Saint Valentine called and said that cos Feb 14 is a Saturday this year he wants an extra romantic edition of Slow Grind Fever with all smoochy songs and no "you broke my heart you tore it apart" business. And he wants all the guest DJs to be actual romantic couples playing record for record, heart to heart. And he wants that adorable SIMONE PAGE JONES who sings the sultry version of HOT STUFF that everybody loves to sing some romantic songs. And he wants me to pull out the special ice cooled smoke machine for a blanket of magical low lying fog. And also he wants it to be a BYO house party cos that's the best way for people who don't have some romance to find some romance.
And when a legend in the field of romance who's been dead since the 3rd century calls you on the telephone, you don't say "how did you get my number?." You say, "Yes sir, your wish is my command sir."


So we have assembled a crack team of DJ couples (Ria & Sofia, Ginger & Dan aka Ginger Hair & Carpet Dan, Nai & Dom aka Nai Palm & Cazeaux OSLO, Nik & Steph aka DJ Earl Grey & Steve) who know the meaning of romance to trade sets with your host Richie1250 throughout the night, we have engaged SIMONE PAGE JONES to work her magic on the microphone, we have procured the low lying fog fluid, we have begun compiling a list of romantic films to screen in the lounge room, and we have begun finessing the lighting in the kitchen so it's bright enough to see who you're talking to but not so bright that you can inside their pores.


May Saint Valentine smile upon us.


100 tickets only so don't sleep.

Slow Grind Fever presents a FAST GRIND FEVER B.Y.O. HALLOWEEN HOUSE PARTY this All Hallows Eve, Friday October 31st! Gather with your fellow ghouls at GALLERIA CROCODILLO, where you can thrill to the ghastliest cinematic oddities in the horror movie lounge, tell your best ghost stories in the backyard, flirt up a haunted tropical storm in the kitchen, and of course frug the night away on the smokey dance floor. Our undead DJs, freed from the shackles of slow for one night only, shall make you sweat out the sin 'til the night closes in.
From 9 until 11:59, your host Nosferichie1250 will be conjoined with Psymon L. Axeton for a terrifying feast of freaky and frightening forty fives from the 50s and 60s.
Then, at the stroke of midnight, we cross that phantasmic border into the spooky seventies and beyond, where Uncle Nosferichie meets the two headed monster BRONTESAURUS HEX B2B LOU ROSE FROM THE DEAD in a demonic disco dance-off! No-one leaves alive! Bleaaargghhhhh!
Only 100 ghouls may cross the threshold of Galleria Crocodillo this night. Will you find yourself holding the glowing green ticket to unknown pleasures, or be left outside in the graveyard of disappointments???
