I first heard Black Lab's song Wash It Away on Triple J while driving to work, perhaps in early 1998. At first I thought Australian singer James Reyne had done something really interesting - the vocals were of a similar style to his. After hearing it a few times, I put "Wash It Away" into Google (or similar) and found that the band was called Black Lab. Some number of months later I was walking through a local CD store, scanning the bargain table.
