Fred Negro is officially the unofficial mayor of St Kilda. The legend who sings, paints, illustrates and generally documents St Kilda's boho Rock culture - an icon of Melbourne’s live music scene. Bands from Melbourne’s Punk heydays to today - the Editions, I Spit On Your Gravy, the Shonky Tonks, the Twits, The Fuck Fucks, the Peptides, the Black Molls, ETC..
Fred is a moving landmark in St Kilda, marching at a clipping pace between pubs, venues, pubs, galleries and pubs. Fred is easily recogisable wearing a confusion of animal prints, Collingwood (AFL football club) merch', and psychedelic lycra. He always has his faithful stallion 'Horsey' in one hand and a bag of props and paraphernalia in the other - ready for a gig anywhere (as long as it's in St Kilda) or any time (as long as he isn't already booked for a show).
