Playlunch are a seven-member Australian band from Melbourne, Victoria, which formed in 2022.
The band was formed during Melbourne's COVID-19 lockdowns, originating as the project of lead singer Liam Bell, who began writing funk songs in a share house home-studio in Melbourne's eastern suburbs. Prior to forming Playlunch, several members had been part of Parkville, a folk band.
They have described their style as "bogan funk" and lyrically they have been said to capture "all the mundane details of Aussie culture with sharp wit and fond affection" with songs referencing Zooper Doopers, Healthy Harold, and Coles supermarkets.
The band members are Liam Bell (lead singer, guitarist), Michael D'Emilio (keyboardist/synth), Tom Kindermann (guitarist), Dylan Knur (bassist), Jerry Li (trumpeter), Andre Lew (saxophonist) and Austin Richardson (drummer).
