breaking the silence at state library victoria
the 2016 mmw hub
Home to 4.9 million books, historical documents, photos, art and
now the 2016 MMW Hub. Get ready — from 11–19 November we’re
breaking the silence at the State Library Victoria.
Over nine days, the iconic library,

which celebrated its 160th birthday
this year, will become the heart of
Melbourne Music Week. This year’s
line–up brings together some of the
best local and international artists
for a stellar showcase of our city’s
thriving music scene.
And while most of us would be

familiar with the outdoor forecourt
and the incredible domed La Trobe
Reading Room, Queen’s Hall, which
will act as the Hub’s main stage,
hasn’t been opened to the public in
over 10 years. The majestic, column–
lined room is about to undergo
restoration — so there won’t be an
opportunity like this again.
Outside, the forecourt plays host

to free day and night programming,
with MMW favourites Morning Ritual,
Lunch Box and Sun Sets offering
up a dose of music to break the
daily grind.
While you’re there, enjoy a knock–off

drink at the Coopers Beer Garden
or the Captain Morgan’s Rum Deck,
explore the JBL Audio Lounge, and
grab a bite via Deliveroo, who have
set up shop to bring you a revolving
selection of Melbourne’s best eats.

Friday November 4, Thornbury Theatre
The Celibate Rifles changed my life. It was 1986 and

suburban high school music tastes were dominated
by Australian pub rock: Chisel, The Angels, Oils,
augmented with a bit of LA mullet metal and some hair
sprayed tinny pop. Beatbox, a three-hour music video
cum social commentary and vox pops show on Saturday
morning on ABC television, featured a clip from this
Australian band, the Celibate Rifles. Thrashing guitars,
a pummelling bass riff and frenetic drums. The tall,
laconic guy fronting the band mused on the social and
political failings of the day in a monotonal drawl. From
that moment, I was hooked.
30 years later and the Rifles are still around.
Damien Lovelock, of the dry humour and incisive
social commentary, is weathered but never beaten.
Kent Steedman - who, incidentally, produced the early

get away with wearing tights in a rock’n’roll band, except
Kent. Dave Morris - white chesty bonds t-shirt, scraggly
long hair - locks into Steedman’s groove and never lets
go. Jim Leone is on bass, never flashy, impregnable.
Paul Larsen has a subtle flourish on drums that creeps
up on you with subliminal intensity.
