Reverie is a five-piece of rhythm and punk poetry — channeling the chaos of Babyshambles, the defiance of The Clash, the fire of Hendrix, and the lyrical spirit of Wilde and Dylan Thomas.

Bad Posture is a Punk/Metal outfit based in Naarm/Melbourne. They play in honour of their late guitarist and friend Taz and hope to channel his energy through their music.

Hiraeth - A Group Of 3 Hungry Rock Artist Filled With Angst And Ready To Bring In Real Music

Strap your dancing boots on for an afternoon of EXPLOSIVE hit tunes new, old and borrowed as the very wonderful Rockin’ Pelmets and raw new trio, The Magic Mile, proceed to smack you square in the synapses with some swinging rocknroll. The Magic Mile is a new trio with Ben Mellonie (Ten Gallon Head), Steve Whan (Brando Rising) and Steve Cole (Bam Balams) knocking out their favourite garage, glam-rock, punk and powerpop selections.

Entry is Free. Rock and roll from 4pm.

Speeding Vehicle is an exciting new 5 piece drawing from the obscure corners of 1970’s and 1980’s post-punk and new wave music. They’re bringing their music from the Gold Coast to Melbourne for the first time, supported here by the amazing new local jangle pop band High Jump (members of Program, Enola & ex Loose Tooth) and the beautifully dissonant Glass.

It’s spring! Which means Virgo season, (big news for gorgeous annoying people). Half of Mondo Cane are virgos and we thought what better way to celebrate than sinking a couple at Old Bar with some very talented friends. There will be dance music, rocking, rolling and some secret delights in store. Come party with us <3

To celebrate the release of their debut single “SPEEDIN”, Melbourne rockers SPEED BUMPS are playing their first headliner at The Old Bar! After gigging around town for the last few months, they’ve built a wicked sound mixing modern punk energy and classic Aussie rock and roll. Joining them are WA’s own LAST QUOKKA, as well as fellow Victorian punks HANGRENADE HEARTS, NAH, and THE RARTEL. Get your tickets quick, this’ll be a gig for the ages!!

We have a new album! Please join us at The Old Bar as we launch "Let's All Go to Mars" into the world.
We'll be joined by our good friends The Delvenes who are opening the show at a civilised late afternoon hour.
It's a free show! Come along, check out The Delvenes, and then hear our new album live on stage – with special guests if we're lucky

DOORS 3.30
DELVENES 4.00
PHOSPHENES 5.00

Borderline is what happens when four best friends grow up making music together and never stop. The New Zealand quartet - Ben Glanfield (vocals/guitar/keys), Jackson Boswell (drums/vocals), Matthew McFadden (lead guitar), and Max Harries (bass) - channel deep connection into a sound that’s as expansive as it is intimate. Blending shimmering pop, funk grooves, and soaring indie-rock anthems, Borderline is quickly becoming one of the most exciting new bands to break out of the Southern Hemisphere.

Formed in Auckland, the band began building momentum with their debut single “Spinning” and breakout Perfect Movie Scene EP. They’ve since earned millions of streams, cracked the NZ and U.S. college radio charts, and sold out shows across New Zealand. In 2024, they left school to pursue music full-time - a decision quickly validated by the success of “Heartbeat,” and their buzzy U.S. debut at SXSW and first UK shows at The Great Escape.

Their new EP Chrysalis (EMPIRE) pushes further, with standout singles “New Romance” (NZ Hot 20 #1), “When It’s Raining,” and “Breakdown” earning spins from BBC Radio 1, Triple J, and major college stations. At the heart of it all is their friendship. “If you can hear our connection in the music,” says Jackson, “that would be really special.”
