September 18 Nick Caddaye presents 1996+!

Mr. McClelland’s Finishing School is Melbourne’s longest-running indie pop night, and this September they return to The Retreat with a night of 90s indie good-times.

At its heart, Mr. McClelland’s Finishing School has always been an indie club. Sure, we play pop, rock, soul, funk and whatever else takes our fancy… But our heart lies with indie music, and more specifically, British indie music.

On September 18, we’re celebrating it all; not just the descendants of this musical golden period, but the antecedents too. The stuff that came before and after that came to define an era of British indie rock and pop.

We’re gonna play stuff like Kula Shaker, Lush, The Manic Street Preachers, Suede, Ash, Catatonia, The Lightning Seeds, Ocean Colour Scene, Sleeper, Super Furry Animals… And that’s just some of the bands that released albums in ‘96!

Come join us for a dance and a celebration of the era.
