ROMANIE
romanie live in the ballroom
Multi-award-winning Naarm/Melbourne-via-Belgium indie musician Romanie will launch her sophomore LP It’s Not That Funny at Railway Hotel this May.
It’s Not That Funny is Romanie’s most expansive and emotionally direct work to date. Moving between chaos and calm, anguish and optimism, the record explores trauma, healing and growth with raw lyricism and a growing grit in her sound. Featuring collaborations with Hamish Mitchell (Armlock), Tom Stell (Golden Features) and Adam Hyde (Peking Duk/Keli Holiday), the album builds on the candid storytelling that defined her debut while pushing further into heavier, bass-driven territory.
The night marks a full-circle moment: the official video for focus track ‘Falling’ was filmed at the Railway Hotel during Romanie’s birthday celebration, where friends showed up in wedding dresses in a tribute to community and connection. That same spirit of vulnerability, joy and togetherness sits at the heart of the album and will shape this special launch. Feel free to dust off your wedding dresses again and come get married to your friends!
Special opening act are Romanie’s dear friends Jeane, thoughtfully chosen for the occasion. The day before the show, Romanie and Jeane will be writing a brand new song together and sharing it on stage at the launch in whatever form it’s taken; raw, unfinished, or something entirely unexpected. It’s a one-off collaboration, so come early and be part of it.
Joined by her band, Romanie will perform It’s Not That Funny live in full, bringing its intimate and powerful moments to the stage in the very room where part of its story was captured.

We Did 500 Episodes of What a Great Punk and All We Got Was This Lousy Tax Debt Live Podcast
Don’t miss These New South Whales x What A Great Punk (Live Podcast Album Party)
Well, as famous rocker Julian Casablancas once said, “IS THIS IT?” In this case, I must confess… it is. It is it: It’s the WHAT A GREAT PUNK—500th episode—Season 1 Finale celebration tour. That’s right, gang. For now, it’s goodbye to our beloved podcast. It’s been a wild and wonderful ride, but only two things are true in life: All good things must come to an end, and you gotta pay your taxes. I hear you all gasp loudly, “No! Surely not! Do my eyes deceive me?”. But the truth is, it’s true. I would, however, encourage you to think of this more as a wake than as a funeral – a “see you again soon, maybe”, not a “see you in hell, forever”, type thing. What I’m trying to say is: “There’s a chance, slim as it may be, that it’s a ‘John Farnham’, and not a ‘Wacko Jacko’ type situation, if that makes sense?”
You are invited to join us as an esteemed audience member for the Melbourne show. There’ll be cool segments, even cooler guests, laughter, tears, beers, pistachio nut ice creams, and there may, just may, be a witches cackle…
The new album ‘Godspeed’ will also be out (Nov 28), so we’ll be selling and signing copies of the vinyl :)
We also can’t guarantee we won’t talk to you live on pod, so come with lots of good stories and your best dancing baby.
Anyway, I could go on all night, but, I better go. I’ve gotta get Mark Sinatra on the blower…
Plus, we’ll be pouring $10 Young Henrys Pints all night.
3pm door time, 4pm start time
Jacky Winter
JACKY WINTER LIVE IN THE BALLROOM
‘Mango’ is the latest LP from Melbourne breakbeat producer and songwriter Phil Gionfriddo aka Jacky Winter.

Here he produced and/or engineered records for acts including Civic, Harvey Sutherland, GL, Whipper and label Music In Exile. All the while honing his craft to make a sideways sample heavy album of his own, ‘Mango’ is raw and funky with a vinyl release on Brooklyn NY imprint Altar Boy. The launch party at the Railway Hotel Ballroom will be Jacky Winter’s first Melbourne full-band live show for 5 years having thrown sold out parties in the Surf Coast town - Jan Juc in 2023-24.
