Bio

Formed in late 2018 after having a crack at different genres of music, the draw of making music to dance to, led the Club Classic chaps to producing 70’s Funk, Soul and Disco inspired tunes to get your foot tapping, fingers drumming and head nodding.

Based in Wellington, the initial four piece of Liam - Drums, Cameron - Bass, Eddie - Guitar and Joe - Vocals and Keys, released Get Out Your Funk to the world. Followed quickly by The Vibe which consolidated their approach to dancey tunes, and gave a cool platform for Joe to express himself on stage. With live shows at Meow towards the end of 2019 things were looking good for the band…

Covid took the wind out of their sails a little but once they could meet together again mid-2020 they took off with gusto inventing Richie Whiskey. Richie is your true “man about town” drinking, dancing, enjoying the Club life. The four piece expanded to five with the addition of Troy on Keys, thus allowing Joe to focus on singing and working with the audience, making sure they all enjoyed the excellent Club Classic atmosphere.

Lockdowns and movement restrictions had meant no gigs and reduced practice sessions, so when Club Classic got the opportunity to play live in Spring 2020 they took Meow by storm. A magnificent set, with a stomping Richie Whiskey with audience participation, allowed Club Classic to reintroduce Wellington to the Dance/Funk they had been missing.

Now in 2021 with their first EP being released to the world, two music videos and a tour around Aotearoa in Spring, the band are looking to take New Zealand to danceville.
