ANGEL'S HOT SPOTS - WEEK 2

Hey All
Check out Angel's HOT SPOTS this week.
Some new hot spots and some oldies....
Anything you need to know, about the night - just leave a comment and I'll find the answer... :)

HOT SPOT 1
THURSDAY - SWAG at Trademark Hotel - 1 Bayswater Road KINGS CROSS

Yes SWAG again! 

Mainly because....I just luurrrrvvvvveeee the themes that Ian and Ally Reid & their team at ME ENTERTAINMENT come up with for all of their events.

They are so ORIGINAL...I'm telling ya they are leading the game with these awesome ideas!

Get your "SUPER SWAG" on this Thursday and every Thursday at this HOT SPOT!

DOOR CHARGE: $20

DRESS CODE: SWAG (No thongs)

HOT SPOT 2
FRIDAY - LOVE GUN FRIDAYS - IVY CHANGEROOM - Level 3, IVY, 320 George Street SYDNEY
Ok so you guys know I'm a dancing queen and love to "shake my tail feather" as often as possible... weeeelllll I am quite excited I have found a great spot to do it on a Friday night! 

At Love Gun Fridays you will hear an eclectic mix of hip hop and rock & roll spun by one of the most eccentric characters in the business, Tina Turntables. The night kicks off from 9pm and kicks on until the wee small hours, with Tina keeping the dance floor packed throughout. 

(I stole that from their website, because it's too hard to contact someone at Merivale and there is no event flyer because I was told by one of the girls that answered the phone; "we are not authorised to send our flyers out" - I mean seriously, honestly...).

But basically they have a few different DJ's that play a good mix of music, which you can dance too.  Tina Turntables (is a guy by the way & don't you just love that name) IS great, but sometimes finds it hard to gently mix music from the different genres together... So you might hear the occasional "Ohhh" coming from the crowd when he gets it wrong!

The other female DJ's are good too, one of them drops the best old skool HIP HOP tracks that take you back to the days of "Chocolate City or EP1".... She smiles showing her age... ;) 

My only other issue with this spot is the "air" (or lack of it) I think Merivale are trying to save on their air conditioning bill so this room remains as hot as a MUTHA......and gets hotter as you build up a sweat and the dance floor gets busier.

If you don't mind getting hot and sweaty on a Friday night on the dance floor and want to hear some great old & new underground hip hop tracks infused with rock classics...then walk through the curtain that separates the "IVY Change Rooms" from the dance floor and get your groove on!

DOOR CHARGE: $20 (FREE before 8, if they let you in) 

DRESS CODE: Dress up its IVY on a FRIDAY night 

HOT SPOT 3
SATURDAY - J BOOG & Million Stylez Live at THE METRO THEATRE - 624 George Street SYDNEY 

The girls from SAEA BANYANA will be supporting JBOOG this Saturday night at The METRO!

If the SAEA girls are there you know it is going to be a great show!

J Boog is the guy behind the hit songs "Let's Do it Again" & "So Far Gone".

If you like Island or reggae music then this is the spot to be at this Saturday night!

This show is brought to you by DJ Nick Toth & Jamrock.

You can read all about him in my DJ in FOCUS section.

DRESS CODE: Smart Casual 

HOT SPOT 4
SUNDAY - CARL ALLEY  Presents Old School R & B & Funk at PJ's Irish Pub Parramatta - 74 Church Street PARRAMATTA

My final pick of the week is a new hot spot in Sydney to chill out at on a Sunday afternoon.

Sunday at PJ's is a weekly matinee event from 3:00pm featuring a mix of great DJ's and live bands playing the best old school music in a relaxed space, both indoors and out. 

PJ's located in the heart of Parramatta has remained a popular venue for tasty meals, get-togethers and functions, offering good value food and drink.

3 NEW SEGMENTS

Beautiful People


I have decided to add 3 new segments to my blog! 


Since I am great supporter of everything local including - Local Artists, Local business, Local people doing it big, I will be publishing the following 3 new segments on a weekly or fortnightly basis which will showcase all the amazing people in Sydney or AUS who are doing big & great things in our city or in this world:


"Angels Hotspots" - This segment consists of local clubs, bars, restaurants or quality events, concerts or festivals to head to every week in Sydney.


"DJ in Focus" - Our local DJ's need recognition for the great job they do bringing us GREAT music.  Each week I will profile a DJ starting with all my friends in the URBAN music scene in Sydney.


"Aussie Aussie Aussie" - It amazes me how many "Aussies" are making international news be it online or on the box. Each fortnight I will profile a local Aussie, making a name for themselves, both in AUS and on an international scale.


For now these segments will just form part of the blog, but in the next couple of weeks I will be re-vamping "The Secret Life of Angel", for easier viewing pleasure... ;))


I hope you are enjoying this journey as much as I am!


Angels can fly high, because they take themselves lightly!

HOT SPOT 2
CHERRY BAR at THE STAR CASINO - 80 Pyrmont Street PYRMONT

FRIDAY 20th Jan 
Sweet like CHERRY 

Fancy a Cocktail or 3? Then head on over to Cherry Bar! Hands down this is the new HOT SPOT in Sydney to enjoy a GOOD cocktail.  

Located in the Sydney's new re-furbished STAR, Cherry Bar is it's best kept secret!

When you walk into Cherry you will be greeted by some very beautiful girls dressed in silky grey numbers, there to welcome & conversate with you and to happily take your order.

Vegas style baby - with class!

The cocktail menu is uniquely exquisite and I like the fact the menu has these cute sayings strategically placed through it. 

The bar staff at Cherry are PROFESSIONAL on another level.  They all specialise in the art of cocktail making and excel in the area of "customer service".   You will feel  very special in this place, especially if you situate yourself around the top shelf marble bar.

Look out for Dominic, flair specialist extraordinaire, you will be amazed at how skillfull this cat is.

The DJ's supplied by Ministry of Sound release smooth sounds through the high tech sound system all night long!

Cherry is a great place to start your night or to chill out with cocktails and friends.

HOT SPOT 3
HOUSESOLUTION - Zeta Bar, The Hilton Hotel, George Street SYDNEY

SATURDAY 21st Jan 
Tribal Dance Solution

If you feel like SHAKING your "CULO" in a classy environment then head on over to at Zeta Bar at the Hilton.

I love the fact that when you catch the lift up you walk straight in onto the dance floor.

The DJ Antonio Zambarelli plays the best mix - and I do mean "best mix" because you don't even realise the next song has started until your hear the chorus or until your body changes rhythm - of soulful house and tribal beats so be prepared to sweat it out on the dance floor.

Check out my previous blog below for more info on HOUSESOLUTION at Zeta.

You can catch me there most Saturday nights! :) 

RIB and Antonio have kept the party going at Zeta bar since 2005 and they are still going strong 7 years on.

When you arrive just look for RiB at the front door between 9.30pm -12.30am, he is the tall dark guy with the stylish outfit on - you can't miss him!
