This one’s a step up, Bunbury.
Blues Central returns to Froth Craft Brewery on Sunday 12 July, and we’ve got a lineup that’s bringing some serious pedigree to our stage.

Headlining are Art of Dysfunction — a Perth blues-rock outfit who’ve cut their teeth alongside the likes of Electric Mary and The Radiators, taken their sound on a European tour supporting blues icon Michael Vdelli, and have since become his rhythm section. These guys play festivals like Ravenswood Blues & Roots and Bridgetown Blues — and now they’re playing for us. Expect tight grooves, soaring guitar, and a live show that doesn’t let up.

Joining them are Something Else, a band with serious history. Formed in Kalgoorlie back in 1987, they built their name touring the Goldfields and beyond — from minesites to capital cities, all over WA and the NT. The lineup has racked up decades on the Australian circuit, including stints in bands like The Prefects, Orphans and the Teddy Bears, plus a deep-rooted love of the blues that runs through everything they play. This is a band that’s been doing it properly for almost forty years.

Free entry. Great food. Cold beers. This is the kind of afternoon you tell people about afterwards.

Froth Craft Brewery Bunbury, 12 Victoria St

Sunday 12 July | 1:00pm – 4:00pm | FREE ADMISSION

Please note: Change of venue. The dinner will now be at the Gull and Anchor Cafe.

Twenty years ago, a group of blues lovers walked into a bar on Elliot Street and started something special. That bar is now the Indi Bar at the Burlington Hotel — and on Saturday 1 August 2026, for one night only, we’re going back.

This is our 20th Anniversary Dinner, and we want everyone there. Current members, past members, partners, bandmates, fans, supporters, people who’ve shared a stage with us, people who’ve just shared a beer with us. If the South West Blues Club has ever meant something to you, this night is for you.

It’s a formal dinner — but let’s be honest, we’re musicians. Formal around here means whatever you want it to mean. Black tie? Absolutely. Best jeans and Converse? You’re in. Leather jacket as your best jacket? We’d expect nothing less. Channel your inner Jake and Elwood. Rock the Murph and the Magic Tones look. Come as you are — just come dressed like the occasion matters, because it does.

Here’s what the night looks like:
3-course formal dinner

This is a night to put the instruments down, sit across from the people who’ve made this club what it is, and just enjoy each other’s company. Twenty years is worth celebrating properly. We hope to see you there.

The blues doesn’t stop — it just gets louder.

Our ears are still ringing from Blues Central this afternoon, and we’re already looking ahead to next Sunday because the June Jam Session is coming up fast and we want YOU in the room.

Whether you’ve been playing for decades or you’ve been quietly thinking about stepping up to a microphone for the first time, this is your afternoon. Bring your instrument, bring a mate, or just come and relax — a good time is guaranteed for all.

Club members, your help with sound setup and pack-down is always appreciated. Backline and amps are provided — just bring your pedals.

The state’s biggest regular blues jam. See you next Sunday.

This Sunday at Froth – it’s Blues Central time!
Whether you’re a club member or just love great live music, come down to Froth Craft Brewery on Victoria St for a free afternoon of pure blues goodness.

Dave Tiger and the Cubs open the show – Dave’s a Liverpool lad who grew up on British Blues royalty (Clapton, Beck, Mayall – the lot), and he’s brought a tight band with him: Dana on drums, the brilliant Leigh Kelly on bass, and swagger of Gary Palfrey’s sax. Expect licks that go all the way back to the golden era.

Following them, Micho Lupo close out the afternoon with something you won’t forget. Vocalist Marisa and guitarist Mark De Vattimo have a musical chemistry that just works, and with Sandy, Cody, Joel and the latest addition to the lineup, Jack behind them, this six-piece swings from smoky cool ballads to high-voltage riffs without missing a beat. Pure feel-it-in-your-bones blues rock.

Free. Froth. Blues. This Sunday. What more do you need?
