JAZZ AND JAFFLES CELEBRATES 1 YEAR AT THE TOFF IN TOWN

Jazz and Jaffles returns to The Toff on Jan 16th to celebrate our one year anniversary!

- 23rd of Jan - Evening News + SL Tears

Evening News is the new moniker of the instrumental dance/ electronica group formerly known as Beatnik Collective. 

As band members have changed so has the music and the name. Dan Rock (Beatnik Collective, Gymnastics in the Seventies, Cantrips) & Winton Findlay (Godoggo, Birdsnake) are now joined by Christy Wositzky-Jones (Skinny Wizard, Empress) and Miles Henry (Honey, Claps). In the short time since the band has formed they have performed together at The National Gallery of Victoria, Wonder Mountain Festival, A sold out EP launch in Melbourne, curated a live Aphex twin tribute show and most recently a tour that included 6 shows in Japan. 

Drawing from their experience curating dance floor musics, live and through djing, Evening News have been working to create a sound that is familiar, yet unique. The influences for their upcoming EP ‘New World’ of course incorporate the Melbourne peer influenced house and nu-jazz sounds that you know and love, whilst focusing on, and expanding the sonic landscape of the band. With strong nods to Jungle, 2 step and IDM legends Squarepusher, Aphex Twin and u-Ziq they push boundaries of what a live band can do in crossing over to the realm of the electronic. What was previously exclusive to each art form is now encased in one sound. 

Next week:

- 30th of Jan - Jay Jarome (live) + Barkada (live) + Link v Ness

Step into our dimly lit, red-curtained ballroom and vibe with live jazz.  Sip Milo cocktails, munch on hot Jaffles, and let nostalgia take over.

Experience diverse Modern Jazz, Soul, Afro, and more from Australia’s finest artists.

Indulge in Jaffles that bring out your playful side, like the SPC with extra cheese, and now also enjoy the recently added Toff Thai menu.

Pair it with Milo cocktails for a taste of carefree days past.

Doors open at 8:00 PM, delish.
