Play-Doh When was the last time you saw a singer wearing a pair of flaming sneekers? What about a drummer who spins, flicks and stands up to plays his drums? Or a guitarist and bass player that wrestle on stage in their underwear? Putting the capital “E” back into Entertainment is this bands motto and it is this determination which has proven to see Play-Doh rise as one of the most in demand party bands in Melbourne.
Elephant Gun are Todd Angus (vocals and guitar), Michael Barrett (guitar), Sean Dennis (bass) and Simon Murphy (drums).
Elephant Gun are pure rock. They formed in 1997 and after a few gigs, got their break with a record contract, releasing a 12 track CD called Albino in 2000.
If you dig Live, Alice in Chains and Jane’s Addiction, then check out Elephant Gun.
First up on the night is The Ranch Allstars.

Saturday 28 May
Maeder www.maederband.com
The Almaboobies www.thealmaboobies.com
The House of Chords
From 9.30pm - 3am, free entry
You don’t need to know where they’ve been to know where Maeder are coming from. From filthy riff to lung-busting scream to thunderous electric groove, it’s the universal sound of finest Australian-made rock. Imagine a band led by AC/DC’s Bon Scott, with Rose Tattoo’s outlaw edge and the Angels’ Brewster brothers riding shotgun, and you’re on the right side of the tracks.
The Almaboobies are breathing new life into girl rock. Once you have heard The Almaboobies live, you will know that there is still hope for all rock music. Ignoring all stereotypes and outside peer pressure, these three sisters are slowly but surely rocking the Melbourne scene and have now metamorphosised into the dynamic trio that now exists. You are now entering into the unchartered waters and unique world of The Almaboobies…..
The three sisters, Victoria, Elizabeth and Alexandra, form the line up of The Almaboobies. A unique rock band that performs a strong collection of their own wonderful original rock. They also have in their repertoire a varied collection of classic covers from the sixties to the modern day.
The Almaboobies, as a trio have been together for more than three years and as sisters for a great deal longer!! They have a bond that few bands throughout the world can boast, and have an ambition to succeed that rivals any.
To date they have two CD’s the first called “Ouch!” that was launched May 2004, the second “I Still Like Mar-mite!” that has just been completed. The songs from both CD’s were selected from their repertoire of currently 27 numbers, so there is ample room for the next few follow up’s. The Almaboobies are a truly fresh and original band that hold their own on any stage.
The House of Chords play a wacky style of rock who are side winding their way through the live scene and with their individuality generating a sound that can’t be pigeon holed and an energy that is unrivaled. This is the exciting original band you’ve been waiting for…
This four piece formed in 2003 and it consists of Peter Olsen (bass-vocals), mark McLeod (drums-vocals), Ben Guest (guitar-vocals) and Alan Murray (guitar-vocals). The boys play varied styles of music to captivate and excite the audience. They have a huge repertoire of covered and original songs to appeal to all kinds of people ranging from hard rock to ballads and even jazz.
Peter doesn’t only just play the bass guitar and sing, he is also a real wiz on the keyboard. He found his calling when The House Of Chords were formed and ever since then has been creating ways of how the band can become its best.
Mark has toured Europe and is a real assest to the band (as is everyother member) and is dedicated to go all the way. Mark is a sensational drummer with spectacular abilities that few have would ever dream of seeing. He teaches the drums and has many excited students that are following in his footsteps. He started playing drums at the age of 3 and has no let them rest since!
Ben is an oustanding gutarist also with fantastic abilities that would stun any audience. Jiving around the stage whilst doing technical solos s not something you see at all often. Ben is a guitar teacher with students that look up to him in amazement. You will always, without a doubt, see ben strumming away at his guitar!
Alan has a magnificent singing voice and an awesome sense of humour that would win any audience. He is so full of life and really gets into the music, jumping and whooping along with his band mates! Alan is a great guitarist that defiately compliments the whole band. He puts on an awesome show and is not to be missed!
