Download: Operator Please Connect Me To Australia...
Australians know how to party. They're also pretty good at rocking out (just visit Thailand for proof) . Operator Please is a co-ed 5 piece from Gold Coast Australia and it seems they do both of those things very well. Their song "Get What You Want" was recently featured in this Australian commercial for Virgin Blue airlines which depicts a guy who's just trying to get what he wants in life. Originally the band was formed by lead singer Amandah Wilkinson so that she could compete in her school's battle of the bands.
Of course they won, but they never actually got the grand prize box of donuts they were promised. Rave reviews from NME and a feature on the front page of Myspace have been some consolation and now they're signed to EMI in Australia and Brille for the UK, living the dream of every band ever formed for a battle of the bands.
Check out the commercial above and download the song here.
