Particularly nasty weather.

Groove Temple played at Husky Pub at Huskisson, on the NSW South Coast on Friday 20th October, finding themselves hosts to a few celebrations, notably one young lady having a milestone birthday. Erica and her friends owned the dance floor on Friday and did not give it up for anyone. Happy Birthday Erica from the guys from Groove Temple.

During the evening, the weather turned nasty, with a chilly southerly blowing through early in the evening. Not so with the patrons of the pub. Attendees were mostly in royal party moods, dancing feverishly, possibly to keep warm.

Groove Temple managed to work up a sweat on the night, spending their time focusing on dance floor grooves and it paid off. The dance floor was the busiest spot in the venue. Well done guys!

G.T. will be at Shellharbour Workers Club on Saturday 28th October, hoping to heat things up there again.
Be there.

interpretive dance?

Groove Temple blasted back from a well deserved break on Friday 13th October, landing firstly at the Dandaloo Hotel, Kanahooka, with no discernable injuries. This may not be the case for some punters who most likely put a backbone or two out of place whilst trying on some choreographic gymnastics in the form of bum-wiggling and the ever popular hip-grinding.

The new dance moves created on the night were not recorded for posterity’s sake, which is probably a good thing. Lead vocalist Ang remarked: “The interpretive dance on the night was art in its truest form*, although it may be described by some as as a black art, as the evening did take a turn for the worst when one gentleman decided to lower himself in the scale of humanity by lowering his trousers for comedic effect.....It had very little aesthetic appeal.......It wasn’t me”.

Band members were seen to be desperately averting their eyes, in their efforts to avoid psychological damage. Nevertheless the evening ended with no injuries, deaths, jail terms, cruelty to animals, nor sworn career changes.

Saturday found G.T. back at the Grand Hotel in Kiama to a great dance vibe and a chance to catch up with some locals and Groove Temple fans. The presence of formally dressed punters was a little surprising for the band. There was a charity ball on in town and apparently many patrons were able to escape early to get in some beers and some dance floor grooves with GT before closing at their favorite local.

Also Kiama's cricket team won their first game for the season on Saturday and celebrated in Grand style. With luck, they may have fully recovered by the next game.

Groove Temple will be at the Husky Pub, Huskisson on Friday 20th October. They are according to reports, eager to see the locals performing at their best, as the punters are wont to throw themselves around a bit. Maybe they should do some stretches before they start.


*The Shorter Oxford Dictionary, fifth edition, 2002, Volume 1, principally describes “Art” as an application of skill, according to aesthetic principles and includes performing arts, encompassing dance, music and similar disciplines.
