December 16th, 2023Studio 54 Revisited: Palais hosting NYE dance party

Second Hand News, the band that presented three sell out shows (Fleetwood Mac & Kate Bush) are promising to bring “one hell of a New Year’s Eve party” to The Palais, with a specially curated night of solid gold Studio 54 dance floor hits.

Studio 54 was the giddy epicenter of 70s hedonism, a disco hothouse of the most eccentric characters where anything went. Think plunging necklines, big hair, big jewelry, big personalities, the sound of sequins and the tinkling of whiskey and Champagne glasses as the local venue prepares to usher in 2024.

Second Hand News recreates the experience of seeing Fleetwood Mac in their heyday. Made up of veteran local musicians (Melissa Brausch, Josh Chicoine, Mike Holtz, Dan Ingenthron, Mike Vanier, and Lindsay Weinberg), the band features spot-on vocal harmonies, careful attention to detail, and electric live shows.

DJ Rich will also be on hand later in the evening right through to 2am, January 1, ’24 to take guests to the world of turntables and the 7” 45rpm vinyl single….from the dawn of the pop era in the 50’s and 60’s, rock classics to Motown soul, 70’s disco, 80’s new wave and old school hip hop.

Rich has done recent DJ sets at Dark Mofo, guest DJ to both John Farnham and Missy Higgins at the Botanical Gardens, Adelaide Beer & BBQ Festival, Panama Festival in Tasmania + more.

Tickets are limited and there’s prizes for ‘Best Dressed’.
