@ Archies Creek Hotel

This June, master storyteller Lachlan Bryan will be teaming up with Emily Barker, an award-winning Australian singer-songwriter. Barker’s new album, Fragile as Humans, is her first album for nearly four years, following A Dark Murmuration of Words, which Uncut called “...a kind of Australian equivalent of PJ Harvey’s Let England Shake” and which NPR’s Ann Powers acclaimed as “One of the most literate and probing folk albums of the year.” A must see show!

Painters and Dockers Are Heading Back to Archies Creek this June! Live shows by the Painters and Dockers are a total entertainment experience. A band based in punk rock, power pop with soulful horns, instant classic songs, flamboyance and showmanship as good as it gets. It’s not a superior air that they bring to the stage – it’s a communal, one-in all-in let’s take this baby to the stars and hang there as long as we can in an orgy of outrageous exuberance. The gig IS the after-party, right from the start, and everyone’s invited!

Archies Creek Arts, Wonthaggi Meats and Dirty 3 Wines present Quiz Night with your hosts Celia Church and Jon von Goes. Celia will sing, Jon will talk. Equal parts TV tonight show and pub quiz night. Doors 7.30, quiz 8.00. BYO nibbles, drinks at the bar. Get a team together, book a table, win a meat tray.

Join MAMA KIN SPENDER as they share new songs from their concept album PROMISES (out August 25), exploring love’s optimism, decay, rampage, and transformation. Their sound is a raw fusion of garage, soul, and folk — driven by pounding drums, dynamic percussion, and blistering guitar. Howling harmonies into the abyss, raging against the rot of the mundane, careless behaviours, childish reactions. This tour is a rally cry to the heart — don’t miss it!
