Pure Pop is very pleased to confirm Paul Kelly as a special guest performer at Raise The Roof for Pure Pop at Prince Bandroom Friday, 11 May From 6pm!
Local hipsters and music afficinados will be familiar with Pure Pop Records in Barkly Street St Kilda and their famous beer garden gigs, which have regularly hosted local musical glitterati such as Conway Savage, Charles Jenkins & Tim Rogers, along with bands from all around Australia including The Gin Club, Halfway, Steve Kilbey and Kate Miller-Heidke amongst others. Their intimate stage has also hosted international artists including Barry Adamson, Academy Award winners The Swell Season, Charlie Parr and Dean & Britta (Luna/Galaxie 500) for over 6 years.
Pure Pop is possibly the only record store, cafe, live music venue in the world - and they have heaps of devoted local patrons to prove it. The beer is cold, the staff is friendly and the music is beyond awesome. However, in the recent past, noise restrictions and an early curfew were imposed and nary a drum kit has graced the stage at Pure Pop in quite sometime....
And so, with all this in mind, store owner Dave Stevens has decided to love his neighbours while future-proofing Pure Pop by enclosing and soundproofing the courtyard and stage to benefit future generations of popsters and pop stars.
Dave is thrilled to announce a stunning lineup of artists who will perform at Raise The Roof For Pure Pop including:
Paul Kelly
Ron S Peno & The Superstitions
Henry Wagons
The Underground Lovers
Charles Jenkins
Davey Lane
Alex Lashlie
Pony Face
Hamish Cowan (Cordrazine)
Chris Russell's Chicken Walk
There will be 3 full band sets with special guest artists performing a couple of songs each.
Dave said, "All the artists are donating their time and talents in support of Pure Pop and live music in Melbourne and we have more surprise announcements to come, so get your tickets now."
“We can't wait to raise the roof at the Prince Bandroom, listen to loads of great loud music and raise funds to secure Pure Pop's courtyard stage for future generations of artists and fans."
Get tickets to Raise The Roof at Pure Pop Records, 221 Barkly St in St Kilda or online at www.purepop.com.au or www.princebandroom.com.au for $50.00 plus bf.
