About
Discology is a disco band for hire in Melbourne, VIC.
Discology is a show rather than a straight covers set. Two or three singers and four musicians work through the disco years from the funky early 70s to the electronic pop of the early 80s, with footage running on a big screen and spoken stories about what life actually looked like back then. The songs come as medleys, the best sections stitched into long chapters: Superstition, Kung Fu Fighting, Lady Marmalade, Play That Funky Music, Night Fever, Stayin' Alive, Disco Inferno, I Feel Love, September, Boogie Wonderland. It runs 135 minutes with a 20 minute break. Screen and projector are supplied, and the PA can be too.

The show
This is a show, not a covers set. Live music runs alongside spoken stories about what life actually looked like in the 70s, with footage playing on a big screen behind the band, and the three together pull an audience back into the period rather than just reminding them of it. The journey starts in the funky early 70s and works forward into the electronic pop that followed, through Donna Summer, Saturday Night Fever, Earth Wind & Fire, Michael Jackson and the rest of the names that built the sound. Audiences want to be surprised, and that's what the format is for.
On the day
The screen and the special projector are central to the show and both are supplied. A PA can come with them too if you ask for it. What you need to provide is a stage big enough for two or three singers plus four musicians to work on comfortably.
Performance options
The whole thing comes as one show, booked in one go. Two conditions shape it. The venue needs to be within a sensible drive of Melbourne, and it needs a PA good enough to carry seven performers plus the screen audio. Where the room already has that, the show slots straight in. If it doesn't, the PA can come from them instead, so say what the space has when you enquire. Screen and projector are always included.
