This is a drug, alcohol, vape and smoke free event run by City of Port Phillip ‘Unsigned’ FReeZA committee. FReeZA is a Victorian Government initiative supporting young Victorians to get involved in their community by planning and running drug, alcohol and smoke-free events for other young people.

This Melbourne based Rockabilly band packs every show with energy, great music and high octane entertainment.

20 + years of Atomic gigging has been action packed with regular appearances all round Australia and New Zealand plus support for international acts such as Reverend Horton Heat & Lee Rocker from the Stray Cats.

Although the band has recorded, live performing is their thing from grungy little pubs to Festivals and Hot Rod events with 1000’s of attendees.

The band was honoured with the Best Rockabilly Band at the Gold Coast Wintersun Festival and have the scars, tattoos and trophy to prove it.

Although Front man Cliff Jolly, who formed the band never chose Rockabilly, rockabilly chose the band. From the first gig, they fell into it. People from the Rockabilly and Hot Rod scenes liked what they did so booked them and have kept doing so.

Events large and small need live music that rocks. Adding energy, excitement and bringing people together to dance, jump around, watch, listen and be entertained. Being able to supply that service, be accommodating and great to work with, is the Atomic Hi-Tones magic mix.

From the ATOMIC HI-TONES to you. We promise a great night.
