Come and celebrate 45 Years of Sunglasses After Dark(link is external) at The Tote!Phil MacDougall, also known as the 'Prince of Darkness', has been on air since September 1980, back when PBS was still broadcasting out of St Kilda and the punk scene was still sharpening its edges.
His iconic long-running Thursday evening program Sunglasses After Dark has become essential listening for fans of punk, hardcore, garage, rockabilly, industrial and all things independent and underground.
Now, 45 years after first taking to the mic, PBS’ longest serving presenter Phil MacDougall is marking the milestone with a big celebration on Sunday October 26 at The Tote in Collingwood.
The party starts at 3pm with bands in the main room and front bar.
The line-up, in alphabetical order, includes:
Alien Nosejob, The Breadmakers, Digger & the Pussycats, Garry Sacred & Cong Josie, The Hybernators, Mach Pelican, The Pink Tiles, Plastic Section, Spitting Chips and The Wraylettes.
Also on the decks will be various PBS DJs spinning records between bands, and a bonus old-school Tote BBQ in the beer garden included for ticketed attendees.
Presale: $30+BF for PBS Members, $35+BF for Future Members
If not sold out, tickets will be available on the day at the door: $35 for PBS Members, $40 for Future Members. With a line-up this good to celebrate one of the most loved figures in music community, this event will sell fast. Don't miss out!
Come raise a glass (and maybe smash one) for Phil and 45 years of noise, rebellion and community radio that doesn’t give a damn about the mainstream.
