NEW LEASE, WHO’S THIS? Last year The Curtin was excited to sign an extended lease, ensuring the historic pub remains a live music venue. What better way to celebrate than a new run of NEW LEASE Saturday afternoon FRONT BAR ROCK CONCERTS. Curated by none other than Rhys Renwick of Rhysics (and a thousand other bands), The Curtin is providing the go to destination for your Spring & Summer arvos. Our first lineup is OUZO! & REVV OUZO! have been making a name for themselves as one of the most dynamic live acts of the last couple years. Blending a classic Melbourne post punk sound with high energy garage sensibility they are sure to blow the front bar away. REVV are named after the high performance milk brand, and just like the milk brand, they are a VITAL part of your daily intake. Make REVV the start to your Saturday (assuming you start your Saturday at about 3pm when they play).

Post-punk quintet screensaver are set to ignite The Curtin on Saturday October 21st with the launch of their sophomore album 'Decent Shapes'. Since their formation in 2019, screensaver have consistently delivered the post-punk goods, combining classic era vibes with contemporary influences, creating a sound that is as dark as it is danceable. In 2022, the band embarked on their first international tour to the US, playing sold out shows in Austin, Chicago, and New York, as well as the legendary Gonerfest in Memphis. With previous releases garnering attention from the likes of Henry Rollins, Iggy Pop, The Sleaford Mods, and Rolling Stone Magazine, screensaver have quickly cemented themselves as one of Melbourne's most intriguing and exciting bands. Helping them celebrate the launch of 'Decent Shapes' are fellow contemporaries Cong Josie and The Hell Racers, The Neuros and It Thing.
