Retro Revival

A group of musicians from as early as 2001 until the present. Commonly swing guitar brands such as Rickenbacker, in both guitar and bass. Dress like twat wannabe 50's bands. Watch as they play live and struggle to play their instruments and look up at the audience at the same time. Many 'muso' wannabe's listen to Retro Revival, such as Henry Bilinsky. Band's are often formed by eastern suburb private school boys, and in turn a garage band is born and thus coined "retro revival". RR bands are a favourite at various Sydney gay clubs.

Franz Ferdinand, Jet, The Eels.
