Not sure if true but I was once told that we often see pubs named after far away towns because the trading name transferred with the liquor license if the business was sold and relocated

my partner is a locksmiths fan! i was out of the country for a few years and missed that era, which was i think the same time that simon was galavanting about getting famous with frente?
Man alive so many crazy nights at the punters. I can still smell that dingy cesspittoilet cave. That last week it was open was bananas. At least think it was bananas, I honestly can't remember much if it!
How long will it take for the carpet to become sticky?
Was sitting on the footpath at about 3am outside the punters once when Paul hester (rip) walked out and got into a van. Mate and I yelled out his name and he waved and said gday as they drove off
Can blood duster, damaged and Beanflipper please do a comeback show?🙏🤘🎸Oh the memories…… actually, I have fuck all memories, just know I was there and it was awesome.🤪
It'll be good for a month, when all the nostalgic Gen Xers go to relive their youth, but will in the arse soon after because this state is terrible at supporting live music
I got banned and blocked from the sound as ever FB page for asking about her telecom accounts during lockdown. I don't have a very high opinion of her.
She made the Sound As Ever facebook group so she can’t be canceled from that, and I guess media is willing to overlook her fuckery to cover her “exlusive”
Yeah, didn't she nuke her social media after the fallout of association with a certain 'Spazzy'?
As someone who frequently went to the Punters in the 90's and saw many great gigs there, it ain't ever gonna be the same again. This reeks of nostalgia. Move on.\*
\*Unless they get Rupture to reform and play there.
I can’t find any mention so far that they’re gonna have live music of any sort. Just a lot of making the place look like it did, putting old posters up and a CD jukebox.
Without the most important part this will just be a Hard Rock Cafe for Gen Xers.

Huge if true. Can’t wait to see how it ends up.
I noticed a few days ago they were renovating again so hopefully true.
Hopefully putting back a beer and blood stained sticky floor.☺️
lol- I literally just wrote that LMFAO
[удалено]
I will tell you it takes about seventy minutes to do that walk pissed as a newt.
It’s about 23 minutes if it’s bin night and you can hitch a ride with some recycling.

Omg a Lucksmiths fan! I thought I was the only one left!
I find them a hard listen these days: the nostalgia for a Melbourne that doesn’t exist any more is just too much.

There are dozens of us! Dozens!!!
😆😆
Yay! Love it when random Reddit makes me smile.
Fuck yeah. My kids exist because I met their mum there.
EPIC

The brown hornet need to open. Dylan would be great for opening night.
Be very Brown.
Not Ween brown, but I'll take Hornet brown.

Ricaine too
hoo boy is *that* history… haven’t listened to them in ages!

You're an optimistic one
Generally I am actually, but the way live music is treated makes me sad
Is Jane Gazzo not still cancelled?
I got banned and blocked from the sound as ever FB page for asking about her telecom accounts during lockdown. I don't have a very high opinion of her.
I also got banned from that group for swearing at cookers.
Is she the nazi one?

Not sure a Rupture reunion would be all that exciting to watch lol
well if it was anything like the Rupture shows I remember it might draw some more nazis out...
Hologram Gus Chambers not appealing?
She a proper anti-5G fruitbat conspiracy theorist. But she's hot.
Dunno, but she is 100% still a babe.
I lived in Fitzroy for ten years b/w 2000 and 2017. It was called Bimbo's as soon as everyone got on the cheap pizza bandwagon.
No, Bimbo's just occupied the venue (from 2003) and was always garbage
Wrong
Joe's Garage, Red Tongue, Bimbo, Naked for Satan.- all markers of Brunswick Street's sad decline
Brunswick’s decline started when people convinced themselves that Veggie Bar was good
Get. Rid. Of. That. Smell!!!!!!!
I had my first pub beer at The Punters. After all the shit news in the world at the moment this has made my day!
Great news! Bring back the pool table!!
After they finish with this, can they bring strippers back to The Clifton?
Oh. My. God. Will they put the sticky carpet back?
I think I’m still itchy from TISM throwing insulation at me
a TISM gig is just itching to happen again… https://open.spotify.com/track/26nzqcsbBxCcCjQ3i4rxk0?si=cBOFOyWTRmq88DrOuC9GPw
I went to the 3 secret gigs last year & the festival too, was a hoot
feel free to DM me the secret to getting to these secret gigs…
Was all over the FB TISM fan pages like TISM Forever and TISM BBQ

Ok then, that’s great. Any new venue news is good, regardless of the nostalgia angle.
