Get Together feat Sneaky Sound System


For the first time ever, two of Australia’s leading gay and lesbian promoters are teaming up for a one-off party that will give the boys and girls somewhere to party on the Saturday night of the Queen’s Birthday Long Weekend, headlined by Sneaky Sound System.

They’ve shared the stage with Robbie Williams, the Scissor Sisters, Jamiroquai and James Brown, were named “one of the most sought after acts in the world” by the Daily Telegraph and their single “Pictures” has spent over three months in the number one spot on the club charts.

Now Sneaky Sound System have just been confirmed as the headline act for Get Together on the June Long Weekend. Get Together is the unique event that Fag Tag and Bitch are joining forces to create on Saturday June 9 at The Forum and surrounding spaces to continue the important tradition of Hand-in-Hand and raise much needed funds for the AIDS Council of NSW (ACON) on the Queen’s Birthday Long Weekend.

Get Together will be the first time that Sneaky Sound System have played to a gay and lesbian audience in Sydney since taking the world by storm with the release of their platinum-selling debut album. Their breakthrough hit “Pictures” has spent more than three months at the top of the club charts (“I’ve got lots of pictures in my head, you better not turn off the projector…oohh!”) and their legendary live performances have seen them perform at every major stadium in the country, the recent MTV Awards and at Live Earth next month.

Enchanting lead singer Connie Mitchell, MC Double D, Black Angus and the Sneaky Sound System band will be performing all of their current hits, including “Pictures”, “UFO” and “I Love It”, in the intimate surrounds of The Forum at the Entertainment Quarter (formerly Fox Studios) as part of the 8-hour Get Together winter festival-style event.

Sneaky Sound System will be joined at Get Together by some of the best local talent who will be battling it out in a unique back-to-back DJ style that sees some of the country’s favourite DJs teaming up with each other. In the main room, Alex Taylor will take on Kate Monroe on the turntables, Chip fronts up against Brisbane’s Neroli and Scott Pullen battles Sista P. In the second room, a special outdoor marquee is being erected outside of The Forum where musical legends like Stephen Allkins (Love Tattoo) will join DJs Sveta, Beatrix and GI Jode to lay down funk, soul and disco beats as a fun musical alternative to The Forum.

In continuing the tradition of firsts that both parties are known for, Get Together will be a unique festival-style party, running from 6pm to 2am on Saturday June 9 of the Queen’s Birthday Long Weekend taking in multiple zones, indoor and outdoor, and musical styles.

Following in the well-worn footsteps of Hand-in-Hand and Super Fag Tag last year, Get Together will be a fundraiser for the AIDS Council of NSW (ACON).
