The Rebelles + BackBeat (George Lane Matinee Sessions)

Immediately recognisable on any stage, The Rebelles create a wall of music built of rock’n’roll instrumentation, sung harmonies, and red and black outfits. With sweet voices and sassy energy, they play a delicious mix of girl group classics and their own inspired originals, each stirred up with a dollop of punk gusto.

At George Lane, The Rebelles will be supported by BackBeat, who transport the catchy hooks and raw energy of the early era of the Beatles to today’s audiences. For those who didn’t happen to be around the clubs of Liverpool and Hamburg in the first half of the 1960s, BackBeat will make you feel like you were there.

The Warner Brothers

In 1987, when James Stewart and Dan Warner added a rhythm section to their guitar duo, the locals, as a joke, started calling them ‘The Warner Brothers’. Way before ‘alt-country’ was even thought of as a genre, The Warners were paving the way for the next generation of country lovin’ folk in the inner city. In fact, the band’s first 1992 single ‘Stuck in Melbourne’ still somehow remains a weird singalong country lament– a tiny lamplight searching its way out of the depths of the grunge era.

On Friday 13th of June, The Warner Brothers return to St. Kilda for the first time in more than 30 years. James and Dan are still trading blows up the front- and are joined by original drummer James Carden as referee and bass player Alics Gate-Eastley as the voice of reason. A rare show down south.
