‘Easy Tiger’ (aka. Claire Elliott and Katie Hansen) were released into the wild last week playing their first event as a duo.

The place to be was Platform 28 in the Docklands.

In a star studded launch party, Easy Tiger blended beautifully with singer – Katherine Tanner, saxophonist – Austin Ley and percussionists – Toby Bender and Nic Noble to light up the dance floor until the early hours of the morning.

The highlight of the set was Easy Tiger and Katherine Tanner combining to perform ‘Good Feeling’ by Flo Rider which went crazy!

Easy Tiger played a stylish mix of remixed 80’s and 90’s classics and the latest commercial dance.  The dance floor was pumping their entire set!

Support DJ’s included Clinton Rocksmith (re-mixer to the stars) and Kiss FM’s own Scott Dods

Making waves through Melbourne’s music scene, Easy Tiger is the city’s hottest new DJ duo to hit the decks with fresh mixes, originality and glamour.

The team behind the packed dance floors, Katie and Claire, bring an original spin to 80s and 90s favorites whilst shying away from anything too cheesy or hard.

Throw in live percussion, sax, vinyl scratcher and or MC and together you have the perfect sound to get any party started.

The fierce pair’s ‘in your face, live by their own rules’ cheeky attitude leave crowds begging for more.

Easy Tiger brings a lethal cocktail of rock star edge, girly glam with a touch of tomboy thrown in for good measure. Priding themselves on knowing what the crowd wants, the girls make sure their beats deliver and their floors are shaking.

The party was at one of Top Dog’s newest (and coolest) venues – Platform 28 in the Docklands.

Playing retro and party classics (with their trademark cool edge of course), the girls received a great reaction from the crowd and are back playing at Platform 28 in February 2012!
