The Summer Rocknroll Festival in Geelong organised by the Geelong Jukebox Rockers was held over 3 days with dances on Friday night with the Fender Benders and on Saturday night with the Smokin' Wingtips. There was also a dance workshop and rocknroll dance competition on Saturday. From all reports, the dances were very well attended.

Rockers everywhere celebrated New Year's Eve in several dances held around Melbourne and in country Victoria. The Uptown Catz played in Rosebud, Fender Benders in Pakenham, Kid James in Wheelers Hill, Moonlighters in Altona, Straight 8's in Bacchus Marsh, and the Rockin' Tones in Maryborough were just some of the many gigs held on New Year's Eve. I too joined in the fun by attending the dinner... [Read More]

At a time when several venues have closed their doors, the Dandenong Workers Club continues to provide quality live rock n roll bands and dancing every Friday night. There is also a live band on Saturday nights too. If you want more, you could also dance to DJ Flash or DJ Jeff on Sunday evenings. I have attended the venue since the early 2000's but I am sure it has been operating as a rock n roll... [Read More]

Sydney band, Toni & the Rhythm Cats, made its second performance tour to Melbourne last weekend. They played in Melbourne earlier this year when DJ Ashley brought the band out to play at the German Club in Windsor.
I first saw the band at Coolangatta's Cooly Rocks On 2 years ago and was impressed with their selection of tunes which are just great for rock n roll dancing. But I... [Read More]

The band, Juke Box Racket, has announced that they will now not be busking in the city on Swanston Street tomorrow afternoon (Saturday, 30th November). The weather forecast is shower for tomorrow so I assume it would not be safe to play in the open.
The invitation to take part in dancing on Swanston is therefore cancelled. Sorry for the late announcement.

For those who may not be aware, there is a new monthly live rocknroll music and dance venue in Hampton Park. It is hosted by the Hampton Park Rockers and I visited the venue for the first time last night. The venue is very impressive with a huge dance floor and those who regularly went to or remember the dances from years past at Little Maria's in Burwood's Whitehorse Club would appreciate...

Despite inclement weather, the rock n roll music festival in Camperdown last weekend was a great success in my opinion. This festival was re-started by some very dedicated people after the demise of Camperdown Rockabilly Cruise Festival 2 years ago. The town and local businesses were keen to keep this 1950's style festival alive as it was such a drawcard for patrons not only from all over... [Read More]

The Freccia Azzurra Club located on Springvale Road in Braeside is a rock n roll institution in its own right. I was told the venue was started by Lyndon and his Shadoogie band about 18 years ago after the closure of Pitrone's which was then the go to place in Melbourne for 1950's style bands and dancing. And today, it's still very popular with rockers and rockin' every Wednesday night with a... [Read More]

Fast Eddies Poolroom, arguably, has one of the best dance floors in Melbourne complimented by the venue's excellent sound system and general ambience as a dance venue. A very friendly place to visit whether to listen & dance to great bands, have a snack & drinks at the bar or just have a game of pool.
If you are looking for somewhere to dance on a Sunday night, Fast Eddies... [Read More]
