As most people know, Honkytonks is nearing its end. Feeling like some sort of mini-apocalypse, tributes are being made to honour the most iconic bar in Melbourne. Savehonkytonks.com fights an unwinnable battle, people continue to drink like there’s no tomorrow and resident DJs Mike Callander and Aram Chapers have released a compilation entitled The Last Dance.
More consistent than a taxi on Flinders Lane, The Last Dance is an electronic ode to the music that has made Honkytonks the sin bin of choice year after year. It also doesn’t have a bouncer out the front telling you that you can’t get in.
To celebrate the release of The Last Dance, Honkytonks are offering two lucky people that chance to win tickets to their New Year’s Eve bash valued at $100 each. To be in the running email win@threethousand.com.au with the subject line ‘A Disco Stole My Baby’.
