A picture is worth a thousand words so instead of explaining how vital GOODGOD is to Sydney’s nightlife scene/vibes, we’ll point you to the image above and say that this is the kind of debaucherous shit that goes down there on a regular basis. And somewhere in the background Aziz Ansari is high-fiving Skerrit Bwoy! We can’t guarantee any Parks and Recreation cast members this time around, but prepare for similar levels of euphoria/sweat when the late night bar, canteen and small club celebrates its first birthday with an epic three day mini festival.
Friday kicks off with a ‘Birthday Bashment’ seeing the UK’s biggest dancehall act Gappy Ranks land for an exclusive live show, alongside party-rap DJ gals Hoops, future indie R’n’B kid Guerre, 80’s funk freak Toni Toni Lee, Sydney’s hypest African hip-hop crew K1 and bass’n’booty DJ champions Kato, Levins, Jimmy Sing & Judgement, Huggz and Max Gosford.
Saturday’s crazy 12 band lineup is GOODGOD’s party showcase of the next biggest garage, psych and indie electronic bands in the country: a chartered bus from Melbourne delivers a riot with The UV Race, Super Wild Horses and The Twerps to play alongside Belles Will Ring, Melodie Nelson, Kill City Creeps, The Atom Bombs and psych dance-jam bands Holy Balm, Fishing and Forces.
Sunday’s GOODGOD All-Stars bonanza, sees the return of the GOODGOD House Band presented by the Midnight Juggernaut’s Daniel Stricker. This is GOODGOD’s big occasion band who play energetic garage rock covers of 80’s / 90’s dance hits and are fronted by an always amazing rotation of Stricker’s special guest friends. Two more of the country’s must-see live acts – Melbourne’s Oscar & Martin and Sydney’s disco keyboardist legend Donny Benet – will play amongst an all-in dance-a-thon stoked by those who rock the club’s resident club nights such as Jingle Jangle, Slow Blow, Hole in the Sky, Yo Grito, Special Moments and Love Kings.
