Event Details

4PM TO 7PM – FREE ENTRY!

The blues are coming in hot this summer as Frankie & The Bad Cats make their long-overdue debut at The Rainbow Hotel.

Led by seasoned frontman Frank — president of the Eastern Blues Association and long-time force in Melbourne’s outer-east scene — this outfit ain’t no strangers to the stage. Formerly known as Mojo Mafia, the band has reinvented itself with a killer new lineup and a sound that’s bigger, bolder, and badder than ever.

Joining Frank are some of the finest players in the game:
Tim Burnham (Lloyd Spiegel Band) tearing it up on drums
Ryan Lim adding fire on second guitar
Ron Smith locking in the groove on bass

With a deep bag of original blues, a swag of road-worn favourites, and a brand new album in the works, these cats are hungry and ready to light it up.

If you like your blues raw, soulful, and played with heart — this one’s for you. Come on down, grab a cold one, and let the Bad Cats show you how it’s done.

Support the pub supporting the locals!
