Slow Grind Fever
Express from Melbourne, Australia and crossing international waters for the first time this October, Meow is excited to welcome the slowest, spookiest, smokiest and swingin'-est club night Wellington has ever seen: Slow Grind Fever.
For this one-night-only episode of SGF Wellington, founder Richie1250 (PBS) will be joined by fellow Melbourne radio alumnus Dr. Popalotacorn (RRR, 98.1FM Raglan) and Wellington's own belle of the airwaves Miss Juliet (RadioActive.FM Americana).
Slow Grind Fever was born when Richie1250 hired a Russian Cultural Centre ballroom and threw a slow dance party for his 30th birthday. They had a mountain of pickles and cheese on the table out the back, people brought their own red wine and brown liquor, they turned out all the lights and Richie, Pierre Baroni and Mohair Slim played their slowest, spookiest, sweetest, swingin'-est records all night long. Now they post up a monthly Slow Grind Fever mix in the week before the party every month and are collaborating with Stag-O-Lee Records in Germany on a series of Slow Grind Fever LPs and CDs.
Listening to the MP3 mixes is nice, but when you’re in the room all wrapped up in smoke with the music sizzling right off the old records, through the speakers and into your brain, well, there's nothing quite like it…
