Pre-Ekka Wrekka

Overview

Everyone has an Ekka routine. For most of us, it involves trying to get someone you know to buy you a Bertie Beetle show bag, and then still managing to get the flu even after steering clear of the RNA Showgrounds. But this year, make a new tradition. Black Bear Lodge will help.

Enter the Pre-Ekka Wrekka, aka the Brunswick Street venue's inaugural public holiday bash. To get things started, Shady Bliss, The Dollar Bill Murrays, Bixby Canyon and Nice Biscuit will crank out some tunes, and Sailor Jerry will lend their boozy support. Yep, it already sounds like something we'll be looking forward to in years to come.
