Aren't you sick of sipping over priced drinks with a bunch of people trying to look like starving artists and wishing you could dance, but being shamed into droll convos about how "ironic" everything is?
Footscray is the setting for your new, unlikely hero.
The Footscray Exchange Hotel is injecting a bit of fun into your fridays. Their new night of dance and naff nostalgia "Footscray I'm In Love" is melting your favourite cheesy hits from years gone by in a fondu pot of good times. Yeah baby.
Get down and boogie to the likes of The Zoot and Billy Idol without a care in the world while the most choice TV clips from the 60's, 70's and 80's glow promisingly from a projector screen. Dancing never felt so good.
Best of all it's free and the drinks are cheap, so you'll still be able to afford to kick it old school and grab some dimmies and a Chiko roll on the way home (don't think about that as a metaphor).
BYO big hair, friendly attitude and 'Ripper 1976' compilation album. This night's got the potential to change the way those hipsters control the club scene, let's start a revolution with some kick ass music.
This week's Line Up includes:
- DIRTY GARRY (BARBARELLA / SWIZZLE)
- OWEN D'VINYL (SWIZZLE)
- El BASTARDO (GIMME SHELTER)
- NOM DE PIERRE (DEBUTANTE)
- PLUS SPECIAL GUEST
Think RRR circa 1986, JJJ 1990, 3KZ circa 1986 … think Clockwork Orange circa 1992 ... Lizard Lounge 1996. We’re going back to basics!
Huge screen featuring an eclectic collection of kitsch and cheesy TV snippets!
