The Badloves 1992 debut album “Get On Board” peaked at #5 on the ARIA charts achieving double platinum status and hovered in the charts for a gravity defying 69 weeks. Throughout the 90’s they enjoyed hits with “Green Limousine”, “Lost”, “Caroline”, “Slave”, “Barefoot Bride” “Memphis” and the Top 5 hit “The Weight” with Jimmy Barnes. That is the history.

Frontman Michael Spiby is keeping The Badloves legacy alive and relevant with their recent new single ‘Soulbrothertruckinsong’ that immediately takes you back to their trademark sound from 1993 featuring Hammond organ and Spiby’s rich soulful vocals.

Their follow up single “Tribal” is scheduled for release on 30 July 2020 and will be performed for the first time live at Memo Music Hall on Mon 3 Aug.

The lineup will feature:

Michael Spiby – Vocals / Guitar James Ryan – Guitar / Lapsteel / BVs Tim Neal – Hammond Kit Riley – Bass / Double Bass / BVs Jeff Consi – Drums / BVs With special guest Susie Ahern – BVs Plus MC Jane Gazzo (Triple M)

Expect to hear an album from the band to follow in early next year.

The Badloves in 2020 has exactly the same authenticity Michael Spiby established in the ‘90s.

Once again, welcome aboard.

The Badloves frontman MICHAEL SPIBY joins forces with James Ryan (guitar / lapsteel) to present an intimate Sunday arvo acoustic session featuring a selection of soul / blues songs that have inspired them over the years and they may even sneak in a few Badloves tunes on the side for you ;-)

They’re set to play the arcobar stage on Sunday 5 July, kicking off at 2.30pm! This is a show not to be missed, and is sure to sell out very quickly.

Arcobar is proud to support the return of live music to their restaurant. Please help them keep music alive by supporting the Cover Charge set by musicians, with 100% of the proceeds of the cover charge for each event going directly to the artist. This will hopefully enable our artists to start earning some money again, and it enables the artists to control the amount being charged at the door, given COVID-19 restricted patronage numbers for all venues.

The Cover Charge for this event is $35 per person.

The Arcobar is respectfully asking for a minimum spend (including drinks) of $20 per person for lunch / afternoon tea whilst COVID-19 restricted patronage numbers apply.
