Rockabilly Shakedown 2 Saturday 17 March - If you made it along to the last Rockabilly Shakedown at Mojo's, you'll know first-hand what happens when 3 of Perth's best rockabilly bands team up to bust out what they do best! The great news is the Shakedown is back- this time rockin' up a storm at the Indi Bar in Scarborough - and once again we showcase the best of Perth's rockabilly culture in a SHAKIN' night of wild sounds and twisted 50s glamour! Guest DJs will be spinning rockin' tunes from 8.30pm and each band brings it's own flavour of rockabilly action, from traditional 50s style through to voodoo rock n roll! Kicking off at 9pm, with guns a-blazing, we have JOHNNY LAW and the Pistol Packin' Daddies - featuring Perth's rockabilly queen HARRY DELUXE.Next up are the sensational rockers the CONTINENTALS - and all-star line-up with Howlin' Moondoggie Marco Agostino on lead vocals.The final ace in the deck is ROCKET TO MEMPHIS who bring a dose of voodoo-infused swampabilly to get your blood rushin', hips shakin' and eyeballs a-poppin! The ROCKABILLY SHAKEDOWN brings you a taste of Perth's diverse rockabilly sound and culture - and just $10 gets you a night of wild rockin' sounds and plenty of hot, shakin' action! Come down and see what's a brewing in the Perth scene.

Summersun dance competition starts this Friday @ The Lynwood. See poster below.

Pub Jive & Rock'n'Roll School - The classes in 2012, explode into action on Sunday 22nd January. This year we will have the privilege of dancing on a brand new dance floor. We kick off with a Beginners Rock'n'Roll and Improver's Pub Jive. All classes are still $12.00. This year also, will see the full time introduction of Ballroom Classes with (Ballroom Moves) ie Sue, every Monday night from 7.30 till 10, starting on Monday 23rd January. It commences with Beginners Slow Rhythm and Quickstep and Improver's Cha Cha and Tangoette. Classes are $12.00 per person per night. In 2012 we also intend to increase the number of Dances held at the Manning Bowling Club.
There will be a Monthly Ballroom Dance held on the 3rd Saturday of every Month. This is simply to satisfy the appetite of Ballroom fanatics. We will still have our very popular 6 weekly End of Course Dances.

Maria's Birthday @ The Mustang on Monday night
The Flying Doctor Rock'n'Roll Bush Dance @ Gidgegannup with Indiana was an awesome night out.

Weather was great - nice and cool, wonderful venue, great hosts, good food and a rockin' good time. Nice change from indoor venues. Great dance floor.  Video below.

Another great night at the Zodiacs Big Friday Night Rock'n'Roll Party with plenty of new faces and DJ Howdie catering to a big group of line dancers from Nuline Dance. Rhonda





A totally awesome night @ The Summer Swing Smackdown! What a credit to Harry and Mel - superbly organised, classy event! Definitely the Event not to miss! All four bands were on stage the whole night and rocked the place: Lucky Seven (from Adelaide); Harry Deluxe Swing Band; The Darling Buds of May and Libby Hammer Quintet. They battled it out for audience approval. It was superb! Dancers and dance demos rocked the floor all night. Wonderful venue! Great night just to watch, or to get down and boogie. Get your tix early for the next Smackdown as this first one sold out early - it's definitely an event not to miss! Looks like there'll be more this year - one for each season...so watch One-off Gigs. See Video .

 

Great night at Ashley's 50th birthday bash. Huge crowd and great response to having Howie DJ. The dance floor was packed during the breaks. All the best Ashley!
