SUMMARY:Playlunch
DESCRIPTION:Playlunch is an Australian seven-piece from Melbourne\, formed in 2022 during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown. Born from the imagination of its singer and guitarist Liam Bell\, the project began in a studio set up in a shared house\, before bringing together several musicians from the local scene\, some of whom had previously played together in the folk band Parkville.  \nThe collective lays claim to a style it humorously describes as “bogan funk”: an explosive blend of funk\, groove and offbeat energy\, deeply rooted in Australian pop culture. Their lyrics—funny\, sharp and nostalgic—celebrate the small details of everyday life with a healthy dose of self-mockery\, packed with references to icons of Australian life.  \nOn stage\, Playlunch delivers infectious energy thanks to a rich line-up combining guitars\, bass\, drums\, keys\, trumpet and saxophone. Between driving rhythms\, blazing horns and a party spirit\, the band puts on shows that are as danceable as they are irresistibly joyful.  \nIn 2024\, Playlunch took a new step by signing with the ABC Music label\, confirming its rise among the most original and promising acts on Australia’s new music scene.

SUMMARY:It It Anita • Lauvemetender
