On the night of December 13th, 2024, at the Retreat Hotel in Brunswick, people exploded. Below, find their final recorded transmission:
“T-MINUS 3 SECONDS: *SHIRKHER EXPLODING*
T-MINUS 2 SECONDS: *MONDO CANE EXPLODING* T-MINUS 1 SECONDS: *BIGGER BOOT EXPLODING*
T-MINUS 0 SECONDS: *YOU EXPLODING*”
Our reporter, who could not afford the $15 ticket, had been dejectedly waiting for the 19 tram just out front on Sydney Rd. Muffled by walls and drowned by cars, never-before-heard songs by the headlining act Bigger Boot nonetheless filtered their way through to her ears. They were beautiful; they will not be heard again.
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.
