Friday 7th June Sons Of Lee Marvin + La Bastard + The Yard Apes + Lake Palmer On FRIDAY JUNE 7, garage-gonzo stalwarts SONS OF LEE MARVIN team up with surf rockers LA BASTARD, rockabilly lads THE YARD APES and folk gang LAKE PALMER for a show at The Reverence in Footscray. SONS OF LEE MARVIN, having snuck a third album in under their belt last year, have shuffled some chairs on the deck and are back into it. Louder, looser and slightly more unhinged. LA BASTARD, have just come off a national tour to support their 2nd album, and more recently did a cracking month of Sundays at The Old Bar. They combine a super tight surf rock sound and groove with the incredible voice of Anna Lienhop out the front. Pretty freaking good. THE YARD APES, Ballarat’s favourite rock’n'roll geezers always entertain. Fresh from a show with psychobilly stalwarts the Fireballs, it’s hard not to love them really. LAKE PALMER, have been playing their folk-slash-country-slash-rock stylings in all of the small front bars in Melbourne for around 12 months now, they’ve got an album due for release later in the year. They tend to have themselves a bloody good time playing music. 8pm – Band room – $10 Facebook event |

Friday 19th July Admiral Ackbar’s Dishonourable Discharge + Prophets of Impending Doom (sa) + General Pants and the Privates (syd) + All We Need Admiral Ackbar’s Dishonourable Discharge heads to the Rev for the first time bringing in tow all the way from Adelaide The Prophets of Impending doom, Sydney General Pants and the Privates as well as South Melbourne nice guys, All We Need. “…but one of the most pleasant surprises of the night was the brilliantly named Admiral Ackbar’s Dishonourable Discharge, playing in the Basement stage. Imagine your lounge room with a couple of hundred of your closest mates and you’re about there with the vibe and atmosphere. The band had a crazy and chaotic groove going on, recalling the criminally underrated American band Fishbone. A real treat in a strong line-up. ” -Niel Evans, TOne Deaf. 8pm – Band room – $10 Facebook event |

Thursday 11th July Youth Of Today (usa) + Guests The legendary New York City hardcore band Youth of Today are heading to Australia this July, bringing with them the energy and emotion that make them one of the underground music scene’s most important groups ever. Formed in Connecticut in 1985 by Ray Cappo (vocals) and John Porcelly (guitar), with the aim to start a Straight Edge band at a time when most old school Straight Edge bands had disbanded, Youth Of Today established the youth crew subculture of hardcore, both espousing and evolving the philosophies of positive living. In the late 80s Youth of Today recorded the classics ‘Can’t Close My Eyes,’ ‘Breakdown The Walls, ’‘We’re Not In This Alone’ and the ‘Disengage E.P.’ Because of Ray and Porcell’s lyrics and music these records changed the lives of thousands of music fans word-wide. Having disbanded in 1990, in 2011 Youth of Today returned, bringing their timeless message and spirit back to hardcore listeners all over the world. 8pm – Band room Tickets onsale HERE |
