is returning to Melbourne and will be taking over
Lulie Tavern at
225 Johnston St, Abbotsford every Friday in February from 7pm, starting with
Friday 3 February 2023 until Friday 24 Feb, with two other Fridays in-between on the 10th and 17th. They'll be bringing along some of the most exciting live acts that include Auntie Leo & The Backstabbers, Loretta Miller, Thee Cha Cha Chas, Salarymen and more for another month of non-stop live music.
Auntie Leo & The Backstabbers will be unleashing the blurred tones of their 60s surf rock-meets-spaghetti western tunes with fan-favourite tracks like "Space Garden" and "Roaches", before the distinct Femmericana twang of the final co-headliners in Madeline Leman & The Desert Swells step up. Asserting a similar sound of 60s & 70s surf rock and pop, the band have seen fans fall head-over-heels with their soulful and lush grooves, influenced by the strong female protagonists of bygone eras. Make sure you're there to soak it all in.
Hot on their heels, the following Friday 10 Feb, the self-titled "ultimate party band" Thee Cha Cha Chas joins the party with the release of their debut EP Runnin'out of Time. Their raucous brand of fuzzy rock'n' roll will have you on your feet as they ooze their barrage of undeniably heavy garage-punk bangers through the Tavern. On the same night, Support Act and Melbourne rhythm and blues veterans The Breadmakers will be bringing their wealth of talent to the stage, along with their 60s Louisiana swing from their 2020 self-titled EP.
Loretta Miller powers into Fri 17 Feb with her lush vocal melodies. Following suit, Annie-Rose Maloney will ensure there's no room on the main floor, closing the night with slow-burning ballads best paired with a frothie in hand.
Bringing the month of non-stop live music to a close on Friday February 24, is the charming blend of pop, psych and folk outfit Salarymen. They'll be letting their Indie sounds cut loose at the Tavern, while Victorian-based punk-rock posse Fane Girl steps up as the Tavern calls last rounds and echoes the evening to its final stages. They have been praised for their storytelling ability, creating an uptempo melting pot of carefree indie-rock bops merged with snappy, lawless melodies.
Local legend DJ Pistol Pete Whelan, will be on-ground to get crowds ready for the spectacular line-up of live acts. Drinks will be pouring all month long with Young Henrys serving up mouth-watering frothie specials throughout the series.
