guys, who i had never heard of, put on a ripper of a performance
Welcome back Terrence

Welcome back Terrence
TTD at his peak was an amazing voice.
Those guys sound like they have raided Otis Redding's grave and found a portal back to 926 E McLemore Ave, Memphis in 1962
Love the sound but almost everything is a direct copy. The voice (and vocal affections) of Otis, the guitar of Cropper, the bass of Dunn. I'm surprised they haven't got Booker T to do some keys.Done very well though, which other imitators have failed at.

@Crucial it's a very fair point. But i love this type of music. Otis Redding is dead. These guys are not, and are making new stuff. All power to them.

Don't get me wrong, I like it. If I hadn't seen the video and just heard this playing I would have been diving on the web searching for some new remastered release from Stax that I hadn't picked up on.

Just been channel surfing with Mrs Boo and landed on The Seekers 50th anniversary concert(s) on Foxtel 806 (Smooth).
Took us both back to the early 70s ...
And jeez just how awesome and how effortless was Judith Durham? Faaark she was good. She still is in her 70s.

And by the way, any pop group with the lead dude (Atjol Guy) who plays a double bass is ultra cool.
Have I said how fucking awesome Judith Durham's voice is? Fuck she is cool.
Also, their banjo player, Bruce Woodley, wrote I am Australian which I'm kind of jealous of in terms of inclusivity. That should be how NZ is. Cool song.

James Taylor Quartet now playing background for the day.
My Judith Durham collection for me (not going to take long) but she is quite something I hear.
Yep. Quite something.

@Crucial You are going to make me google her (so to speak) aren't you.
Being curious is a real curse. I'm not going to be able to unhear or unsee this am I.
Imagine an older Raelene Castle

Turns out I'm not as curious as I thought.
