The “80s Nightclub Reunion” is happening again in Hamilton on the 2nd of December at The Hamilton Hotel. The theme for this year is “A White Neon Night” so everyone is expected to wear outfits in ‘80s neon White colours. It will be a night of remembering the good times in Brisbane’s famous nightclubs of the ‘80s, such as Images, Transformers, Hot Gossip, The Underground, Tracks, Stratus, Manhattan, Wall Street, Café Neon, and Fridays among others.

The Dance Cages, Mirror Ball action, and Black Light are definitely back but the stars of the night are Brisbane nightclub DJs from the ‘80’s. DJs Parry James and Peter Tigani will be performing the best 80s club sounds in the main room of The Hamilton Hotel.
DJ Peter Tigani is currently busy with his fifth hair salon, but fans of the ‘80’s era would always remember him first as a DJ at Transformers, a nightclub which opened in 1988 coinciding with the World Expo. The place was famous for its unique vibe – a cross between a Mad Max Movie and a Michael Jackson film clip. It has remained, up until at present, to be the only nightclub to have a street in the middle of the place and a hairdressing salon built into the ladies’ toilet. The gourmet hot dog stand and a shooters’ bar with a dentist chair has also never been topped by any other nightclub in the city.

DJ Parry James was a well-known presence at some of the coolest nightclubs in Melbourne. He had worked alongside some of Australia’s popular 80’s bands, including Cold Chisel, Mental As Anything, The Models, Pseudo Echo, Hoodoo Gurus, Noiseworks, Dragon, and INXS. DJ Parry, however, was introduced to Brisbane’s club scene through the Stratus Nightclub, which was then the largest nightclub in the Southern Hemisphere.
