Great party last night with a 60s / 70s / 80s / 90s theme. 2 bands Madhen and Bjorn Again.
Madhen were a covers band, but they did a great job on high energy songs such as "Disco Inferno", "Atomic", "Dancing in the Street", "Tonight", "Music", "I Can't Get No Satisfaction", "Hammer Time", "Walk This Way" etc., plus they mixed it up a bit with excellent interpretations such as the lyric's of Wham's "Freedom" over the top of the classic heavy rock riff from ACDC's Back in Black - sounds odd, but worked very well.
There was scenery about the venue such as huge glitter balls, 80's mix tape cassette, space hoppers, classic arcade videos, Wii tennis, driving games, pinball etc. Acrobats did an aerial display and there were a couple of breakdancing style acts. The atmosphere was good and I think the event benefitted from being away from the conference centre, so not so many folks wandering around with their VMWORLD back packs still attached! Plenty of lubricant available from the free bar too, so pretty much all were in a relaxed mood.
Bjorn Again were the headline for the evening with their Abba replica show. They only did an hour, but were good value entertainment and there was much signing along. Musically very good and the did a bit of their own thing such as adding a rap to one of the Abba classics. Predictably they finished up with Dancing Queen, but that was fine, as anything else wouldve been a disappointment.
