Knox Street Bar (-33.884956, 151.195964)
Aretha Franklin. John Farnham. Dusty Springfield. Shannon Noll. These pioneers of music all have one thing in common: killer backing vocals. Backseat Diamond is the story of Mary, a backing singer who may have taken the word "killer" one step too far. Part love-story, part whodunnit and part rock concert, all set to the best motown and rock songs of the last century. With a rockin' set list (Ain’t No Mountain High Enough, Son of a Preacher Man, You're The Voice and more), this hysterical and outrageous evening is “anchored by a leading lady with talent to spare whose criminal intent is easy to cheer for" (The West Australian). So let your hair down and don’t miss this hilarious musical comedy filled with your favourite Motown and 80s Australian Rock songs that will have you dancing the night away!
