25.01.2022 Coming up at the Tavern! We'll award a free pint weekly (for when we reopen in November) for the best gig/album/bio for any of our up and coming artists. Time to get creative gig-goers of the MCT lockdown. All posters designed and conceived by Jen Huntley at Fin Graphics.

24.01.2022 Who knows when we'll be packing in together again? One thing's for sure though, it's gunna sound amazing! Thanks to @lulusmelb for this freshly delivered sonic spectrum (from the ambient Haji K to the harrowing hardcore/psych Geld) of mostly local, mostly new release radness. Miss you all, xMCT .... #buylocal #playvinyl #weekendsorted #lockdownlistening

22.01.2022 SUNDAY ARVO COMING DOWN... . Wakin' up w' a sore head and the sad news that Charley Pride has died of complications from coronavirus. F@#k you rona! Charley was a giant of country with 29 No. 1 songs including "Is Anybody Goin' to San Antone" and "Kiss An Angel Good Morning". He leaves behind his wife of over 60 years, Rozene. What a partnership!? Freakin amazing... and heartbreaking. @capt__ash will be playing plenty of Mr Pride when he deejays a country heavy set this arv...o from 5pm. .

20.01.2022 "Merri" means rock in Woiwurrung, the language of the Wurundjeri-willam. Long before the settlers and invaders shortened the name the local Indigenous people have called the creek Merri Merri meaning "very rocky". Now you know.

08.01.2022 Nice write-up here for our pub and our resident artist Jen Huntley.....not long now folks. Hang in there Melbourne!

08.01.2022 The new release from @leahseniormusic "The Passing Scene" arrived as we were packing up the booze again, which is just as well coz we've worn out her last LP "Pretty Faces". Leah's new record is beautifully packaged, beautifully produced, and flat-out beautiful, nuanced & uplifting music. It only came out a month ago and is selling out all over. Get it while you can and If the folks at @flightlessrecords don't reissue it in a hurry you can come into the Tavern in a few weeks where we'll be wearing it out as well. Thanks Leah, love your work! . . #newrelease #vinyl #tunes #lockeddown #playlist #lenticular #loveyourwork
