In the midst of the chaos that defined 2020, a suburban rock band was conceived out of the earnest intentions of its founder and vocalist Ashlea. Meet Spunk, the band that wears its heart on its sleeve and pours its soul into every performance.
At the heart of Spunk's discography lies Ashlea’s personal narrative, with songs that delve into her vices, challenging familial relationships, and the ups and downs of growing up in the western suburbs. All of these themes are brought to life with her sharp observational humour.
Ashlea’s performances are renowned for her unpredictability and physical dynamism, drawing audiences in and leaving them wanting more. She's backed by an equally talented group of musicians, including Adele on bass, Lauren on guitar, and Chloe on the drums. Together, Spunk creates a sonic landscape that merges speed and intensity, with dark and distorted guitar riffs. They’re an incredibly active, animated and hard working band that has pushed through the doors of every iconic Melbourne venue, and will continue to conquer them all. On this occasion, see them dominate the stage at the Old Bar every Sunday in June.
