This Easter long weekend the boys are back, entertaining the crowd from the roadside centre-stage at the Airlie Beach Hotel in a special event which sees them perform each afternoon from Good Friday to Easter Sunday.
Back by popular demand, the Gee’d Up crew offer a performance like you have never seen before – with choregraphed dance routines, hilarious jokes and unique medleys to some of the most well-known tunes – the show is guaranteed to entertain.
Influenced by all genres of music and their New Zealand culture, there is nothing that the boys of Gee’d Up can’t cater for with vocal styles that transcends into a fusion of soul, funk, edge and class.
To celebrate this special time of year with a multicultural flair, the Gee’d Up boys mix their Maori, Kiwi, Samoan and Japanese roots with a Polynesian element.
For the first time ever, Gee’d Up have invited dynamic dance troupe Mr Mr to join them on stage – these Polynesian dancers bring an authentic dance routine and mix it with some surprising elements to create a unique twist to tradition.
Packed with laughs, fun and culture Mat Stokes from Gee’d up says that he is excited to bring some light relief to the stage - an opportunity for us all to forget about the challenges going on in the world.
“It’s a whole lot of laughs, fun and dancing,” he said.
“We want people to get out there, relax, laugh and have a dance if they want.”
From A cappella to beat box and base line to three-part harmonies – the band keep you guessing throughout the performance which is a non-stop rollercoaster ride where each song is a pre-mixed medley with no gaps in between.
“We love putting all these bangers together that people know,” said Mat.
“People don’t know what’s coming – we’re not like any other bands – the joke is always on us and the show is full of laughter because we have a go at each other live on stage.”
Gee’d Up will be performing Good Friday (April 15), Easter Saturday (April 16) and Easter Sunday (April 17) from 2pm – 5.30pm each day.
