Direct from NYC, Dave "Smoota" Smith, Trombone player for everyone from Aaron Neville to Run The Jewels to Steven Tyler to Pharoah Monch, and touring the world with TV ON THE RADIO since 2011, takes a night aside to bless us with a set of the sultry r&b throbbers he crafts in his spare time. Blessed with a golden voice, a golden trombone, a majestic head of hair and a lifetime of trenchant insights into the sensual world, SMOOTA will no doubt have you scouring the city for a bottle of the SMOOTA PILLS featured in his "That Body Of Yours" video.
It seemed only fitting that we pair him up with like-minded local lounge acts CONG JOSIE AND THE HELLRACERS and RICHIE1250 & THE BRIDES OF CHRIST.

SUNDAY DECEMBER 14
$15+bf ($20 on the door)
7pm DOORS OPEN
7:30pm RICHIE1250 & THE BRIDES OF CHRIST

Its gonna be a really special afternoon, so come to The Old Bar and share in our excitement about what we reckon are by far our best songs yet.

We've got our good pals Unscored playing, we'll have some awesome exclusive merch and hopefully some other exciting things to make it a night to remember.

 THE STRIPP — Live at The Old Bar 

Melbourne’s own purveyors of high-energy rock'n'roll return to ignite the infamous Old Bar stage on Saturday 13th December 2025.

Primed to release their second LP in just a few weeks with a European tour booked for early next year, come experience The Stripp in all their glory before they embark on a pursuit of global domination.

Joined by a sonic wrecking crew – SPACE JUNK AND HOWL! - this is set to be a night of wall to wall hypnotic riffs and savage rock 'n' roll!

Tix $15+bf pre-sale/$20 on the door.

Doors 8pm.

J. Whitehead and The Dirty Realists will launch its first single ‘One More Day’ and its second single ‘Old Dogs’ at The Old Bar on Saturday 13 December at 4pm.

To celebrate the launch of my EP 'In the distance there is a party (I do not go)' I will be putting on a FREE Sunday afternoon show at my favorite drunk cousin Old Bar, Fitzroy, with friends Silent Income as support.

4pm - Silent income:
Silent Income delivers both disco dance bops as well as mellow rock-out moments. Sam’s daze-inducing guitar swirls and entrancing synths, combined with Marcella’s vocal melodies and curious lyrics, make for a dreamy trip through an emotional landscape in search of treasures such as authenticity and, simply, a good time. LIsten: https://silentincome.bandcamp.com/

5pm - Molly Mckew:
In the distance there is a party (I do not go) is the third release from Molly Mckew following her first 2022 EP I couldn't grasp it and her 2024 album It should have been done with ease. The 8-song release explores various states of inertia, romantic intoxication, emotional dysregulation, longing and fear. Molly will be launching the record at Old Bar on Sunday 7 December with her band. Her dreamy, harmony drenched, folk-pop is embellished by keys from Ryan Oliver, guitar from Sam Billinghurst Walsh and harmonies by Marcella Wright and Cora Diviny. Listen: https://mollymckew.bandcamp.com/

With friends The Nation Two and Cold Regards

They said it wouldn't happen... eight years is a long time..

We’re back at @theoldbar for our final Feel More Dumb show of the year with good pals @snailgunband. It’s another arvo show to set you up for whatever shenanigans you have planned for the first Saturday of December. Be there.
