SLOW GRIND FEVER SYD EORA #5
About
SLOW GRIND FEVER returns to Gadigal Land for another intimate B.Y.O. D.I.Y. slow dance, this time in a brand new secret spot we shall point you to on the day.We play the slowest, slinkiest, spookiest, sleaziest, sweetest, swinginest old records we can find, and people dance real slow in a haze of smoke and dim red light. It's a good time.
For this edition, your host Richie1250 (Stone Love, PBS FM) and special guest Midnight Siren (Queen Bee DJs) are joined by NYC's sultriest sax player, FREDDY DEBOE. A veteran sideman for all our Daptone favourites including Sharon Jones, Charles Bradley, James Hunter and Lee Fields, Freddy's most recent 45 "Lora Blu / Lost at Sea" is pure slow grind magic, and we're stoked to have him on board spinning 45s from his deep collection and blowing boiling hot sultry saxophone over the top of them!
Due to the location this one has an earlier start and finish than usual (6pm to 12am), but once you're inside the dark, smokey dreamland ye shall find the clock has no hands, so have an early dinner and slip on in...
NOTES:
- We only have space for 80 slow grinders at this spot, so don't dilly dally too long on buying your ticket...
- This a BYO house party type situation with no bar, so bring what you need for the night.
- There will be a smoke machine going all night and it will get very smokey. The smoke is non-toxic but if you ain't into smoke machines this might not be the party for you...
- The dancefloor at Slow Grind events is for dancing. If you need to use your phone or have a conversation, please do it over in the hallway or go outside and get some fresh air. (We don't mind you taking a quick photo or video to post up later on or saying hello to your friends, but standing in the middle of the dancefloor staring down at your phone or talking loudly is poor Slow Grind etiquette and distracts people trying to achieve ecstasy on the dancefloor. Act like you're in a movie theatre, lean in and whisper.)
- Slow Grind Fever is not specifically a partnered dancing event. Some people dance with a partner, some with a group of friends, some alone with their eyes closed. You can do it how you wanna.
- The vibe of the night is very hazy and sultry, but the vibe is also about having good manners. Don't be all up in someone's personal space if they aren't inviting you.
