Sex on Toast- The Return of Ricky (10 Years of Oh Loretta!)
with Bie Bambou & Gusto Gusro
Northcote Social Club (Northcote, VIC)
Friday, 5 December 2025 8:00 pm
As a band that has been going for an unusually long amount of time (and in THIS economy!) occasionally some significant milestones come around.
The year was 2015, China had just devalued the Renminbi amidst an economic slowdown, Hot Tub Time Machine 2 had just hit cinemas and the thirst for late 70’s/ early 80’s AOR funk was immense!
We released a little song called Oh Loretta! with an accompanying music video starring Australian TV legend Molly Meldrum. We never could have predicted that it would have had the impact and reach that it has had since then, and that we’d still be talking about it to this day!
Fast forward to 2025, and since the people at Queenscliff Music Festival kindly offered us a slot at their wonderful festival, we thought it was worth doing something special.
So we are reuniting what’s left here in Australia of the classic 2015 line-up of SOT, playing the kind of set that we would have played back then. And no, not just at Queenscliff, but in a one of a kind headline show at the Northcote Social Club. For those of you who have missed the golf whites, unadulterated comedic chemistry, yacht-rock beats and horn section blasts of the Ricky era this is for you.
BUT please be kind! We have sore backs, bad knees and if you could please speak louder, that’d be great. We can’t hear a word you’re saying…
THIS SHOW IS STRICTLY 18+
Northcote Social Club strives to create a safe space that everyone can enjoy.
