PBS & Crown Ruler proudly come together to roll out the red carpet.
The queen is back! About this Event An unmistakable disco icon with a
giant voice, Evelyn 'Champagne' King returns to Melbourne for another
unbridled, booty-poppin performance. A year on from sweaty scenes at
the Duke Street Block Party, King reunites with the Mondo Freaks ,
this time for a very special, extended set in the intimate setting of
The Night Cat. A darling of the early MTV era, King's presence is
undeniable. You know the hits - tracks like ' Shame ', ' Love Come
Down ' and ' I'm In Love ' have and continue to save many a dance
floor worldwide. King sits in a rarefied territory, her music a
timeless brand of feel-good dance music that hits senses that can
crack the most hardened of chin-strokers. Embodying that perfect
musical marriage of a funky bottom and a pretty top, King was vital to
the post-disco development of R&B in the 80s. The fullness and spark
of her voice is instantly recognisable over the fat, synth-laden
productions of the boogie era, which included those from heavyweights
Kashif and brothers Foster and Leon Sylvers III. Last year we
witnessed that King has lost none of her sparkle. A masterful live
show that left us all wanting more. Saturday 29th February at The
Night Cat finish your summer on a high. Remind yourself that with dark
moments in the world, a touch of first-class soul can be
life-affirming. Feel the romance and dance the night away. This one
will leave you gleaming cheek to cheek. We acknowledge that this event
takes place on stolen land where sovereignty was never ceded and
treaty has not been made. We pay our respects to the Woi Wurrung/
Wurundjeri & Boon Wurrung people of the Kulin Nation, and their elders
past, present and emerging. As always, First Nations patrons can dm us
for complimentary tickets.
