SATURDAY - 24 FEBRUARY 2007 - ST JAMES
 
 

  42 BELOW VODKA and GEORGE FM are proud to present Auckland's 2007 HERO PARTY. Now in its 17th year, the infamous HERO Party is NZ's ultimate polysexual dance extravaganza ... gay, straight, bi, undecided ... who cares ... it's an excuse for a party and what a fantastic party it is!

This annual pride event is always one of the most festive and colourful nights of the year - it’s also your chance to swish sequin-covered hips and backward leather chaps across multiple dance zones, featuring shimmering lasers, international DJs and stunning big-room shows!

We don’t care if you come as the indian, the biker, the construction worker, or just as you are. But make sure you join our extended rainbow family on Saturday Feb 24th for one massive night of heroic colour and pride!

The HERO Party. St James (312 Queen Street, Auckland). Saturday, February 24th, 2007.
Something for everyone!
 

 
 
HOT BOYS - SEXY GIRLS
 
  Hot London DJ's Paul Heron & Jamie Head team up with Melbourne super-stud Scott Anderson to raise the roof at this year's HERO Party. So don't miss out!



Paul & Jamie have performed at some of London's most popular clubs - like Crash, Beyond, Area and Orange - and, after rave reviews, they're returning to HERO with their own flavour of "fierce, funked-up underground London house."

Scott Anderson also has an impressive resume having played at numerous big-name Aussie dance parties including Beyond, Rawhide, Red Raw and Mardi Gras. This is Scott’s first visit NZ, so come hear his music for yourself and if you’re lucky, get to meet the man in person!
  This year's HERO Party also features something specially for the girls - a women's Flirt zone featuring local stars Danielle Greer & Dee along with Melbourne import Miss Eleni.

Miss Eleni got her first break at Melbourne's Sunday night institution "Candybar" and has since earned a reputation for quality and versatile house music. Recent appearances have included the Spring Migration Festival, Winterdaze, Omega VIP parties and the 2007 Midsumma Opening Party. Expect a funky, 3 hour, uplifting vocal house set with tough pumping basslines and some surprise twists and turns!



The Flirt Police will also be on hand to help you meet that special someone.
 
 
HEROIC SHOWS - TRANSPACE
 
  Don't miss out on HERO's massive shows either! There are two fabulous performances this year featuring Taane Mete & Taiaora Royal (of Black Grace fame) (returning for their first HERO stage appearance in over 5 years), along with the ever-popular Mika.



Taane & Taiaora, two of NZ's top dancers, bring together a stunning cast for "Mercury". So buckle down and enjoy the ride as Kornisha & an amazing troupe of dancers arrest the stage with heat, leaps, power & sweat! This show also features costumes by Lindah Le Pou and visuals by Wonderland Productions.

Not to be outdone, Mika has collected what he describes as a "very s-t-y-l-y crew" for "the Party of all Parties on NZ's social calendar". With music by Concorde Dawn's Evan Short, choreography by Taupuhi Toki, film by lesbian film maker Paea Kelvery & a one-off by NZ's most distinguished Haute Couture designer Patrick Steele, Mika's "Beautiful People" show is certainly classified: "must-see"!
  If a crowed dance floor is not really your thing, then check out TranSpace. This brand new area is for all Transexuals, Transgender, Fa'afafine, Takataapui, family and friends. So come and celebrate a beautiful night of talented sisters.

Sexy. Glam. Funky and Fun. TranSpace features live vocalists Ramon, Lindah and Cindy of Samoa, along with performances by Misty Blue, Chanel (Te Aroha) and Raphael.



This space also features the "oh-so-very-glam" Wanda Lamoure spinning her own special mix of Retro Dance, Hip Hop and R 'n B tunes between shows.
