Last night at the Monash hotel was the second leg of the Melbourne Rockabilly Meltdown weekend after the opening night at Lucky 13 Garage with 4 bands playing. From all reports, it was a fantastic night of rockin' and rollin' with local Victorian based "Rabs & Billies" almost swamped by a large contingent of rockabilly invaders from Queensland and some from Perth.

They were all there again partying at the Monash hotel last night with the Atomic Hi Tones firing up the mood with their own distinctive style of rockabilly much loved by many in Melbourne and also when performing inter-states. This was followed by the recently reformed " the Whiteliners" from NSW (supported by Doghouse Dave on double base) that really got the crowd excited and baying for more with their brand of Southern rockabilly mixed with Western Swing & Hillbilly.

Perth band, the Continentals, finished the night with the last set and kept the party mood going to the end. These guys with their debut performance in Melbourne didn't disappoint the rockabilly faithfuls with a polished performance & now we know why they love this band playing regularly at the Mustang Bar over in Perth.

And today, the big one at the Ferntree Gully hotel with hot rods & Kustoms display, tatts comp, merchandise stores of all varieties, 9 bands performing and lots of dancin' all day .......see you there!
