Melbourne, this one’s for the riff-lovers. On Sunday 12 October at 2:00 pm, we’re hosting Willie J’s 6V6s live in-store at Colemans Music (South Melbourne 266 Coventry St). Expect high-voltage, guitar-forward rock in an intimate setting—close enough to feel the kick drum in your chest and watch the fretwork up close.
Why you’ll want to be here
1) The band: new-school energy, old-school bite.
Willie J’s 6V6s are a Melbourne hard-rock outfit formed in 2023, built around a standout young singer-guitarist and a rhythm section that hits like a truck. Their sound blends classic, 70s-leaning guitar hooks with modern punch—think big riffs, pounding grooves and soaring vocals. Mitchell Creek Rock N Blues Fest+1
2) Songs that already rip.
If you’ve spun their singles—“Love On The Loose” and “That’s All She Wrote”—you know these tunes are made for a sweat-and-valves room like ours. Bring your mates; leave with the chorus stuck in your head. Willie J's 6v6s+1
3) See the gear, feel the tone.
A live set inside a guitar store is the best kind of sound check. Hear the tones you chase, then walk a few metres and try the guitars and amps that inspire them—our staff will be on hand if you want to plug in after the show. (We’ve been Melbourne’s musician hangout for decades for exactly this reason.)
4) It’s up close, and it’s in the city/South Melbourne.
No nosebleed seats here—just you, the band, and the backline. We’re right in the heart of town, easy to reach by tram or train, and surrounded by post-gig food and coffee.
