Atomic: The Songs of Blondie

Atomic: The Songs of Blondie returns to George Lane, St Kilda on Friday 13 February, with doors opening at 7:00pm. The performance revisits the music and cultural impact of Blondie, tracing the band’s evolution from New York’s underground club scene to their emergence as one of the most influential acts of the late 20th century.

Rather than focusing solely on chart successes, the set draws from across Blondie’s catalogue, pairing well-known singles with deeper cuts that reflect the band’s stylistic range and experimentation. The approach highlights the tension between punk, pop, new wave, and disco that defined Blondie’s sound and set them apart from their contemporaries.

The lineup is led by vocalist Anthea Palmer, joined by Stu Thomas (The Stu Thomas Paradox, Dave Graney & The MistLY, Kim Salmon & The Surrealists), Mike Dupp (The Methinks, The Futurists), Victor Stranges (The Methinks, The Futurists), and Garry Allen (Crossbones Boogie, Kahuna Daddies).

Blown Cones + Alison Ferrier & The Upshots (George Lane Matinee Sessions)

Blown Cones are an Australian alternative rock band known for their gritty sound, wry lyricism, and heartfelt edge. Formed in Melbourne by Michael J. Hager and Andrew Bailey, the band began as a raw, homegrown project that captured the restless energy of suburban creativity — mixing garage rock intensity with melodic experimentation.

Melbourne’s own singer/songwriter/guitarist Alison Ferrier with her fabulous band the Upshots; Dave Folley on drums, Alics Gate-Eastley holding down the low end and Jeff Lang on electric guitar. Expect to hear sublime three-part harmonies and influences of folk, blues, country and rock.

Love Police Present Jeffrey Martin (USA) w/ Matthew Colin

Love Police is proud to welcome Portland, Oregon songwriter Jeffrey Martin
for his first ever Australian tour this March, bringing his quietly powerful songs and humble storytelling to intimate stages and festivals across the country.

From a small backyard shack in southeast Portland, Martin recorded his new album Thank God We Left The Garden through two cheap microphones, often holding his breath to wait for the sound of a passing truck. What began as simple demos became something else entirely: a record a live with stillness, honesty, and the magic that only arrives when a songwriter lets the world fall away.

Grainne Hunt (IRE) + Great Aunt (George Lane Matinee Sessions)

A queer, nu-folk, singer-songwriter with a voice like complex coffee, Gráinne Hunt is a standout among Ireland’s most compelling vocalists and songwriters – blending raw emotion with a quiet, commanding power.

“The Irish Joni.” Michael Londra

Her two original records and new live EP, draw from deeply personal experiences, weaving stories of pain, longing and joy, earning her comparisons to Tracy Chapman and Natalie Merchant.

Great Aunt is an award-winning Australian folk duo known for their soaring harmonies, unique instrumentation, and heart-felt live performances. Winners of the 2024 Folk Alliance Australia Duo of the Year, Megan Bird and Chelsea Allen blend folk, country and roots music with influences from their backgrounds in punk, jazz, soul, and rock to create a sound that is at once familiar and entirely their own. With four U.S. tours under their belt and a debut full-length album, It’s All Downhill From Here, due in early 2026, the duo will return to North America for festival and concert appearances in 2026. Their music is equal parts joyful and vulnerable, and delivered with warmth, wit, and soul.

Multiple Ticket Prices + BF.
