They certainly seem to have a good thing going right now.  

I have wondered how well received these bands are in Australia.  I know with the advent of the internet, scenes don't always have to do well where they originate anymore.  For example, Periphery is from a town that's about an hour from where I live, and it seems like no one around here knows who the hell they are.  Yet they can go overseas, pack out venues, and headline major tours.

Not really up-to-date with Aussie Prog, but we can boast Sebastian Hardie and Windchase, both top-shelf Prog bands ala Camel
I doubt we are a Prog 'hotbed' though. There's no mellotrons here being used...

Must confess I've never heard of any of those bands before. Embarrassed

Only Aussie Prog I know is The Church. Thumbs Up
