*Events at The Casbah are 21+ with a valid ID* “The Hottest Aussie band since Amyl & The Sniffers.” In 1964, a band of mod-suited mop-tops from Liverpool, England arrived on the shores of New York City and kicked off an explosion of Rock & Roll that historians would come to refer to as “The British Invasion.” And now, in 2026… The Aussie Invasion is coming. This summer the world’s pre-eminent Bogan Funk band Playlunch are setting sail for North America and bringing their unique brand of raucous dance tracks to the masses. https://youtu.be/7PTvxw4fc9M?si=Gk4KnDStsGh0NO8Z So what exactly is Bogan Funk? It’s basically what happens when a bunch of Aussie blokes who grew up playing INXS covers at the local pub set out to try and become the new Kool & The Gang. Think… James Brown meets Crocodile Dundee. Earth, Wind & Fire meets Amyl & The Sniffers. And it seems to be exactly what the world was waiting for… https://youtu.be/YBuVloFXQCw?si=mmldjhNm_SiDu9AJ With more than 30 million views across platforms, the Melbourne 7-piece have become one of the hottest acts emerging from the land down under. Placing #4 in Triple J’s Hottest 100 of 2025, their viral track ‘Keith’ has taken the band international - capturing even the attention of Canadian rapper Bbno$ https://youtu.be/ZpuzyEFnUG8?si=zMRo1oSpDEizE8Nn “Let’s face it, it’s a confusing time in America at the moment - and people could probably use a good night out” says frontman and bandleader Liam Bell. “We’re hoping to come over and give people something they’ve truly never seen before. Expect Pool Noodles, Speed Dealer sunnies, and a lot of colourful language that probably isn’t quite so endearing in the states as it is back home.” Set to be one of the most anticipated debuts of 2026, this tour is your chance to experience the once-in-lifetime spectacle that is Playlunch before the rest of the world finds out about them
