Melbourne Tunes & Laughs

Melbourne gets an A+ for entertainment. From the buskers (street performers) to gigs at pubs, the local bands are pretty awesome. Not to mention the gem we found at Public Bar - Wednesday night comedy featuring local acts! They were hilarious! There's always something going on in Melbourne and it's awesome. Here are a few of my favorites:

The Quarters @ Public Bar

PictureThe Quarters!
Last month we went to Public Bar and saw a few local bands play. The best part was that it was only $8 for a night of live music! We saw Captives from Tasmania, Stone Revival, FOAM from Western Australia and the Quarters from Melbourne. I wasn't a big fan of the first three, but I enjoyed listening to the Quarters. Their music can best be described as rockabilly, an early form of rock, mixing blues, country and rock together. If you like rock, country and blues, it's worth checking out their cd Tik Tik Boom!!

Amistat @ Bourke Street

In order to busk in Melbourne, you need to have a license., or so Zac tells me. Therefore, the music on the street is pretty decent. There's usually always someone busking in front of the National Library. A few times we'd sit and eat lunch in front of the library and just listen to music.. One day there was a Melbourne local, Scott Boyd, playing as we were eating. He had some great covers, but none of them compared to the cover of "Let it Be" by Amistat. I was blown away by the two brothers and bought my first CD since being in Melbourne. The $10 was worth spending - the five songs on the CD are amazing! If you love soft, acoustic, kind of poppy music, check out their cd It's Not Words. 


Below is the song that blew me away!

Comedy Night @ Public Bar

I don't usually seek out comedy acts, but for $5 who could go wrong?!?! After enjoying wings at Turf, followed by pierogi and tartufo at the Summer Night Market, we ventured over to Public Bar. It wasn't until we were sitting that I realized Dave Thornton was the headlining act - he was the MC at the comedy show I saw in Sydney! I liked him a lot, so I was excited to see him again! Tommy Dassalo was the MC for the night with acts from Damien Power, Natalie Harris, Ronny Chieng, Tommy Little, George McEnroe and Dave Thornton. My favorites were Tommy Dassalo, Damien Power, Tommy Little and Dave Thornton. Below you can find some of their stuff! They're really good!!! And a few of them are pretty cute ;)
