Barwon Club hold their first seated gig this month, but you’ll want to be on your feet for the rest of their shows

Melbourne verandah-punk favourites The Coolabahs are bringing their raw, heartfelt energy back to Geelong for a massive single launch at The Barwon Club Hotel. Celebrating the release of their latest track, Trash For Another Lifetime, the band will be joined by local heavy-hitters In The Esky and Split State for a stacked night of live music. Fresh off a breakout year of releases, interstate shows and a standout support slot with The Smith Street Band, The Coolabahs have built a reputation for infectious hooks, honest storytelling and unforgettable live performances. With In The Esky and Split State adding their own punch to the bill, this is a showcase of some of Victoria’s most exciting emerging talent.

The Barwon Club is set to become a temple of heavy riffs, crushing grooves and nu-metal nostalgia as three of Australia’s leading tribute acts unite for a massive night celebrating Limp Bizkit, Rage Against The Machine and Metallica. Sydney’s Insignificant Other bring the chaos and swagger of nu-metal icons Limp Bizkit, delivering all the hits from Nookie to Break Stuff. Melbourne’s Killing In The Dame channel the explosive energy and political fire of Rage Against The Machine with their powerful female-fronted sound. Geelong locals Aussietallica complete the triple threat, recreating Metallica’s legendary journey from thrash-fuelled beginnings to stadium-sized anthems. Three bands, three eras, one huge night of metal mayhem.
