The Breadmakers

Rhythm’n’Blues ravers THE BREADMAKERS are a Melbourne institution and have an international fan-base that views them as Australian icons. Formed back in 1989, they became mainstays on the garage-rock underground, and unlikely heroes on the Fitzroy/Collingwood indie scene in the ‘90s. (Regulars at The Evelyn, Punters Club and The Tote, they’d often cross the river for gigs at The Great Britain, The Corner and The Espy, even The Continental.) They’ve released six previous albums and undertaken countless overseas trips, the most recent to Spain in early 2019.

They’ve played countless Garage festivals and Weekenders across Europe, and Japan, sharing bills with the likes of The Monks, Thee Headcoats, The Mummies, Guitar Wolf and Teengenerate.  Here at home, they’ve shared stages with the likes of The Pretty Things, The Stems, Southern Culture on the Skids, The Aints and every ‘60s-inspired group who has passed through. They’ve done The Big Day Out, Meredith Music Festival, and, appropriately enough, the Zoo! They’ve built a reputation based on consistency and reliability; always loose, but always fun.
