Even for a Friday night in Brisbane’s party precinct Fortitude Valley, it's a little strange to see so many revelers dressed in their shiniest, most flamboyantly patterned wardrobe options.

A small army of university students and young adults have filled The Tivoli to seemingly over-capacity by the time we arrive, as we climb through clusters of glitter queens to get any kind of service at the bar. Clutching our drinks close to our chests, we weave and politely push to a reasonable position in the mosh just as the lights darken and the curtains rise. The only light sources are a glitching LED screen and two giant office water coolers either side of a retro office desk, which is littered with DJ equipment and percussion pads.

The crowd gives frontman Monte Morgan and producer Harvey Miller AO — together, Client Liaison — a heroes' welcome as they race onstage sporting beige akubras and the most Australian suits ever stitched, featuring our country’s coat of arms and various flora and fauna.

A laughing kookaburra sample introduces Canberra Won’t Be Calling Tonight and, even though we’re packed in like sardines, everyone finds the space to start grooving. Backed by footage of former prime ministers Bob Hawke and John Howard on the screen, Morgan quickly goes about covering every inch of the stage as we sing along to their first of many satirical dance anthems based on their hypothetical business and diplomatic efforts under the guise of furthering Australia’s national interests.

Client Liaison Pty Ltd’s bassist, triple j Hack heartthrob Tom Tilley, and guitarist, Geordie Miller (brother of Harvey), join the company directors onstage for the upbeat '80s funk-synth banger Where Do We Belong. Shapes are being thrown in every direction as strobe lights and graphics of passports flash in time with Miller’s booming beats, while Morgan stylishly tosses his microphone in the air in-between verses.

Even though they’re touring the nation in support of their 2016 debut album, Diplomatic Immunity, older tracks Pretty Lovers and Feeling are met with plenty of whistling. The absorbing synthesiser-led soundscapes evoke a euphoric rave, and feature charmingly short, and very funky, solos by Tilley and guitarist Miller.

Surely one of the most charismatic vocalists in Australia right now, Morgan ensures there’s never a dull moment with his combination of daggy and sultry dancing. His arsenal of moves ranges from finger-guns and acrobatic jumps to rainbow hands and humbling signalling to the heavens. Taking a short breather, Morgan addresses the adoring crowd, “What a party — Brisbane, you know how to get hot!” before some very '80s synthesiser tones open into Hotel Stay.

The ravers nearby attempt to mimic Morgan’s sassy finger gestures, but the hilarious infomercial for a hypothetical holiday resort playing on the screen is more interesting. However, Morgan regains focus as he holds an impressive falsetto, before guitarist Miller lights a firecracker on his guitar and rips a thoroughly entertaining solo. As such, we give the quartet a rapturous applause after the song’s final ringing synthesiser chord.

After we calm down, Miller takes a quick call from the ATO relating to Client Liaison’s possible fraudulent activities — just in case we forgot two international businessmen and their funky associates are the four stars on stage. Another throbbing synth bass line leads into Feel The Rhythm, which again evokes a frenzied rave led by the non-stop moves of Morgan and his synchronised choreography with Tilley and guitarist Miller.

The arrangement of percussion pads among a pre-2000s computer monitor and retro office equipment finally receives a workout with a smashing Miller solo. Not ready to give back the limelight to Morgan, Miller then delivers an incredible rap in Do It My Way while simultaneously busting out a very convincing ‘robot’. After a quick costume change into some seriously dazzling and chunky gold necklaces, Morgan then conducts The Tivoli through a sing-along of Wild Life.

Finally addressing the very stylish (off-) white elephant in the room, Morgan asks, “Any of you happen to see an off-white limousine out front? I think we can fit some of you in it when we head for the after-party — we call it the people’s limo”. The inevitable funky guitar opening of Off White Limousine sparks plenty of grooving in the crowd, but again the LED screen steals attention as a very tacky infomercial for Client Liaison’s luxury Mercedes taxi service plays among retro 2D graphics of a utopian cityscape.

The ‘international in flavour, cosmopolitan in style’ dance quartet fittingly finish their triumphant encore with World Of Our Love. Nobody in The Tivoli is stationary as we move in time with the pulsating soundscape, and marvel at more firecrackers and a variety of aquatic animals that swim across the screen.

For a couple of years now, Client Liaison have worked hard to forge both an image and a sound that’s unlike any other musical group in the southern hemisphere. Even though their music purposely sounds dated, it’s impossible to not be captivated by their stage show and pastel Australiana costumes. To quote Client Liaison Pty Ltd, "Put it on the company card. Too much is never enough. Think nothing. Feel everything. Pleasure is good. Fantasy is truth. Experience Client Liaison."
