About this act
Adelaide four-piece with a simple rule: play the 70s and 80s hits that haven't been thrashed to death. Pauline's husky vocals sit over Phil's guitar, Pete's bass and James on drums, and the songs come from Queen, The Police, The Pretenders, The Cars, Divinyls, Split Enz, Stray Cats, Bryan Adams, Eurythmics, Mondo Rock, Chain, Jo Jo Zep, Baby Animals, Diesel and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Two, three or four sets of 45 minutes with quarter-hour breaks, and a quieter set of background music for the dining stretch. Ask early and they'll learn a song that matters to you. PA and lighting come with them. Insured.
