Past rubs shoulders with the present in a post-punk line-up curated by DIY label stalwarts Chapter Music. The Old Melbourne Gaol plays a fitting, brooding host to this one-off concert featuring three of Melbourne's most iconic acts.

Reformed 70s synth-punk legends Primitive Calculators will put on a typically savage and hilarious performance, anticipating the new album currently underway, due for an early 2012 release.

The drily intoned vocals and flailing polyrhythms of Essendon Airport make a welcome live return after the reissue of their 1981 post-funk classic Palimpsest.

The minimal, hypnotic sensuality of current favourites Fabulous Diamonds will round out the bill in this darkly eccentric show.
