Rock Academy 44 Live - The Next Generation of Rock

Come and join the Tribe at the legendary Howler Brunswick on Saturday, July 11.

Rock Academy, featuring over 70 young musicians from all over Victoria and interstate, is a celebration of Rock, of Melbourne, and the infectious energy of youth.

We’re excited to be taking over the stage at Howler, and after a week of intense preparation, Melbourne’s brightest young musicians are ready to blow you away.

Rock Academy is a phenomenal school holiday initiative for teenage musicians. Mentored by professional touring musicians, the teenagers form bands, write songs, and put on a show that needs to be seen to be believed.

After a week of song-writing and rehearsal at Rock Academy’s famous holiday workshops, these talented teens will hit the stage to present a range of original songs and high-energy covers. Having been mentored and guided by some of the country’s finest musicians including Joel Ma (Joelistics), Claire Rayner (Rromarin), and Matilda Pearl, alongside the incredible Phil Ceberano, these young talents are here to show you exactly what they can do!

Head in early, grab a feed and a drink in the beer garden, and support Howler they are fantastic supporters of Rock Academy and the Melbourne live music scene.

Supported by DW Drums, Red Cymbals, Sky Music and RAWKUS Live.

Doors Open 1.30pm, show starts 2pm.

Don't miss two USA alt-country, folk-rock icons as they tour their new acclaimed records through the Australian winter east coast.

Winter has never sounded better.  Join Cut Worms (USA) and John Andrews (USA) at Howler this July for a two-in-one cosy night not to be missed!  We’ve loved Cut Worms’ country-esque folk-rock hits for a long time, and his new album Transmitter is a truly wonderful evolution for Max Clarke. The brilliant John Andrews is supporting as special guest, whose Brooklyn-based cobblestoned electric piano epics have kept the lights on this year.  Join us to sit in on their humour and musings.  It’ll be the pair’s first tour in Australia, and what a way to debut. Tickets are limited and on sale now.
