Remembering The King - A Date With Elvis at The Old Bar
On the 48th anniversary of the day that many people believe ELVIS PRESLEY left the building for the last time, we will be paying tribute to his musical, cultural and spiritual legacy with a P-A-R-T-Y like no other. Bringing together lunatics, professional performers, those who are both, and everyone in between. We’ve gathered the cream and the crop in Elvis-related variety entertainment to give Melbourne one more chance to revel in the glory of The King!
THE ELVIS BIG BAND - Australia’s premier Elvis tribute show rock and rolls into town, ready for a little more action. Their spectacular musicianship and showmanship regularly fill much bigger venues, so get your tickets now or never. An ever-so-slightly smaller big band to fit The Old Bar stage, but missing none of its burning fire!
THE DILAPIDATED DIVA - Chanteuse cabaret overload from the edge of reality. Award winning and hot off a Comedy Festival stint, The Diva is true Fitzroyalty. Not only will she entertain with song, she will also rule the mic as MC. Get ready for The Dilapidated Diva's Pelvis... for Elvis!
DANCING BEAR - When renowned sculptor and performer Dean Smith Dancing Bear gets his mojo working, you’ll be all shook up. Whether wielding a chainsaw or a guitar, this big hunk o’ love is a spinout!
FORCED CONTRACT - Good rockin' and mess of blues from Atticus Stoneking. Let yourself go!
PEANUT BUTTER AND BANANA BACON SANDWICH - Young, loud, shakin’ and bacon. Catch ‘em before they leave the building!
