YAH YAH's

Yah Yah's hosts bands and DJs every Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday night. We spin rock, soul, garage, surf, exotica, 60s, 70s and more.

Thursday 4th February	(EARLY) ROCK AEROBICS ROCK AEROBICS is a dance fitness class for lovers of all things rock that sets rock-inspired dance moves to a soundtrack ranging from Blondie and Bowie to AC/DC and Alice Cooper. At ROCK AEROBICS you’ll pogo, skank, shimmy and strut to a monthly rotation of rock anthems. All you need to bring is a pair of sneakers, a towel, $10 and your best rock face (and some spare change for a beer!). Class starts at 7pm. For more info see www.rockaerobics.com.au 7.00pm / (One hour class) (LATER) THE LOOP THE DARTS THE BEAT BROTHERS SHOESHINE When a band is confronted with the opportunity to play at Yah Yah's, it has only one option; to go limp for a while and then organise the most gigantic performance it has played to date. The Loop, a fresh faced trio who switch between a grounded 60's blues sound and the driven rock stylings of today, play their first show at Yah Yah's, and of the year, on the 4th of February supported by rock 'n' cruiser deviants, The Darts, those blues hounds, The Beat Brothers and the one man wonder himself, Shoeshine. These performers are set to give waves of high energetic and danceable sounds, making this Thursday a night all lovers of rock’n’roll will not want to miss. All in all, the night will ricochet with the audible bliss that is the guitar riff, the bass line and the drumbeat, until all people within listening range cannot help themselves but dance and jive. Doors 5pm, door charge from 8.30pm then from 12.00pm / FREE ENTRY YAH YAH'S STAFF SELECTIONS Open late!
Friday 5th February	KRETCH SCHEMATICS EYE FOR COLOUR Having been beavering away in a studio in Brunswick, it's been a while between outings for Schematics, but they venture back out on Friday the 5th of Feburary, hooking up with Kretch for what will be a rocking night at Yah Yahs! Joining these will be the relatively new Eye for Colour, who round out the bill for an outstanding but diverse night of sounds...see y’all there, guns a-blazing! FREE ENTRY Doors 5.00pm, door charge from 8.30pm then from 11.30pm / FREE ENTRY TUNES BY MELVIS Open ‘til 5am!
Saturday 6th February	THE NEVADA STRANGE (SYD) (EP LAUNCH) REPAIRS WHORES CHROME DOME I don’t know about you but my idea of a good Saturday night generally involves a bit of screaming, maybe some rolling around and a bit of gyrating. Well I can’t guarantee that you’ll get to do the same this Saturday night at Yah Yah’s, but if you come down to see Sydney’s Nevada Strange launch their new EP, chances are you might see a bit of that business going down on the stage. They’ll be joined by some more than worthy local favourites, namely Repairs, Whores and Chrome Dome. Don’t be a knob and stay home watching cricket or reading a book, the shit is gonna be at Yah Yah’s. Don’t miss it. Doors 5pm, door charge from 8.30pm then from 11:30pm / FREE ENTRY TUNES BY DAVE GRAY (ROCKET SCIENCE) Open ‘til 5am!
Sunday 7th February	YAH YAH’S CRATE DIGGER RECORD FAIR featuring THE BREADMAKERS CALLING ALL RECORD JUNKIES!!!! You better start saving your pennies kids because Yah Yah’s is holding the inaugural CRATE DIGGER RECORD FAIR on Sunday 7 February. With stallholders ranging from some of Melbourne’s most dedicated collectors to favourite record stores around town, you’ll be pulling bargains and rarities out of crates left, right and centre. And since Yah Yah’s is a watering hole, you’ll not have to worry about going thirsty. What better way to rummage through crates of wax than to have a beer by your side at all times!!! Doors will open at 2pm, so get down early to find the hot stuff and stick around late to enjoy the late afternoon musical entertainment of Melbourne’s greatest jukebox party machine, THE BREADMAKERS. There’s free entry so you can save your last $5 to pick up that killer 45 that’s eluded you all these years. FREE ENTRY doors 2.00pm, band starts 6.00pm tunes all day by JOHN HARLEY Open late!
