Come down to The Old Bar in Fitzroy for a free Saturday afternoon rock show! Sydney siders Billy Puntton & The Mental Health Plan are making their first trip as a band to Victoria and local legends Catholic Guilt are gonna tear it up with 'em.

Saturday March 14
3:30PM
The Old Bar 74-76 Johnston St, Fitzroy

BILLY PUNTTON & THE MENTAL HEALTH PLAN(nsw)
TLDR: It's ADHD Powered folk-punk-rock with big angry sad songs that you will like.

Billy Puntton & The Mental Health Plan are a gang of chewed up nurodiver-djent punk rock-o-diles with a mean guitar bites that will puncture your heart. They’ll scream lyrics that’ll death roll you into an honest conversation with yourself and the black dog you call anxiety is about to be sent to a farm up the coast by 4 shredwater dinosaurs, hell bent on delivering the angst of a 100 year old MyChem fan, strawberry flavored harmonies and prehistoric power chords for riffs the size of a bus.

Musical influence is a healthy mix of skate punk, pop punk and folk punk including The Decline, AJJ, Days N' Daze, Pat The Bunny, Local Resident Failure and obviously, heaps more, but we're too embarrassed to say.

With their debut album 'K10' out in the world and some new singles on the way, this is a dose of realism and high energy punk that they think the people need.

“The Remotes (Ollie Browne Art of Fighting, Kristian Brenchley S:Bahn and Laura Macfarlane 99) will be launching their single ‘Ready for it’ from the forthcoming album of the same name out through Hobbledehoy Records. After many years apart these legends of the ‘90s  have come back together to make their first recordings since 1999’s Lonely Tremor. Supported by Flickering Stars and La Scimmia”

We’re stoked to lock in Nick Howells from @thedistantsouth for a set with us at @theoldbar March 15th. It’s going to be an awesome arvo of jangle and twang so put in your @filofax and bring some mates #altcountry #livemusic

Achey Peace is a hard-hitting, genre-blurring band that fuses the raw energy of hard rock, the intensity of alt rock, and the heavy, sludgy riffs of sludge metal. Known for their powerful sound and relentless live performances, Achey Peace takes listeners on a journey through dark, gritty landscapes, blending heavy grooves with introspective lyrics and a raw, unfiltered edge.

GIMMY & DRUID FLUIDS are heading out on a five date national co-headline tour with support from Royal Ratbags. 

Kicking off in the Northern Rivers at the Bangalow A&I Hall celebrating the launch of GIMMY’s new 7 track EP Labour Of Love followed by a DRUID FLUIDS hometown show in Adelaide, with Melbourne , Sydney and Newcastle to follow suit. 

GIMMY’s Labour of Love  EP , the follow up release to her 2024 debut album Things Look Different Now,  is a blended yet mixed bag of indie post-punk, with folk rooted songwriting  at the core of it. The intensity and the unpredictable chaos of GIMMY’s live performance is the band’s commitment to authenticity. 

This is the last chance to catch GIMMY before they head off to Europe/ UK on an extensive 21 date tour.  

DRUID FLUIDS  

Druid Fluids are an Adelaide-based psychedelic project led by songwriter and producer Jamie Andrew.

Blending psychedelic rock textures, classic progressive pop, jazz and experimental production, their songs evoke a depth of emotion that is
expressed but often not explained. They paint with colours reminiscent of Lennon and Floyd but the sum of these parts is fresh and compelling.
Their catalogue of original material, honours and evokes the most powerful tones of pop and rock song writing.

In live settings, Druid Fluids expand into a hypnotic visual and sonic experience, translating intricate studio work into transportive performances.


ROYAL RATBAGS 
Hailing from the back blocks of Mullumbimby ( Northern Rivers)  Royal Ratbags aka The Rats are a five piece 80’s influenced all female post punk outfit. 

From the very first note  of their super debut single Supermarket Woman, the industry has stood up and taken notice. Featured on RAGE , Triple J’s unearthed and a plethora of community radio stations across the country, the Australian music industry is celebrating the arrival of a new fem powered punk force ….and that is Royal Ratbags. 

Guys! Come along to The Old Bar on the 22nd of March for the ‘Root to Weed’ single launch. I’ll be playing with the incredible @thehollows.music as my supports!

When: 22 March
Where: @theoldbar
Tickets: Absolutely free 😱
Supports: @thehollows.music
Headliner: yours truly

SUBMARINE RECORDS PRESENTS:
A CURRENT FROM KYOTO
In March, a small current travels south.
From the underground rooms of Kyoto to the bandrooms and record shops of Victoria —
The Fax and Tokiyo Ooto arrive for a short, intimate run of shows,
with Meshia To Ninjin joining as special guests.
Fragments of psychedelic guitar.
Loops unfolding in real time.
Controlled noise.
Quiet immersion.
This is not a spectacle.
It’s proximity.
It’s texture.
It’s sound moving through small rooms and staying there.

Pinch Points are back! Returning after a two-year hiatus, your fave punk four-piece are hitting the Old Bar stage on Fri 27th March, ahead of their run up the east coast supporting Descendents. 

Come catch the band in action at their first show since late-2023, with local legends Trap Card and Equestrian Fields jumping on support duties. There’ll be singalongs (*shoutalongs), matching band getups, and all the usual PP antics.

Since forming in 2018, Pinch Points has become entrenched in the Naarm punk scene, playing hundreds of shows around town, opening Golden Plains in 2020, touring Europe twice, supporting IDLES on a national Aus tour, and nabbing two Music Victoria Awards. Their three studio releases Mechanical Injury, Moving Parts, and Process are still reverberating through headphones and spinning on community radio to this day.

It will be a rambunctious night of grungey, punky, alt rock as The Bartons rock out their debut EP Launch on March 28 at The Old Bar! Joining them on the night will be Cranes Against Clouds from Melbourne’s inner north and Sydney band The Vors to support the rambunctiousness!!
Lock it in!

Garage-rock/powerpop jukebox trio The Magic Mile return to Fitzroy's favourite watering-hole, The Old Bar! This time we are joined by the hot new line-up of The Blown Cones. Sunday afternoons are rarely this loud. Entry is free.

Damn Williams plays "Art-rock with teeth", channeling the bravado and theatricality of Scott Walker and 70’s Bowie through the raw immediacy of 90’s alternative bands like Guided By Voices and The Magnetic Fields, creating a dissonant sonic landscape that enriches its multifaceted narratives that introspectively explore abstract complexities of Australian life and nostalgia. What began as a solo project of former Tiger Choir frontman and bass player from Baglicker and Pretty in Pink, Elliot Taylor has evolved into a four piece family band featuring Olmer Bollinger (Baglicker), James Campbell (Tantrums, Ern Malley) and Lauren Mason (Pretty in Pink, Babysitter). The songs on their upcoming debut album, Dog Summer, were written and and arranged on Wurundjeri land over a four-year span and recorded at Head Gap studio, infusing each track with a sense of place and time, inviting listeners to journey through a tapestry of sound and story.
Join the band, along with special guests Dippers and Tom Lyncoln to celebrate the release of Dog Summer on March 29th 2026 at The Old Bar, Fitzroy.
