MAIN ROOM / FREE SHOW

What, did you think it was a once-off? Well, it wasn't.

The Groove Bandits are back again, this time fresh off the boat from a romantic hands-on art appreciation sabbatical in Paris. It turns out lucrative high-profile heists are far more cardio intensive than we'd initially assumed, so we decided the best way to get fit again is by doing a free pub show for the people.

Come join us on May 9th at The Retreat Hotel in BRUNSWICK (not to be confused with The Retreat Hotel in Abbotsford, nor Don Bosco's Retreat in Lysterfield, or even The Retreat Lakeside Hotel in Merimbula) for two sets of random-but-classic Bandits covers sure to make you rock out with your socks out and blow your cocks off (or is it the other way around?).

So why May 9th? Well, to celebrate the ratification of the 1386 Treaty of Windsor, of course! Treaty and Retreat nearly have the same letters, so fuck it, it's as good a reason as any. Or maybe it's just the date our collective partners, children and pets would allow us to do this…

The music & chaos kicks off at 8pm sharp and ENTRY is FREE, so you literally don't have any possible excuses for missing it. See ya there!

PS. We might have a certain famous painting on display... but it's a lot smaller than you think it is 😉

The Retreat Hotel would like to acknowledge the Wurundjeri People of the Kulin Nation, the traditional custodians of the land on which The Retreat now stands, and pay our respects to all elders past, present and emerging. We acknowledge that sovereignty has never been ceded and that our venue operates on stolen land.
