Featuring support from Adelaide's own The Overits and more.

Expect a sweaty night of blasting horns, punk anthems and a real throwback to the power of the community of punk and ska music.

The Kittyhawks
Loonee Tunes first formed in 1982. Loonee Tunes started as school friends playing off beats in a factory way out east. Their first gig was at the Aberdeen Hotel
in North Fitzroy. They had a one hour slot and being nervous they sped through the set in 1/2 hour. They all came off to a rousing reception only to be told to go
back on stage and play the entire set again!

Loonee Tunes have a wonderful history of support spots over the years and have played with Rick Wakeman, Australian Crawl, Mental As Anything, Eurogliders, Corpse Grinders and, most recently, The English Beat, Bad Manners, Melbourne Ska Orchestra, From the Jam and the Ska Nation Festival.

Loonee Tunes has a long history of which the British Soul sound is a large part. Our music is influenced by Ska, Northern Soul and British bands such as
The Style Council, Dexy’s Midnight Runners and The Specials. What is Ska? You may ask, we like to say that it is Rocksteady and Reggae on speed. lots of fun
and energetic as all hell.

Their frontman Adam, is as spontaneous as they come. You never know what he will do next but you will be entertained. Excellent vocals and lots of energy that the crowd loves. In fact, all the members are excellent, professional musicians with members coming from bands such as, Bjorn Again, Melbourne Ska Orchestra, Damsel Eyes, Agents of Reverb, No Nonsense and also provide the energy to get a crowd going straight away. Their vibe is addictive and watching the crowd enjoy themselves is an absolute pleasure. Often mentioned on PBS 106.7 (Blue Juice) and Ska Nation Radio with Beefy, using positive vibes, great songs and energetic events Loonee Tunes infuse a crowd and get the venue dancing…turning spectators into die-hard fans.

Loonee Tunes remain one of the hardest working bands in Melbourne and continue to bring out their best at every show.
