Saturday April 3
9pm onwards…

Soul-A-Go-Go is back after 3 months of rest, rehab and record collecting. There may be new venue, but the same good times are guaranteed when PBS presents Melbourne’s finest monthly night of Funk & Soul dancefloor burners.  Just as with the previous nights, the Johnson will operate two rooms, splitting the Soul DJs and Funk DJs across 2 floors. We’re not really sure what PBS have up their sleeve for the re-opening night – but expect the new Soul A Go Go to be bigger and even better than before.

The soul room will be shaking to the sounds of Vince Peach, Pierre Baroni, Emma Peel, Richie 1250 and live band Saskwatch! In the funk room it’s gonna get nasty with DJ Manchild, Miss Goldie and Zack Rampage tearing it up for PBS, along with special guests - Northside’s one and only Chris ‘Funky Sneakers’ Gill and Minister for Misinformation, Rex aka. Mistarex.

It’s not often that any of the Northside Crew appear on the same bill – so both Chris and I are looking forward to burning the house down with our favourite and most ferocious funk 45’s and vinyl rarities. I’m also excited about seeing Melbourne’s best and most innovative DJ dance moves from the original master of the ‘hip drop’ and long time pundit of the Dunlop Volley, Chris ‘I’m Busy, I’ll call you back’ Gill. We’ve said it before – but we’ll say it again: Sensible shoes is a must. Get Down!

Check the PBS website or keep your eye out for PBS posters featuring Tina Turner (hopefully not singing Nutbush), for more information. Rest assured, no one in the funk room is gonna play Nutbush. Just to prove it I thought I’d best knock up a Northside rebel flyer.
