See you on the dancefloor xx taken in Smith St Hotel by @thedworddj

@slowgrindfeverclub steps into the neon lit 1980s once again August 22nd at BAR OPEN. Enter the smokey dreamland and take a trip through risque r&b, druggy disco, adults-only AOR, languid lovers rock, nymphomantic new wave and all manner of uncategorizable moody melters aimed directly at the hips. DJs @richie1250 , @steely_ann and @thedworddj steer the spaceship '77-'93 style from 9pm til 230am, plus beloved chanteuse ESTHER HENDERSON @fanboi_fanboi (DTMSM, THE PROTEENS, TEK TEK) swings by around midnight to sing a classic 80s slow jam.
SLOW GRIND 80s #19 ('77-'93 EDITION)
DJs Richie1250, Steely Ann and The D Word, plus chanteuse Esther Henderson
Sat Aug 22 at BAR OPEN (317 Brunswick St, Fitzroy)
9pm-230am, $15 (CASH ONLY FOR DOOR CHARGE BUT EFTPOS AVAILABLE FOR BUYING DRINKS AT THE BAR)
NOTES:
- The door charge is CASH ONLY
- DM for mob tix list
- 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 to post later 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. Think of it like you're in a movie theatre, if you need to talk to somebody, lean into their ear 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.
- 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 by @thedworddj

Hand-drawn flyer for Gelato this Saturday at Dr Morse, playing Italo-disco, Synth-pop & HiNRG alongside music friends old and new.

Lovingly ripped off from Hajime Sorayama’s “Sexy Robot” series (published in 1983), in the great tradition of record sleeves appropriating this groundbreaking work (swipe for examples from my collection).

Last slide: flyer and promo cd from Gelati in 2006..
Not sure where the last 20 years went, but happy to still be doing this. by @thedworddj
