PBS is stoked to announce the next edition of MIDNIGHT DRIVER will be at Naarm/Melbourne’s most loved nightclub REVOLVER UPSTAIRS on Thursday April 24 (Anzac Day holiday eve) with PBS DJs MZRizk, Mike Gurrieri and Jonny Alexander, and Steady Weather performing live.
Performing live will be six-piece disco group Steady Weather, which features scene stalwarts Ben Grayson and Tamil Rogeon who bring to light organic dance music from Naarm’s rich dance and jazz community.
With a lineage that leads directly to the founding of groups like Australian funk royalty The Bamboos and orchestral beat music pioneers The Raah Project, Rogeon and Grayson not only bring that heritage to their music, but they also bring a philosophy of raw emotion and soulfulness to their productions. This performance from Steady Weather will feature Rita Satch on vocals who is fast becoming an unforgettable presence in Australia’s neo-soul movement.
Plus sets of disco and groove courtesy of PBS all stars MzRizk (Boogie Beat Suite), Mike Gurrieri (Mystic Brew) and Jonny Alexander (Audio Vitamins).
PLAYING TIMES:
Johnny Alexander: 9pm
Steady Weather (live) 10.30pm
Mike Gurrieri 11.30pm
MzRizk 1.30am

REVOLVER UPSTAIRS
Revolver Upstairs is located on the 1st floor at 299 Chapel St, Prahran. Unfortunately due to the age and heritage listing of building and the accompanying occupancy permit it is not wheelchair accessible. For people with limited mobility, not in a wheelchair the venue is relatively easy to navigate once upstairs, with the performance areas, bar and toilets on the same level.
PBS respectfully acknowledges the true owners of the land that this event takes place on the Boon Wurrung People of the Kulin Nation, their elders, past and present. Sovereignty has never been ceded - this event is taking place on stolen land.
Both PBS and Revolver Upstairs are proudly inclusive organisations and allies of the LGBTQI+ community and the movement towards equality.
