   About The Substitutes
.. ..

Are we the best ‘60s band in the world? Who’s better? Who’s best?

.. .. The Substitutes are Melbourne’s most authentic and most exciting '60s band being made up of veteran 60's & 70's musicians who play the best (and the lost gems) of the Kinks, Animals, Small Faces, The Who, Zombies, Easybeats, Yardbirds, Pretty Things, Twilights, MPD Ltd, Loved Ones, Beatles, Stones, et al. All members of The Substitutes have extensive and credible rock careers as documented in the Who's Who of Australian Rock. With the four octave range vocals and fluid guitar work of Dennis Millar (ex seminal 70's band Buster Brown and then Nick Charles), Pete Robinson on bass (ex The Strangers and Blacksmith Hopkins) supported by Peter Reed on drums (ex New Dream, Gary Young & Phil Manning bands) and the punk energy of Peter Summers on guitar and keyboard (ex Riverina Playboys and Strange Idols), The Substitutes deliver the goods exactly like the record but with real spirit. We are Melbourne's best '60s band, bar none! .. .. Photobucket

..

.. "Pictures of Lily", "Happy Jack" and "My Generation" all originally by The Who. For heaps more videos click the 'View My Videos' link on the upper left hand side of the screen. .. ..

Also check out youtube using 'substitutes melbourne' as the search criteria and see the 60+ other video clips of us live. Are we the best in the world?

Don't miss The Rebelles headlining this special quadruple bill of female-fronted garage, swoons and film.




Screening in the front bar is the 90 minute documentary ROCKnTOKYO, a unique look at Tokyo's indie rock scene by French filmmaker, Pamela Valentes, which profiles Guitar Wolf, the 5678s, and many more.




Kicking off the musical proceedings, all girl sweet doo pop punk band DollSquad, who are on the eve of releasing their second album.




Next up, catch Japan’s Ikochi delivering their tight, high energy, classic three piece rockabilly punk sound.




The first DVD screening is from 7pm, bands from 9pm. $10 entry.
