I’m so excited tell you about our club night at ‘CHRISTINES’. I have moved the events to ‘Lucky 13 Garage’ a purpose built garage decked out like a 50’s diner. It has a new dance floor and a neon 50’s feel. First to play on the night was a 3 piece local band called Southbound Train who are new on the scene - and then, a band I discovered on my trip to Adelaide THE LINCOLN'S.
The Lincolns really went down a storm in their ‘Teddy Boy’ drape suits and with their cool, sophisticated, rockin’ style. The guys, exhausted from their drive from Adelaide, went right on stage and thrilled the dancers with their classic Rock n Roll & Rockabilly.
The Dj for the night was ‘Midnight Rocker’ from the UK playing some always needed neo-rockabilly such as The Jets, The Deltas, Restless, which got the guys up and boppin' English Style, which is a singles dance (I could have almost been back in England).
Dj ‘Midnight Rocker’ also known as Dave Gartland brought along a fantastic original collection of handmade aluminium guitars which were lined up like the Queens Guards as soon as you walked into the venue. Ready to play for anyone who was game, the Ali Kat guitars and a double bass were used in the Lincolns big jam session at the end of the night which went on for nearly an extra hour! Two girls even hopped up and had a go Sonyta Trahar from Sonyta & The Incinerators & Liv Parker who also has her own Rockabilly band....it was a fantastic night to be proud of!
Roll on the next one on Aug 27th (see Events column).
