Sophie Ellis Bextor

Overview

While not an official Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras event it is no coincidence that camp icon Sophie Ellis Bextor will be performing a one-off headline show at Max Watt’s smackbang in the middle of gay Christmas. Read my lips: there will be murder on the dance floor but you better not kill the groove or else Ellis Bextor is gonna burn this goddamn house right down.

Now that her 2001 classic is playing in your head, let’s take a moment to consider if any other early-2000s song provided more potential for shimmying, sashaying, and general booty shaking than this? The answer: absolutely not. So we know, we know, we know, that there may be other events that you want to go to but don’t miss this and, most importantly, do not kill the groove.
