Just to prove that excellent music is not all about 60 year old's re-releasing albums from the 70's or reuniting after 20 years in the wilderness, along comes aussie band Operator Please, a fantastic indie combination of Joat Jett and the B52's, made up of kids who are all aged between 16 and 19.
They have had a massive hit in Oz and the Uk with 'Just a Song About Ping Pong' , have attended the Reading and Leeds Festivals in the UK and opened for none other than The Arctic Monkeys and Kaiser Chiefs on their Aussie Tours.
NME has also named them as an important up and coming band, no mean feat for 5 kids who started in high school for their local Battle of the Bands Competition.
Their first album 'Yes Yes Vindictive' has been in the shops in Australia since Noember 2007 but will be released overseas on March 3. 2008.
