Helluva Ride

🔥YET ANOTHER HELL OF A RIDE 🔥
Just a coupla weeks ago, hosted another edition of Helluva Ride, and what an unreal send off to daylight savings it was! Glad we could fit in one more big, sunny day of music and mates before settling into the colder months in Melbourne! Big energy output from the bands, DJs, vendors, and crowd at this edition of Helluva Ride.

Absolutely stoked with how the day panned out, and a huge shoutout to the crew and anybody for all the help throughout the event - especially big shoutouts to on sound, for the photos, the amazing DJs and of course all the bands involved.

Whether it’s straight rock n’ roll or eclectic punk adjacent bands, seeing people getting around events like this is always a big reminder how great the music communities around Melbourne and Australia are.

Keep supporting live music wherever you find it, and keep your eyes out for the next Ride 🏍💨

3:00PM MARKET STALLS
Can’t complain about a sunny 20 degree Saturday afternoon! And to kick off the day, come and roam around some of the market stalls we have on offer, listen to some DJs in the sun, and get yourself some food! Here are the vendors:


Ginger Taylor is a Naarm - based illustrator, muralist, and unapologetic Dolly Parton worshipper with the energy of a raccoon who just found a bag of chips.
Her art is what happens when ADHD meets cartoons, pop culture, and an unhealthy obsession with dogs in tiny outfits.

- Fitzroy’s Freshest. 
Friendly, inclusive tattooshop amongst the dive bars on Johnston Street. No pretense and no BS. Expert Tattooing, plus: Piercings, Toothgems and Freckles. Walk-ins always. $200 get-what-you-get Gumball- gamble chaos. We also tattoo at gigs, parties, wherever it gets loud. See you at Roxxi’s. 

Jimmy’s Vintage
James has a stall at Lost and Found market in Fitzroy.
He’s been at it for over 10 years and mainly does men’s wear, workwear and street wear 1950s - Y2K.

Neve and Eleanor
The two cousins have an eclectic, intentionally curated collection of pieces with character and attitude. Vintage ~ Y2K ~ Alternative Contemporary.
Ethically sourced to support more sustainable, conscious fashion choices. This stall is pre-loved, not just second-hand.


Playte are a gastro-architect duo who use local food as a tool for collective healing. Their work is rooted in community creating site specific experiences that explore the intersection between art, architecture, and the politics of food

Next Saturday is the date for one last day party before Daylight Savings ends and the clocks roll back! Hot Tubs Time Machine unfortunately cannot make it to this edition of Helluva Ride, but luckily, the instrument swapping alternative post-punk powerhouse The Salmon Sisters have jumped on board to keep things rolling 🙌


For the final Saturday of Daylight Savings before we settle into the shorter and colder Melbourne months, Helluva Ride is shaping up nicely! Don’t forget that this is a day party - get you and your crew over to the venue at 3:00pm to hang out in the courtyard and check out some of the market stalls, get some food, or get yourselves a new flash tattoo before bands kick off at 5:00. The weather is looking unreal, so it’s looking like a great send off for the warmer months of the year.

Get your tickets nice and early so you don’t miss out - $35 presale for one last day of bands, DJs and good times with mates before it gets too chilly!

Joining the DJ lineup are Bitumen, who perform an eclectic take on post-punk that marries Trent Reznor with Kylie Minogue; Robocop meets Basic Instinct. Taking to the decks this time, the groups range of influence, from pop, house, goth, breakbeat, metal and industrial, is united through vocalist Kate - a direct and powerful through-line for the groups defiant, alluring, dynamic assault.
