Klinger are a rock band from Melbourne, Victoria named after the character from MAS*H. Their “Sayonara Anyway” / “Ben Lee” single reached #22 on the ARIA Alternative singles chart. They had two songs in Triple J’s Hottest 100 in 2000. They supported Green Day, Unwritten Law and Everclear and toured nationally.

Punters Club Reunion. Getting the band(s) back together! A trip down memory lane – aka 1990s Brunswick Street – we pay homage to the musos who helped shape the Melbourne music scene.

These are the artists who cut their teeth at the Punters Club, over cheap beers and a really sticky carpet. These are the artists you would have seen on any given evening (or Sunday arvo) on a stroll through Fitzroy.
