Melbournes Private Function have spent the last seven years carving a reputation as one of the countrys most explosive, unpredictable and essential outfits, whose on and off-stage reputation and unhinged marketing tactics precedes them at every turn. Fuelled by a wicked concoction of bratty quips, nostalgia-fuelled gags and an antibauthoritarian charm distilled with the majesty of rock and the pageantry of roll, Private Functions feverish following should come as no surprise to even a casual observer, with their devotees constantly riding the PF tsunami alongside them and expediting their cult-fuelled rise to the top. It's from way up here that the PF freak flag unequivocally stakes its claim.
