A special shout-out does need to go to Joe Lindsay on the trombone, who did an amazing Miley Cyrus impersonation, ‘twerking’ his way around the stage non-stop and stripping down from his snug white suit to appear virtually naked by the end of the show!

The entire crowd joined in with a chorus of “eh, eh, oh, eh, oh”s with Smith shooting a cheeky grin to keyboard player Kyle Simmons; it was clear that the guys were moved by how involved the audience were.

With his ‘90s porn star moustache, trademark curly hair and headband and retro ‘80s hipster fashion sense, frontman Darwin Smith truly is the embodiment of a pop/rock star.

Larger than life comedy legend Chris Tucker had fans in stitches last night in his long-awaited, first stand-up tour of Australia.

With the entire crowd up, dancing and eating out of the palm of their hands, they ended their set with Early Warning, before returning to the stage and treating the crowd to an encore finally closing the show with Ain’t Gonna Get.

As a whole, director Laurence Connor has done remarkably well bringing this arena spectacular to the 21st century performed by an odd, but excellent cast of very talented musicians. Definitely a must see.

Although Pete Hume was pulling out some seriously white boy dance moves for a large part of the gig and their guitarist had what seemed to be his own personal wind machine blowing through his hair, it all just added to the overall vibe.
