Covering all the greatest hits from the 1970s, 80s, 90s and 2000s, Rock Agenda gets the crowd on their feet, singing and dancing the night away.
Hailing from all over Melbourne, the band's members first got together in 2015 through a meeting website for musicians and debuted on stage in August 2016.
Their sound started as classic rock before adding some funk into the mix and now incorporating country music, giving their repertoire depth and something for everyone.
Keeping the beat going on the drums, Bruno Volpe said the band “always look forward to going to the Shamrock”.
“The younger generation, older generation, they’re just fantastic,” he said.
“They come up to us afterwards, introduce themselves and give us good feedback.
“Even the families – the little kids get into it,” he said.
After a few changes to the line-up over past years, Bruno said the six band members were a “pretty tight group”.
“We’re high-energy and we like to get the crowd involved and try to celebrate any birthdays out there,” he said.
Leading from the front are singers Leesa and Richard, there’s Dennis on lead guitar, Andrew and Michael on bass and rhythm guitar respectively and Bruno on drums.
Shamrock Hotel Echuca general manager Dave Walker said the band brings "the whole package”.
“Having two lead singers, male and female, really provides depth and they’re surrounded by great supporting musicians,” he said.
“They play with great energy and we normally get booked out for dinner on the nights they play.
“We’ve made a real commitment to live music – putting new lights in and extending the stage, and I think bands have seen that commitment and are responding to it.”
Rock Agenda’s first gig at the Shamrock in Echuca was in March 2020, just before Australia went into COVID-19 lockdown.
“A big thankyou to Dave Walker,” Bruno said.
“He does a lot for live music, especially at the Shamrock with what he’s done there with the stage, lights and smoke machines – he’s made it a place to be on a Friday and Saturday night.”
Rock Agenda will take the stage at the Shamrock Hotel Echuca, 579 High St, from 8 pm on Saturday, June 19.
