Peter Foley, frustrated at the lack of quality music venues south of the river, started staging gigs at his Oakleigh home 4 years ago.
At the end of 2009 the effort involved in building a gig from the ground every week at the bowling club has become too difficult so Peter and his group at Caravan Music decided if the gig was to continue, it must relocate to a venue where the PA equipment, staging etc could be installed and remain set up. The Oakleigh/Carnegie RSL down the road had recently removed its poker machines and was looking to develop a social music culture. It has a lovely old hall that opens out on to a terrific beer garden.
This is now the home of THE CARAVAN MUSIC CLUB.
We will have the ability to present many more gigs at The CARAVAN and develop a genuine music club atmosphere.

Long held as the last true masters of country punk laden rockabilly, The Reverend Horton Heat have built a reputation as one of the most inspiring live bands of their generation, a fact not lost on Australian music lovers who’ve witnessed The Reverend tear up venues across the country making the man and his band a must see on each and every visit. |

Perch Creek Family Jug Band |
|
gig |
|
The Perch Creek Family Jugband have anthropologists baffled. Why did they turn out the way they are? Was it because they all drank and bathed in the muddy waters of Perch Creek from birth? Was it because they were forced to sing for each meal, or simply because their old man was nothing short of a lunatic? Either way, circumstances conspired to create a band of siblings with an incredibly unique and diverse sound that seems to find it’s way through the cracks between a vast array of genres. Like the creek itself, the Perch Creek Family Jugband are at times raging and relentless and at others placid and haunting. |

Todd Rundgren |
|
gig |

A Wizard, A True Star. The title of Todd Rundgren’s 1973 solo album aptly sums up the contributions of this multi-faceted artist to state-of-the-art music. As a songwriter, video pioneer, producer, recording artist, computer software developer, conceptualist, and, most recently, interactive artist, Rundgren has made a lasting impact on both the form and content of popular music. This July Todd and his amazing band which includes keyboard master John Ferenzik (Jefferson Starship, Todd Rundgren), guitarist and former Guitar Player Magazine editor Jesse Gress, drummer Prarie Prince (The New Cars, The Tubes, Jefferson Starship) and on bass Kasim Sultan (Blue Oyster Cult, The New Cars, Utopia), will bring to life 40 years of amazing music to Australian audiences. |

The Pills features on guitar John Phillips, marking the first time Bridie and Phillips will perform live together since their ‘Not Drowning Waving’ days; as well as Dave Foley on drums and other guests to be announced.
An exquisite collection of songs from a fascinating musical mind, ‘Wake’ is a total immersion in sound as an exploration of space with a deliciously driving edge.
