The Melniks - Fanpage Home

Last updated August 2008

The Melniks were a wonderful 1990s indie band from Brisbane, Australia.

The Melniks were a pop culture referencing band, trading in irony and smart-slackerdom before they were trite qualities, whose garagey recorded works and shambolic live shows made them a Brisbane institution to too few." - Matthew Lobb

On this fansite you can learn about the Melniks career (and all the members' "other" bands), listen to a bunch of rare audio recordings, watch some videos, look at photos, and much more :-)
