It’s cold outside but things will heat up at The Old Bar on Friday 11 July when surf-party faves La Bastard are joined for an unforgettable party with very special guests!

KING WOLF have been getting a lot of attention round town of late for their uncontrollable ANIMAL SHAMAN BLUES performances which have seen them pack out the Labour in Vain hotel. Fronted by the magnetic Rich Davies (The Devil’s Union, Spun Rivals) they’re bound to tear the roof off the Old Bar!

La Bastard’s good buds Magic Bones have recently wound up a tour for their single “Round the Block” that has earned them props from Richard Kingsmill and a ton of Triple J airplay. A great band that’s not to be missed!

Tsugnarly‘s reverb drenched surf n’ roll sounds deliver a bad-ass beach party vibe that’ll get you dancing and reaching for a tropical drink.

Bands from 9m, it’s gonna be sweet!
