Bogan Party-Funk (Melbourne, VIC)

Forged in a share house home-studio somewhere in Melbourne’s eastern suburbs over two years of lockdown, Playlunch is the brainchild and passion project of Liam Bell. Creating a cocktail of late 90s and early 2000s Aussie nostalgia, and taking inspiration from retro dance music icons, Playlunch is pioneering a new flavour of bangers altogether: ‘Bogan Funk’.
​
Since their debut in April 2022, Playlunch have exploded at a rapid rate across both the Melbourne music scene and now also Nationally (and internationally!) in 2024. Releasing their debut album in November 2023 titled "Who's Ready For A Good Time?", Playlunch have soared to new heights with viral Tik Tok videos, High Rotation Triple J play & massive Sell Out shows across the country (including a 550 person attended launch show at Fitzroy's iconic, The Night Cat). Putting a huge focus on touring and bringing their comedic, yet serious live show to the people, the band have become a staple across the Australian Festival circuit with slots at NYE on the Hill (VIC), St Kilda Festival (VIC), Offbeat Music Festival (QLD), Good Gumnuts Festival (TAS) & many more under their belts.
In a world where the current economy is hurting the climate of the Australian Music Industry, Playlunch are paving a way forward, unwavered, due to their rabid & extremely supportive fanbase. ​Showcasing at BIGSOUND 2024, the band has generated a massive following all over the country and are now one of the hottest emerging acts on the scene as they charge ahead to releasing their sophomore album in 2025.
Playlunch are guaranteed to be the ULTIMATE Festival Act and the iconic hit of nostalgia audiences have been waiting for.
