NOTES:
- 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 Fever is for dancing. If you need to use your phone or have a proper conversation, please do it over by the bar or go outside and get some fresh air. (We don't mind you taking a quick photo or video or saying hello to your friends, but standing in the middle of the dancefloor looking down at your phone or talking loudly is poor Slow Grind etiquette and distracts people trying to focus on the music)
- 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.
- To avoid random late night drunks who may not understand this, we stop letting new people in at 1:30. If you are going to turn up after 1:30, the password to get in is LITTLE WILLIE JOHN

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???

Express from Melbourne, Australia and crossing international waters for the first time this October, Meow is excited to welcome the slowest, spookiest, smokiest and swingin-est club night Wellington has ever seen: 'Slow Grind Fever'.

For this one-night-only episode of SGF Wellington, founder Richie1250 (106.7 PBS FM) will be joined by fellow Melbourne radio alumnus Dr. Popalotacorn (RRR, 98.1FM Raglan) and Wellington's own belle of the airwaves Miss Juliet (RadioActive.FM Americana).

Slow Grind Fever was born in 2012 when Richie1250 hired a Russian Cultural Centre ballroom and threw a slow dance party for his 30th birthday, and it's been running as a regular monthly club night ever since. Richie and his friends play the slowest, sleaziest, spookiest, sweetest, swinginest old records they can find, and people dance real slow in a haze of smoke and dim red light. It's a good time.

In the last few years Richie has taken Slow Grind Fever on the road, with regular dances in Sydney, Hobart, Darwin and Alice Springs.
They post up a monthly Slow Grind Fever mix in the week before the party every month, and have collaborated with Stag-O-Lee Records in Germany on a series of Slow Grind Fever LPs and CDs.

Enjoy the music and if you feel so inclined, get down to Slow Grind Fever - Wellington at Meow on Friday 17th October. Listening to the MP3 mixes is nice, but when you’re in the room all wrapped up in smoke with the music sizzling right off the old records, through the speakers and into your brain, well, there's nothing quite like it…
