Tickets:  $20.00 or $15 concession

Lamuria Community Dance Club in association with Klubb Kultja are presenting CULTURE DANCE!! at the Fly By Night Club in Freo on Fri 5th Sept, 2008.

Klubb Kultja is an Indigenous-based multicultural music club that celebrates reconciliation and multiculturalism and community harmony within Australian society.

The Phill Moncrieff BANNED is a multi-cultural world music experience that exponents love, peace and freedom through song. The sound of the BANNED is an underground fusion of reggae, ska, jazz, modern and 60's psychedelic rock and Indigenous rhythms from round the globe and the guys symbolise how the breaking down of barriers through the earth language of song can touch hearts, heal and provide an experience that creates understanding and harmony amongst all peoples. The BANNED is not therefore a band as such, but rather a musical vehicle that espouses and spreads a concept based on human love, deep spirituality, Reconciliation and how we all need each other to enrich life itself.

DJ Avi playing uplifting world fusion/electro; Avi’s choice of music and timing always creates a soulful atmosphere where different emotions can be explored.

There is a place for laughter and a place for tears there is ecstasy and there is peace. But most importantly there is love. Love of music love of life and love of the dance that we all can share.

Abbe May & The Rockin’ Pneumonia will be launching the second single from debut LP "Howl & Moan" at the Fly By Night, with special guests to be announced...

At the centre of Abbe May’s charm is an extraordinary voice - a stirring howl borne on the melancholic balladry of a grieving heart. As confrontational as it is vulnerable, her characteristically anguished moan conceals an undercurrent of hot-blooded intensity within the poetry and grunge-fuelled candour of her music and band The Rockin’ Pneumonia.

Abbe May & The Rockin’ Pneumonia’s unadulterated talent does not go unnoticed, winning numerous WAMi Awards –including ‘Best Female Vocalist’ in 2007 and 2008, and ‘Most Promising Act’ in 2008. Abbe May and her rockin’ blues band have been captivating a growing audience and tirelessly amassing a significant repertoire whilst supporting The Drones, Billy Bragg, The Cops, CW Stoneking, The Waifs and Mia Dyson among others. The band’s festival record includes Wave Rock Weekender, Southbound and West Coast Blues and Roots.

VAN SHE

UNDER 18’S EVENT

Doors Open:  3.00pm

Tickets: $25.00 + bf from www.moshtix.com.au

Gearing up for what is set to be a huge 2008, those fearless explorers of new-wave, post-punk, Van She are celebrating the release of their debut album 'V' by hitting the road with their next installment of what's quickly becoming everyone's favorite party du jour..... a Van She Party.

Having taken over the airwaves of late with songs like the psychedelic electronic bliss of Strangers, the lurching space rock of Cat & The Eye, and the French-pop charisma of Changes, Van She are back with a blistering live show and a party night set to rival the best, as it criss-crosses the country this coming August and September.

Merging their indie-club following with sweaty nightclub dwellers, the Van She Party avalanche keeps building momentum as it rolls boldly where no party has gone before, promising to pick up old faithfuls and take new friends in its wake.

The seeds of the Van She Party were sewn in between recordings, tour dates and various remix projects, side steps with Van She Tech, and over drinks with friends, all the while with a vision to create a hybrid live/DJ tour, that fashions a no holds barred party atmosphere.
