The Quarters
"The Quarters are a three piece rock and roll band from Melbourne, Australia. After only performing together a little over a year, these young teenagers have already played some of Melbourne's most notorious venues including Festival Hall and Ruby's. They have also supported some of Australia's biggest exports, amongst them; Grinspoon and Little Birdy. Band Members: Ivan Rodgic - drums Stephanie Jane - bass, backing vocals Christopher James - guitar and vocals All under the age of 18, expect an exciting and energetic performance when watching The Quarters; you won't be disappointed."
Since when is Ruby's notorious? It's in Belgrave...
Occasionally they will draw a 'big' band to play there, if I remember correctly Karnivool made an appearance and people like Tex Perkins and Sarah Blasko have performed there.
But my brother and his band used to play there almost every week. 'Los Putas' - a now disbanded 7-piece latin-funk band
Getting a gig at Festival Hall is more of a fair effort, I don't think Ruby's should be put in the same sentence.
end rant.
