MAIN ROOM / Free
FACEBOOK EVENT
Start 2023 off right with a warm evening of rock/ roll/ punk/ grunge/ indie/ sci-fi/ moist/ etc. at THE RETREAT, Brunswick. FREE ENTRY!
Support local live music! We need it now more than ever.
Local DIY live veterans WET LOVE will send you merrily deaf with their high-energy brand of "happy grunge". Debut album "I'm in Space" is a punk/ sci-fi/ hip hop concept epic with its tongue planted firmly in its cheek (and your bum if you play your cards right). You've never quite heard anything like it. Album out now everywhere for streaming and buying. Have at it!
VAN BERG are far younger, cooler, and more attractive than Wet Love. Their moorish brand of indie rock is a fine stir of The Smiths meet Jebediah, and they're a delight to watch live.
Up-and-comers NEVER AGAIN TOBY will have you ironically saying "Again!" at the end of their set. 90's angst, and deceptively catchy and beefy riffs are always a good time. Enjoy them before a large record company snatches them up and charges you way more to bear witness.
The Retreat Hotel would like to acknowledge the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation, the traditional custodians of the land on which the venue now stands, and pay our respects to all elders past, present and emerging. We also acknowledge that sovereignty has never been ceded and that our venue operates on stolen land.
