The Fiction + The Gas Babies (George Lane Matinee Sessions)

BUY TICKETS Two legendary names from Melbourne's original punk and garage underground return for one very special afternoon. Fresh from rehearsals for their October tour of Japan, The Fiction hit the George Lane stage with their infectious blend of razor-sharp pop, punk energy and irresistible hooks. Originally formed in 1978, The Fiction were there at the birth of Melbourne punk, sharing the scene with The Boys Next Door, La Femme and Teenage Radio Stars. Their debut single released under the name Little Murders "Things Will Be Different" backed with "Take Me I'm Yours" has become one of the classic Australian punk/pop singles of its era. After reforming in 2015, the band has enjoyed a remarkable second chapter, touring Japan twice, releasing three acclaimed albums on Off The Hip Records, and continuing to prove that great songs never go out of style. Featuring members of Little Murders, Blue Ruin and International Exiles, The Fiction also welcomes powerhouse new drummer Andrew Nunns
