ANGUS AND JULIA STONE
ARIA AWARDS: 5
Album of the Year, Best Adult Alternative, Best Cover Art, Producer of the Year and Single of the Year, 2010 “An Australian artist we really admire is Paul Kelly, his songwriting, his body of work, his observations of Australia and that constant exposing of where he’s at as an artist, the continual expression. Dumb Things is so Australian. It’s the larrikin. It sums up every Aussie kid – drinking goon and playing ‘goon roulette’; just doing dumb shit. It’s part of our culture to mess up a bit, to have the attitude to life of ‘nothing tried, nothing gained, nothing lost’. Paul Kelly really represents Australia in the way he can just tell a story.”
