Don’t Thank Me, Spank Me! celebrate their first ever tour to ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Japan! ⭐️⭐️⭐️ with a send off gig at The Old Bar on Jan 18. With supports from local stars Arabella and the Heist and Loretta Miller Band, and a late night set from DJ Richie 1250, this will be a night to remember.
DTMSM have established a unique sound that combines the rebellious spirit of The Runaways with the catchy melodies of The Bangles, pop songwriting ala Britney Spears and the sass and flamboyance reminiscent of Prince. With hard hitting harmonies and shredding solos DTMSM tear the roof down with their rock n roll energy.
Their 2024 was jam packed with successes. Their debut album, Don't Thank Me, Spank Me!, released in 2024, has been highly praised by Australian music fans. Their album launch was a sell out show at iconic Naarm venue, The Tote. They sold out their first vinyl order, expanded their merch line to include underwear (a logical addition), toured their album to Moruya/Sydney/Newcastle/Brisbane and made new friends up the East Coast. They now embark on a Japan tour to take their music overseas for the very first time.
ARABELLA AND THE HEIST
Powerful, fierce and electrifying Arabella and The Heist are a four piece femme-punk band. Forming in 2019 in Melbourne, Australia, the outfit has taken their cues from rock icons, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Dead Weather and The Pretenders stirred in with a fast hit of punk seduction.
LORETTA MILLER BAND
Blending worlds of alt country, indie Americana, 70’s tinged soul and Rock n’ Roll - Loretta Miller is the real deal. No stranger to adoring crowds, famous rooms, and hot stages, the indomitable front woman of beloved Melbourne outfit JAZZPARTY is stretching out and leading her own band for the first time. On the precipice of her first album as a solo artist, Loretta saw her debut single DOG roar out of the gates in March 2023 and has been garnering rave reviews across Victoria ever since.
RICHIE 1250
Richie1250 has presented his strange and luxurious radio program STONE LOVE on PBS FM since 2006 and run his SLOW GRIND FEVER and SLOW GRIND 80s dances since 2013. The SLOW GRIND FEVER series of LPs he compiles for Stag-O-Lee records in Germany is currently up to it's 12th volume. He enjoys playing 40s jazz 78s, 60s soul 45s, 70s yacht rock LP cuts, 80s rap 12"s, and Megan Thee Stallion WAV files. Sometimes all in the same evening. An audience member was once heard to say "this guy, he always zigs just when you think he's gonna zag."
See you there!!
