LOST in Sydney – The Secret Circus Review

25 Nov

We were whisked back in time to THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH – Imagine the Anticipation! Expectation!

1000 beautiful acrobats, jugglers, tightrope walkers, clowns, muscle men, bears in bicycles, ring masters, popcorn ladies and animals amazed each-other and revealed in a multi-sensorym all day orgasum of good times in the land of LOST.

I had heard the rumors, but my expectations were well and truly blown out of the water attending and participating in the THE LOST SECRET CIRCUS.

LE BANG were invited to perform with a last minute booking tearing the roof off the cinema stage for a half hour of power with R.I.A on the decks and Bang Bang working the crowd into a frenzy on the mic.

Here is a photo review Ceri Foster at ARTOF2DESIGNS who has kindly offered me some shots to showcase this incredible experience with you all.

Just imagine – A vintage express train, to a mystery location.. You find yourself at a old train museum, with wild and crazy and sexy  circus characters. You dance your ass off all day, then jump on the train back home for the biggest 10 carriage mobile, hands-in-the-air party disco you could imagine? Well guess what? It happened.

Thank you to LOST BOYS for the most outrageous 10 hours EVER! Love love love! X

Introducing The PLAY DJS (Performing at R&A 2013/14!)

12 Nov

It’s official!

The 2nd line up for Alps has landed and i’m super duper stoked to announce our brand new DJ duo PLAY DJS will be performing a set of banging breaks and party bizness against a dynamite line up at Rhythm and Alps 2013/14!!

PLAY DJS’ Is a brand new, bass rocking female DJ + MC duo featuring me, (RIA) and Wanaka’s queen of party breaks and lyrical dexterity, DJ & MC C:SHE, between us bringing 20 years of experience, passion and musically wise beats to the dance floor.

We aim to bring the breaks back with a fun, funky, bass-heavy show pushing ghetto-funk, party breaks and drum & bass, all hyped with the dynamite vocal prowess of Miss DJ C:SHE herself.

We promise to bring a fierce sense of style and infectious energy to the stage proving anything boys can do, girls can do better.

DJ C:SHE first burst onto the dance scene in Manchester in 2000. With a strong existing musical background as a singer and guitarist, she took to the turntables like a duck to water and her signature sound of booty bouncin’ electro breaks was born.  She’s an experienced Dj with an impressive list of support slots alongside UK’s breaks and Drum and bass elite such as; The Freestylers, Freq Nasty, Andy C and DJ Hype as well as playing a handful of festivals and rocking dance floors in Germany, France and Switzerland.
