On marched the suffragettes with their demands, waltzing up the stairs with contracts in hand, ensuing better working conditions and equal rights to their male counterparts. Well not quite, but the female dominance did take to the stage Saturday night, with the likes of   Marnie, Randa K and Georgia McDonnell-Adams setting out to prove they’ve got it where it counts.

Dressed in sequins, quifs and rock t-shirts, the girls kicked off the night just after 1am after Johno Choy, whose popularity amongst the Geisha elite is beginning to soar, set out to awaken the crowds from their slumber, ready to hit the dance floor with a thud.

With microphone in hand, Marnie, (renowned for many Perth events including the last “Puffs at Play” party), took to the stage, alongside James A, first giving crowds her rendition of Jill Scott’s “Golden” whilst upping the tempo just enough to lose the traditional r’n’b feel, and replace it with that house rhythm we all know so well.

Not before long Miss Randa K and Georgia began to work alongside the infamous Oli, causing diversity in the menu by offering the crowds some Deborah Harry influence with Blondie’s “One way or another” and the Masters at Work anthem “Backfired.”

Meanwhile, whilst the punters heard the vocal expressions of the trio, live percussion was also added to the mix, with a live percussionist situated on the blocks towering over the dance floor.

And wasn’t it something the crowd adored. A fine concoction of sounds amalgamated into one big soiree that still kept the Geisha atmosphere alive and space on the dance floor minimal.

This was definitely a positive change that spiced up the typical Saturday night that kept the masses happy and the post party discussions carry on into daylight hours. 

Unfortunately a few members of the multitudes did express their confusion, when their compliments to the trio for a job well done was either sharply brushed aside or appeared to be taken with minimal thanks. Perhaps it was due to the hard efforts put into the night that left these vocalists a little strained, drained and ready for departure. After all, everyone knows an appreciative crowd ensures a job well done.

And it was Joby who was left to draw the curtain, spinning the records and releasing the needle from four until sun-up. Not much to say on this however, except another unbeatable, rocking set from this fine music artist.
