If the shoehorn fits

Groove Temple carefully squeezed into the Grand Hotel, Kiama on Saturday 30 July and were treated to a good show by the locals. Yes the bar top dancer was in great form and didn't let the boys down. Then there was the Melbourne lad who danced so hard, he lost the sole of his shoe. (Left his "soul" on the dancefloor?) He apparently got a lift home.

The weekend of 5th & 6th August is a rest weekend. There is a major wedding event happening and batteries need to be charged for 11th 12th & 13th August. Groove Temple is playing at the Dandaloo Hotel on Thursday 11th August, then off to the Riverina again to play at the Star Hotel in Tumut for Friday and Saturday night. All members of the band have agreed in their down time to charge up the batteries via the process of copious beer drinking and tantric sex. "We suffer for our art"

Happy Birthday Sophie!!

Another fresh gig.

Groove Temple successfully cracked a new venue again on Saturday 23rd July, this time at at Shellys at Shellharbour. Thanks to loyal Groove Temple supporters, the night was a big one. Dr K was obviously very happy to be playing so close to home. The boys stepped up to the mark, playing extra time as the first act didn't make it to the venue on the night.

It should be said there were some pretty "full-on" dancers and some natural comedians on the dance floor. Also there were lots of celebrations, mainly birthdays, in fact a ludicrous number. What is it with Shellharbour? Did everyone have a birthday on Saturday? Maybe they just needed an excuse to party. Groove Temple look forward to playing there again.

Saturday 30th July will see Groove Temple squeezing in to the Grand Hotel in Kiama. Ang (Vocalist) claims "We need a shoe horn to fit into this venue. I'm bringing my best one on Saturday. Maybe a scotch will make it easier."

Still too squeezie!

Friday night 15th July was a pearler for Groove Temple at the Ocean Beach Hotel, Shellharbour for the second week in a row. The boys jumped out of the box strongly and the friendly local crowd responded by partying well into the night. Like last week, there was still very little room to move on the dance floor so the young ladies present were again forced to bump and grind in very close proximity......and some young ladies took the initiative and pushed it one step further and left nothing at all to the imagination. They probably stole the show. Somebody has to do this job.

Saturday night was free, as one GT member had a buck's party to attend. Surely having two drummers at such an event would always be tragic. It's all about going away with the boys and "lowering one's self in the scale of humanity". No doubt the rest of the band is going to hear all about it for the next few gigs. Good luck and best wishes to Dave Baker from all at Groove Temple.

Saturday 23rd July will see Groove Temple at Shelly's (Shellharbour Worker's Club) at Shellharbour. It's a late start and finishes at 2am, so the boys will be sure to have their Weetbix first. Come along and have a groove with the band in the main lounge.

Room to move

The weekend just gone saw Groove Temple cracking a new venue for the boys. Friday 8th July was at the Ocean Beach Hotel at Shellharbour. Vocalist, Ang intimated to Groove Temple News that...."It was nice to be a virgin again, even if it was only for the night."

There was a good turn out on the night, despite attempts by mother nature to keep the punters away with torrential rain. There was little room to move on the dance floor, so some girls made do by dancing really close together. Distracting.

Saturday night was at the Shoalhaven Heads Bowling & Recreation Club for an exuberant dance crowd. They didn't want to let Groove Temple go home on Saturday. Great to see people having a good time.

Friday night 15th July will see Groove Temple doing a return gig at the Ocean Beach Hotel, Shellharbour. The boys are apparently looking for a strong follow up gig. See you there.

Haven't you people got babysitters to go home to?

It was a very big weekend for the Groove Temple crew. "Husky Pub was rocking on and lived up to our expectations." Smiling faces, dirty dancing, no fights and guaranteed hangovers for Saturday morning. What more could they ask for?.....and the food was excellent as usual!

Saturday night 2nd July was even bigger. Groove Temple did their community service thing and assisted by providing the entertainment for a local pre-school fund raiser. Over $4000 was raised and the parents in attendance were in serious party mode. Vocalist Ang was seen riding a tricycle across the dance floor for a charity bet and oh yes: embarrassing pics may soon be available on this website! There were a few legends on the night and some very committed dancers.

Getting them to go home was a challenge: "Haven't you people got baby sitters to go home to?"

Friday 8th July will see Groove Temple pestering the locals at the Ocean Beach Hotel, Shellharbour. This will be a new venue for the boys and they eagerly anticipate some fresh meat, or maybe the same could be said for the locals. Either way, they're always keen for a new venue.

Saturday 9th July will be at the Shoalhaven Heads Bowling and Recreation Club. Come along and groove out if you can.
