11/04/14: Dalston Superstore shoved hot spice up our fannies to get us groovin’ at their tailgate party for the Fringe Film Festival with their Spice World sing-along parody featuring some of the hottest DJs and spiciest trannies, such as the incomparable Jacqui Potato as Posh Spice.
From the basement to the top of the upstairs bar, not a square inch of space was left untainted by the massive crush of fanny-friendly crowds filling two floors and out the door!
DJs Neil Prince and RUFUS and Bambi led the night on the ground floor with familiar 90s dance-pop and retro grooves re-styled for the funkier folk. As the night grew heavier and more of the teeming throngs poured in from the Hackney Empire, the music revealed decidedly cooler flavours of fun from Kotsakis, Holestar and none other than her majesty the Duchess of Pork (oink oink)! If only the real Spice Girls had been this talented, we might still give a monkey’s.
In the laser basement, darker, harder funkhouse grooves thumped out in time with the laser beams shining off our greased-up glitter and flashing on the glam in the dark. We humped and grumped our way through the sexy sea only to be snatched up by one Spicey “lady”(I think it was Mel B or C — I couldn’t tell) who demanded: “Which Spice Girl are you?!”
“Peaches!”
