Original framed Rock Fest at The Edgy poster from the iconic Mentone Hotel in Mentone, Melbourne — a beloved Bayside live music venue fondly known as “The Edgy.” This bold black-and-yellow promotional piece advertises Australian rock acts Skybombers, The Deep End, and Hey Fever (“The World’s 2nd Most Dangerous Group”), complete with vintage aviation-style artwork and ticket details (Pre-sale $10, Door $15).
This poster captures an authentic snapshot of Melbourne’s 2000s pub-rock scene, featuring three notable local bands:
-
🎸 Skybombers – Melbourne rock band formed by Scotch College students, best known for their hit It Goes Off from the 2008 album Take Me to Town.
-
⚡ The Deep End – A high-energy Melbourne rock’n’roll band that performed alongside Airbourne, Rose Tattoo, The Angels, Hoodoo Gurus, and Screaming Jets, gaining national exposure through radio and festivals.
-
🎤 Hey Fever – Melbourne-based band active on Triple J Unearthed, releasing EPs No Matter How Many of Them and Codes, with their farewell show in 2012 marking the end of their local legacy.
Professionally framed behind glass by Successories Australia, this rare poster is now part of Mentone’s local music history, as the Mentone Hotel closed in 2014 and no longer operates as a live venue.
