Cheeky Geezers are a band of young teenage misfits who are living proof that age is no barrier when it comes to playing unadulterated rock’n’roll. In their short but illustrious career so far, the fiery trio of Teddy Friend, Nick Costa, and Rex Everett, have already graced the stage alongside such indie rock legends as EVEN, The Meanies, and The Hard-Ons.

In mid-2021, Melbourne’s uncompromising post-punk trio Plaster of Paris released their debut album Lost Familiar, an 11-track journey of groovy disco-punk with killer riffs and powerful vocals. Raw, edgy, and ferociously funny, the album was originally set for launch at The Old Bar in July 2021 but had to be rescheduled 3 times before it was finally launched in November of that year.
