The last time Goodgod truly melted with tropical humidity was Easter Saturday ~ a night presented by the hottest dance party in Sydney, United Colours! And then they went and got voted No. 1 monthly club night by Time Out magazine!

Representing the freshest troppo house, UK funky, tech house and bashment dancehall the UC crew have turned lots of minds inside out for new sounds.

This party is a fundraiser for the Goodgod PA and venue repairs. In generous words UC write: "Don't think of it as a charity but more an investment in the future of good times in Sydney!"

Tortoiseshell (Live)
+ Michael 'Cue It Up' (Noise in my head, Melb)
+ Steele Bonus
+ label honchos DJ Street Eagle & DJ Taxbill

Every two months now the Canyons boys will be bringing the vibes to Goodgod presenting artists from their Hole In The Sky label. This Saturday, DO NOT MISS the blissful Balearic sounds of recent signing, Tortoiseshell.

Launching their debut single, ‘This Girl’, this will be the first ('return') show for the much loved group once known as Tennis.

A musical squad of dudes, cousins, and brothers, Tortoiseshell ride the sunny currents of Talk...ing Heads, ESG, afro pop, the 80s, Howard Arkley, deep wave, Roxy Music et al. They will take you to crystal, clear turquoise waters. They make music for the sand pit, island sojourn, disco or pastel bedroom. Their conga cuts, energy and high spirits map a vast vista of pop taking in many mediums and times.

As smart casual agents of new age song, the shells’ pop manifesto is enshrined on this new single - pick it up on Hole In The Sky, digitally and on 12" Vinyl.

"Tortoiseshell's 'This Girl' is a beautiful harmonious pop track full of the kind of shimmer that lifts the spirit. Another fine Canyons production." Justin Miller (DFA Records)

Tortoiseshell will be followed by a serious dancefloor jamdown by mysteriously named DJs including Michael Cue from the killer Noise In My Head radio show in Melb.

Death Strobe DJs (including Paul Jextra!)
+ Slow Blow + very special guests DJ set

Now... back at Easter weekend we were ramping up for a debut party from discodelicious.com's newly announced local label Death Strobe. And bad fortune struck. We had to vacate the club and Death Strobe debuted elsewhere.

But as the fortune turned and we are back at Goodgod rebuilding... now Death Strobe has become a legit label and can celebrate it's first official release by Domeyko/Gonzalez at the party that was just meant to be! Isn't life fucking fantastic!

We'll be guzzling sangria with some very special GOODGOD friends/guests who are in town for the night (who's going to The Forum on Friday!?), as well as disco hunks Slow Blow and a few other DSR friends to work out the beastly new Nexo sound system.

Once again the first 50 people through the door will get super groovy CDs featuring tracks from upcoming releases and current Death Strobe faves. Death Strobe's first release by Domeyko/Gonzalez will be on sale so come get your mitts on a copy before they're goneskies!

This is going to be a huge one. Note early doors ~ 8.30!

Anna Lunoe + Bad Ezzy + Nina Las Vegas

The Hoops chica trio, Bad Ezzy, Nina Las Vegas and Anna Lunoe have been very busy little bees this year.

Nina has been producing crazy good beats with Heaps Decent, collabing with Big Boi not to mention dominating on triple j every saturday night for 7 HOURS STRAIGHT on the House Party & Mix Up Programs!

Bad Ezzy (along with Kato, Wax Motif & Charlie Chux) has given Sydney the amazing United Colours Parties, bringing out some of the fiercest producers & dj's in the world right now such as Kingdom, Teki Latex & Orgasmic, Solo plus basically shutting down Splendour in the Grass 2010 with their MAD closing set.

And Anna Lunoe has been circling this great country (& beyond!) over and over on what has been an endless year of touring, mixing and producing. She has become first babe with a comp out on Ministry of Sound plus her first official remix about to be released.

For all girls its been a massive year individually, so this year, each Hoop will be playing a solo set, showcasing their diverse musical appetites. They will also be joined by special guests Alley Oop (Adelaide) and the UNBELIEVABLE Count Funkula (ahem! Chris...) and his (Ahem...Bag...) AMAZING rub-a-dub band (Ahem.. Raiders!)!!

Catcall meets Goodgod! This has been years in the making!

Catcall's one of the club's dearest friends, but we've never hosted her until now ~ for her first show in 7 months!

Catcall is the moniker of 23-year-old electronic pop artist Catherine Kelleher. Since the project’s inception Catcall has transformed from lo-fi beat purveyor to sassy and inventive
disco pop artist. Catherine cut her musical teeth as a teenager in DIY punk group Kiosk, a band famed for their polarizing and bratty no-wave noise sound but eventually discovered their pop sensibility within the aggression and urgency of punk rock.

Catcall burst onto the music scene with her much celebrated debut EP ‘Anniversary’ and has been a radio regular with singles such as August, Chicky Babe and Bad Move Baby.
After touring last year with the likes of Phoenix and La Roux, and performing at Parklife, Homebake and Big Day Out, Catcall is currently putting the finishing touches on her debut
album.

Alpine (formerly Swiss) are travelling up from Melbourne to give live support, Toni Toni Lee will be running the PA dance all night and Jimmy Sing and Count Doyle will be bringing extra selections.

From Jingle Jangle's Smokey LaBeef:

"It's true what they say, that you don't know what you've missed until it's gone, and for a while there folks it seemed we would be consigned to the annals of history like Studio 54.

However, I prayed for days, listened to a lot of gospel and the Lord spoke to me, he said "it's not time yet Smokey", and tears began to well in my eyes and I rose up and shouted in my loudest voice "Lord, you are a GOODGOD are you not - then grant me but one wish before I part this sodden place!"

Well my prayers have been answered because after a 4 month hiatus Jingle Jangle returns to Sydney's favourite backroom dive - GOODGOD Small Club.

There will be drinking AND There will be dancing, lots of dancing, to the finest soul, gospel, calypso, blues and rock & roll this side of the equator!

So please join hosts Smokey LaBeef & Smart Casual ALL NIGHT, as we remove the glad wrap from GOODGOD and turn the temperature up 200 degrees."

Hawnay Troof (USA)
+ Kirin J Callinan
+ Dominic Talarico
+ Simo Soo
+ Emily Hasslehoof (DJ set)

Evading trends and falling into repetition might be career suicide for most, yet somehow Hawnay Troof, the solo outlet of Vice Cooler, has defied these odds and created a world of his own. An independent man to the end, Mr Troof, has been owning the stage with his hot-headed, hyperactive, stuttering electronic punk-rap for years now.

He's toured with and played with Peaches, High Places, the Boredoms, Chicks on Speed, Quintron, the Vivian Girls and The Gossip. And he's just released his fifth album?!! So get to know.

Hawnay Troof is joined by a line-up of Sydney's most solo, most for real legends ~ Mr Callinan, My Talarico, Mr Soo and Ms Hasslehoof.

Darren Sylvester (Melb)
Album Launch

+ Scott & Charlene's Wedding (Melb)
+ Dominic Talarico

Photographer Darren Sylvester wrote and produced an album on vinyl for exhibition. It was snapped up by Unstable Ape (home to Bird Blobs, Sir, Love of Diagrams) and Remote Control records (home to The XX, Vampire Weekend) and has been released to critical acclaim.

The album takes its cues from Avalon-era Roxy Music and Berlin-era Bowie. Sylvester’s live experience is of the new-new-wave performed solo with guitars, drum machine and synthesizer.

“A ghostly collection of synthetic recordings for Karen Carpenter, Phil Spector, remembered authenticity and pure pop fiction. Roxy Music, Japan, The Pretenders and The Cars all feature musically.” ThreeThousand

“What he came up with just happens to be a contender for the slickest pop album of the year.” Inpress

“a mix of wit, homage and melodic brilliance… making this strange art-pop artefact an unqualified success.” EG, The Age 

After Canyons' ecstatic 'Fire Eyes' launch in October they're back at Goodgod to present Hole In The Sky's first ever label night.

Live for the first time in Sydney, HITS brings to you the glamour psychedelic sounds of POND. The Perth based 4 piece (featuring members of Tame Impala) have been expanding minds over in the west and are now heading east to continue experiencing the people.

Pond are H.I.T.S. newest signing (joining Tame Impala, Jacques Renault, A Delicate Genius and Canyons)... so look out for an album just around the corner.

Extra Dance music on the night from HITS founders Canyons and Steele Bonus.

PRESALE TICKETS SELLING ULTRA FAST! THIS WIL BE A SELL OUT ~ ONLY A SMALL RELEASE ON THE DOOR!

London's Sinden requested a small, exclusive club show for his January tour to throw it down exactly how he wanted to. THIS IS IT! Jimmy Sing, Levins and Huggz are proud to present him in the intimate setting of Goodgod Small Club.

Mashing together the sounds of dubstep, grime, funky house, and other flavors of underground dance, Sinden, half of production duo The Count & Sinden, conquered dancefloors in 2008 with his infectious single Beeper.

A year later they released the more house sounding cut Everybody Rockin and in 2008 they fully embraced the sounds of grime and garage, releasing Beeper and getting signed to indie label, Domino. That same year, they collaborated with Baltimore vocalist Rye Rye for their Hardcore Girls single and have been working on an album for release in 2010.

Without The Count, Sinden hosts a famed radio show on London based station Kiss FM, runs the Counterfeet label with Switch and has gained continuous support in nightclubs across the globe with his remixes of a huge range of artists, including Lady Sovereign, DJ Mujava, Bjork and Crystal Castles.

We have Australia's FIRST EVER dancehall bashment party by... the legendary, mad, sick and crazy... SKERRIT BWOY!!

If you've ever youtube'd the wild slaprobatic Jamaican dancehall dancing style of daggering you'll know this man. He is THE legend of the game.

Check some clips of the action here:

Daggering: How Far is to Far, Dagga fi di gyal dem, or this episode of Daggerin 2 di World.

Skerrit got fame for hosting the Bronx's famous Ghetto Life dancehall parties on the mic, behind the decks and pon de floor. He dress clean and sharp and dances physical! His dance style has been banned in Jamaica and now he gets toured around the world by his allies at MAD DECENT!

This is his ONLY CLUB SHOW in Australia!

Dress fine this is going to be INSAAAAAAAAAAANNNEEE!!! 

NB. Daggering is consensual - it's dancing and it's performance. You're not gonna get daggered by just being in attendance!
