The Fiction played their first show in '78 supporting the Young Charlatans for Bruce Milne. Rob Griffiths began Little Murders and Rob Wellington began International Exiles. 40 years later we reformed to release a cassette of our first songs discovered in a garage. 2 more albums and 2 tours of Japan later, we're working on a new album with new drummer Jim Richter.
The Tommys are a 3 piece Surf rock band who rip(tide) up any stage. It's the Beach Boys on steroids! The Dum are a brilliant new 4 piece featuring members of Dead Rodeo, the Music Department and Better Than Sex. Expect chaos, humour and fascination.
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.
