COLOURFIDE / OCEANICS Hard Rock Café - Saturday Nov 13

There is a vibrant energy that fills Hard Rock Café, as local Gold Coast band, and support act for tonight, Oceanics, enter the stage. Opening with a roots/folk style introduction, that contrasts well with their pop-rock standards. With catchy hook-lines and captivating melodies their appreciative audience is dancing energetically throughout their set.
Applause erupts as Gold Coast’s very own Colourfide, introduces their set, which soon reveals to be a mix of roots and reggae with a distinctive rock edge. Their rare on stage chemistry and passion is complimented by the unique style each of their wide assortment of instruments (from electric guitar, to bongos, to trumpet) creates. With bass and drum working together to craft a Cat Empire-esque funk beat, the audience dances sporadically in sync with the vibe. The sweat-filled celebration continues throughout the entirety of the set, but as Colourfide’s encore comes to a dramatic end, each member of the band smashing out every note theatrically, drinks are spilt and balance is lost as the audience breaks into their final fits of erratic dancing.
