Live Review: Client Liaison, Total Giovanni, Muki

With a line-up like Muki, Total Giovanni and Client Liaison (feat triple j's Tom Tilley) there was one thing on everyone's mind last night: party time. Adorned in matching Adidas tracksuits and sequined headdresses, the lads of Total Giovanni well and truly warmed up the audience with their sexually charged discotheque, while rising Sydney star Muki brought her own intriguing brand of soda pop to the party.

When Client Liaison took their spotlit position on stage it was clear they were ready to get down to business. Standing with hands firmly on hips and wearing outrageously patterned suits, the '80s-inspired synth pop act kicked off their A Foreign Affair world tour show with a literal bang (pyro cannons) and the conviction and flamboyance that has won them fans world over.

The stage was suitably dressed as an '80s office; complete with a PC, desk lamp, fern plants and illuminated water coolers. Genius. The crowd lapped up the outrageous dance choreography, costume changes and cheesy guitar solos that are no strangers to a Client Liaison production.

Set opener End Of The Earth was an ode to Australiana, which took a detour through a sample of Pink Floyd's Another Brick In The Wall before culminating with frontman Monte Morgan playing the didgeridoo. When the dance troupe arrived for Feed The Rhythm, the moshpit turned into a nightclub, with fists pumping, lights beaming and glorious shapes being thrown all over the dancefloor. Before long a whole load of Foster's Classic Lager tinnies were being handed out to the lucky punters in the front row, while '80s-like advertisements looped on screen and Client Liaison covered Stardust's Music Sounds Better With You.

To everyone's disappointment, Tina Arena did not join the Melbourne duo for their latest collab track A Foreign Affair, but the boys did flaunt some pretty dashing glittery robes for the number. The crowd went absolutely berserk when confetti cannons let off a rainbow explosion within the Enmore Theatre for fan-favourite and supposedly last song World Of Our Love.

For the inevitable, and very well-rehearsed encore, Client Liaison topped off a stellar performance with Canberra Won't Be Calling Tonight and Off White Limousine from their debut LP Diplomatic Immunity, complete with another impeccably styled costume change and epic choreography of course, plus a sneak preview of some promising new tunes.

The concert ended there, but the party certainly didn't, with Client Liaison inviting fans to join them at the official after party at Marly Bar.
