25: Alt. Down Under - Playlunch

About this episode

In this landmark 25th episode, the hosts celebrate with Melbourne's Playlunch, discussing their musical evolution and humorous takes on life's challenges.

25 EPISODES! A huge landmark for Alt Down Under - thank you to everyone who’s listened along the way. To celebrate, we’re joined by Melbourne’s very own Playlunch . Ozzy, Michael and Liam chat about their early days in folk trios, how they evolved into a 7-piece “bogan funk” outfit, and why their mission is to poke fun at life’s shittier parts - from real estate agents to the cost of living… and even drugs. Luke also discovers the mystery of Harold the giraffe, and we find out how AFL Hall-of-Famer Barry Hall ended up starring in their video for “Keith”. And of course, there’s the Dream Gig Venue - this time it’s a sausage sizzle, and everyone’s invited. Quarter of a century of episodes, and this one’s a banger!
