Yours, Georgina is the folk-rock project of Naarm/Melbourne-based musician, Georgie Currie. She draws her name from the gut-punching sincerity of her cursive songwriting and the arresting, singular strength of her voice. For the first time in almost two years, Yours, Georgina is returning to share new music. This special show at The Old Bar marks the beginning of a new chapter, as Yours, Georgina and her band celebrate the release of 'Keepers', a rousing and tender song about travelling home to the places and people who raise us, and savouring precious, fleeting moments of togetherness.

A.C. Saunders is an Australian alt-folk artist with influences from punk blues and country. Her songs are raw and close to the bone. A.C. shares stories that refuse to resolve cleanly, embracing the mess that makes us human. There’s an honest intimacy to her writing; each song is less of a statement and more of a moment caught mid-thought. Her sound is stripped back and unguarded, built around worn-in chords and a voice that carries both weight and warmth.

A.C. has recently played at the Nannup Festival and shared the stage with indie icons Throwing Muses, as well as joining folk legend Willie Watson on the road for his Australian tour. With two EPs under her belt, A.C. is now working on the release of her first album, accompanied by her band: Phil Leggett, Zack Glass, and Sally Ingram. Catch A.C. Saunders with her band at their upcoming single launch for “Telephones.”

Cup is a band that makes hard and very loud that’s catchy in a painful way. Cup has a show at the end of this month on Sunday the 31st May at The Old Bar... maybe you can come and bring your friends and have a fantastic time, maybe even - when on this Sunday thee come. With supporting acts from Hypnagogic and Hellphx. $15 for 3 bands?

That's $5 a band. You can't buy anything with 5 dollars anymore, but you get 3 $5 shows back to back, how neat is that! Because we're generous.

Described by Happy Mag as “The greatest band you’ve never heard of.” DOLLS have been carving out an exciting name for themselves in Naarm over the last few years. With riffs that'll scratch that itch lodged deep in your ear hole, beats to get your body moving in ways it never has and a powerful live energy that will leave you thinking "what the hell just happened?" DOLLS are a dish best served live.

Join them at Old Bar this June as they launch their latest single "How Do I Sit With This?" A song that smashes together elements of every genre EVER to speak about the loneliness that comes with the pursuit of self growth. Accompanied by two of the best, BELLHOP and ZERO CITY, this is the type of gig you will still be talking about right up to your final days in the old folks home. 

Something wicked this way comes… Join us at Old Bar on June 6th for a show that would make Hecate herself shudder! Trap Card, joined by dear friends Loveboner, Clit Split, and My Guardian Angel, beckon forth the spirits of rock and roll in a seance that won’t soon be forgotten!

“To describe Beastwars live show in any certain terms would be doing them an injustice, as it is an experience that needs to be lived out to fully appreciate it.” TONE DEAF

Wellington sludge-psych metallers Beastwars have been tearing up stages in New Zealand and Australia since 2008. With 5 internationally acclaimed albums under their belts they have a reputation for delivering intense and visceral live performances. The group abide by one steadfast maxim: Obey the Riff. Described as “a mongrel mix of Kyuss, Neurosis, and the mighty Godflesh...” (NZ Herald) and playing “heavy tunes for heavy times” (ALARM), the Wellington-based sonic soothsayers utilise the chaos that engulfs our world as ammunition for their defiant howls into the abyss.

“The level of power projected by Beastwars was unfathomable... something you’d expect from an encore-demanding stadium crowd... I can’t remember the last time I’ve seen a crowd lose their minds in such a manner.” - BEAT MAGAZINE ‍

“Beastwars melds hulking doom and sludge metal with earth-quaking noise rock […] Their live prowess is downright legendary.” NOISEY
