GreazeFest
Even if pin-up chicks and muscle cars aren't your type of thing, you can at least guarantee you will be entertained by the sweet greaser hairstyles and the sure to be large amount of tattooed ladies and gents.
Overview
If you're a fan of rockabilly and hot rods, there's a good chance you'll already be aquainted with Rocklea's annual Greazefest. For the unacquainted, Greazefest Kustom Kulture Festival is a celebration of all things 50s-era; hot rod cars, pin-ups, vintage bikes, rockabilly musicians, and tattoos. In its 12th year, the left-of-centre festival has become a key date on grease-lovers calendars. This year there'll be California's James Intveld (Johnny Depp's singing voice in Cry Baby) and Tennessee's Jason Lee Wilson, who are very well-known in rockabilly circles here and abroad. To add pack to the punch, the highlight of the Greazefest weekend is the Hot Rod Show on Sunday, as well as the retro and vintage Fashion Show at noon, plus the Kustom Art Show. It'll be like a combination of Grease (the movie) and The Outsiders! Oh yeah!
Even if pin-up chicks and muscle cars aren't your type of thing, you can at least guarantee you will be entertained by the sweet greaser hairstyles and the sure to be large amount of tattooed ladies and gents.
