Summertime shaking

One summer Saturday evening, Jay, Smell and I decided to trek on out to the Coogee Bay Hotel to see some local talent...The Potbelleez.

We got there a little early, had a bite to eat (food was quite tasty), then had a few beverages while we waited for the ‘night club’ (Selinas) to open up (which was an hour later than expected – which meant all the other start times were pushed back about an hour too).

Jay and I had previously seen The Potbelleez at Homebake in previous years (in the Big Top) and based on that experience, we were very much looking forward the night ahead.

Selinas filled up and when The Potbelleez got on stage they were greeted by enormous support from the crowd.   

Hello...

To start off, they performed their latest song Hello and from that point on, the crowd shuffled to the front of the club and started dancing – and did not stop until the end. In the middle of their gig, The Potbelleez took a little break from singing and did a bit of a DJ set which saw some audience members get up on the speakers and do some podium dancing. The atmosphere was fun and friendly and when The Potbelleez came back on stage for their encore, they finished off with their hit Don’t Hold Back and another one of their latest hits – Shake It.

Don't Hold Back

What is good about The Potbelleez is they mix up amazing dance music that gets you up and moving, which is then coupled with great singing. Lyrics are sung so quickly yet they are so clear, you can understand everything being said. 

We had a great night of entertainment dancing up a storm. The Potbelleez did not disappoint and I’m looking forward to the release of their second album in the new year – bring on 2011!
