We play the slowest, sleaziest, spookiest, 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. SLOW GRIND FEVER #101 w/ DJs Richie1250, Aperol Ritz, China Bone and Loverboy Lopez plus LIVE performance from Simone Page Jones & Jules Pascoe Sat March 30th at BAR OPEN 9pm-230am, $15 (CASH ONLY FOR DOOR CHARGE BUT EFTPOS AVAILABLE ON THE BAR) 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, 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 to post up later on, but standing in the middle of the dancefloor looking down at your phone is poor Slow Grind etiquette) - 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 Stream the mix on the SGF mixcloud:

What a pleasure it's been. To celebrate we've got a bunch of favourite's on board. One of our first ever guests, Ms. Monica, jets down from Sydney to bless us with a rare appearance. The patron saint of Slow Grind Fever, Chanelle Rogers, promises an appropriately celebratory work of slow grind performance art. To close the night we'll extend the the usual torrid last half hour to a full hour of Miss Goldie and Richie1250 going back to back with the most heart melting of sweet and deep soul daggers. And in tribute to the much missed Pierre Baroni, we'll open with an hour of classic Pierre sets from the slow grind archives at 9pm.
