Missed the $4000 it was going to cost me all up...so went and just saw the Doves play Sydney 6 mths later. Would have loved to have seen Cherry Ghost however.

Alternative country (sometimes alt-country,[1] insurgent country,[2] or Americana[3]) is a loosely defined sub-genre of country music, which includes acts that differ significantly in style from mainstream or pop country music. It has been used to describe country music bands and artists that have incorporated influences ranging from roots rock, bluegrass, rockabilly, honky-tonk, alternative rock, folk rock, and particularly punk.

Sorry Hamo, I can't tell! I'm just quoting wikipedia! I'm terrible with "sub-genre" especially metal ones...
