What can the lucky hornbags, foxymorons and hunks of spunk expect from the night?

We’re inviting the Kath & Kim fans of Sydney to come together in celebration of the TV show we all know, love and quote daily. Cancel all your dates (even sticky dates) on Straya Day Eve because with the ‘effluent’ crowd at this event you might find your very own purveyor of fine meats. There’ll be life-sized Kath and Kim cutouts, Kath and Kim face masks and Kath and Kim Snapchat geofilters on the night. Come in if you’re good-looking! If you loik what you soi, tickets are only $10 via Moshtix.

Who’s providing the soundtrack?

Kritty will be curating Kath & Kim’s Party Tape in the front room. She’s a Hudson Ballroom regular and really knows her way around a bottle of Baileys. Kritty will be playing a foxy mix of songs from the Kath & Kim TV show, Aussie pop and party classics. Melbourne DJ Tranter will be providing your shape-cutting soundtrack to the Aussie club classics rave in the back room. Get ready to rave all night with a retrospective of the best dance music to come out of Oz, covering all the best Aussie club releases from ’90s rave to ’00s indie dance, early ’00s house, late ’00s electro and Australian sound.

Will dress-ups be encouraged?

We’re hoping for as many hornbags as possible! Our outfit inspiration is mutton dressed as lamb, midriff tops, muffin tops, lycra, fashion victims, netball skirts, yummy mummys… The opportunities are endless! We’re giving away a $50 bar tab for best dressed on the night so show us your finest Dotti or Witchery ensembles.

We assume there’s chardonnay at the bar, right…?

There will be no chardonnay, just cardonnay (the ‘H’ is silent). We have an exclusive Kath & Kim Australiana-themed drinks menu for the evening including Australiana Bloody Marys with Vegemite and footy franks, BBQ Shapes margaritas, Tia Maria espresso martinis, pavlova shots, lamington shots, Baileys and Vodka Passionas.

If Kath and Kim each had one banging song to sum up their life, what would it be?

Kath’s life could be summed up by Mousse T’s ‘Horny’. It’s nice, it’s different, it’s unusual; it would be a great track for Kath to listen to while working on keeping herself trim or getting cracking on her important projects. Kim is more of a Black Eyed Peas ‘My Humps’ kind of girl. She’s not a housewife, she’s a hornbag; she’s the life of the party and wants to shake her Jessica Simpson (or Homer…?) bod for all of the hunk of spunks to see. Both of these bangers will be getting a rinse on Australia Day Eve at Hudson Ballroom!
