They want to breathe new life into a two-storey premises in the heart of the city centre, a year after it closed its doors.
That includes renaming the old Tonic Bar venue at 52-56 Bull Street the Sound Music Bar & Club.
The nightclub crew has asked the City of Greater Bendigo's permission to repaint the front facade white.
It would be a return to the sort of facade the venue had in the mid-2000s when it traded as the Boutique Lounge Bar.
It is currently a dark brownish colour that dates back to its days as the Huha nightclub.
Builders have been working on new internal fittings at the venue.
Changing of the guard
The latest plans come at a time of change for Bull Street's other major late night venue.
The Metropolitan's long-time owner revealed in March that he was calling last drinks and handing the keys to new owners.
The council is considering Sound's planning request and is expected to make a decision at a later date.
