Rock Aerobics is a dance fitness class for rock music lovers, hosted every Thursday night at Yah Yah’s. Don’t usually go to a gym? Aren’t really into dance music or Top 40? Well Rock Aerobics is for you. Here we pogo, skank, do the Mick Jagger walk, we air guitar and just jump around to songs from folk like ACDC and Iggy Pop. Come along on the night, no bookings are required. But remember to wear sneakers, and bring a towel!

GRAND ATLANTIC
THE DESERTERS
THE CONTROLS
Grand Atlantic, Brisbane’s favourite power-pop band, bring their national tour and new album “How We Survive” to Yah Yah’s this weekend. The album is already being hailed as one of the rock records of the year, with first single “She’s A Dreamer” featuring heavily on JJJ and good radio stations around Australia. Their 2007 debut album got them attention worldwide; the new album is a perfect distillation of Grand Atlantic’s undoubted pop nous, and places them at the forefront of the new pop revolution. Grand Atlantic combine smart, immediate melodies with a hard-hitting rhythm section to produce an instantly appealing modern pop-rock sound. Live, they’re an unstoppable force, and tonight they’ll be joined by recent Popboomerang Records signings The Deserters, and The Controls.
