Don’t Thank Me, Spank Me! are back baby! After a yearlong hiatus, Melbourne’s garage-pop-rock n’ roll Fran Fine on dexie’s duo is re-united, revved up and rearing to do what they do best, put one hell-of-a show! Known for bringing stadium energy on a front bar budget, the bombshells have almost a whole new album worth of mega hits in their glitter cannon.
Ultra-feminine, super badass best friends forever Nitida Atkinson and Esther Henderson shred on matching fender mustangs, while singing in perfect harmony, charming the pants off everyone while disarming and kicking the patriarchy in the nether-regions one smash hit at a time. Come celebrate their first show back at The John Curtain with Pollyman, the sickeningly glamorous rock n roll outfit and rising-star mega-babes, Snake Thighs!
POLLYMAN
George Carroll Wilson's glam-rock-power-pop solo sonic onslaught POLLYMAN delivers unstoppable hooks and uncoppable looks with a sizzling, tantalising one-two combo of rock and roll and pop from the past, present and future.
With well oiled hips, electrical licks and pipes of platinum, Pollyman is muscled up by a dazzling and deadly 4 piece ensemble that’ll love you and leave you wanting more, more, more!
Pollyman is planning to release new music in 2026, so stay tuned and turn on. Pollyman.

SNAKE THIGHS
Leanne Borghini on drums; Billie Vinyl on guitar; Martini
McFly on bass; Kelly Python on vox/keys/sax. Snake Thighs
formed bit-by-bit over 2025 as each hottie felt the need for
a new outlet to play and write their own brand of
garage/surf/trashy noise n’ roll. Welcome to the club!

🖤 💛 ❤️
We acknowledge that this show is being held on the traditional lands of the Wurunjeri people of the Kulin Nation, and pay our respect to Elders both past, present and future
🖤 💛 ❤️
