The Florida Beach Bar at Terrigal has always been one of the hottest nightspots on the Central Coast, but it’s set to become even more sizzling with the launch of Sounds Like nights. Safia, Boo Seeka, and Surfdisco will headline the first of these indie-electronic club nights. Local DJs Steve Pike, Blake Richardson, and Kahl Page will warm up the crowds.
Sounds Like #1 will take over Terrigal’s Florida Beach Bar on December 4 from 6 pm until late. Tickets cost just $20, or $40 for VIP, and are available now from Oztix.
I’ve long been fascinated with the Amish, so I was thrilled to see Safia’s looked to this religious sect to inspire their new clip for “Embracing Me.” It tells the story of the star-crossed relationship of two ridiculously good-looking Amish folk beautifully, and the song’s not bad either just quietly. Look out for the Canberra trip amongst the clip’s cast.
Safia are currently promoting “Embracing Me” with shows all around the country which are selling out at a great rate of knots. These will be Safia’s last shows for the year, and looking at the number of sold out dates they’re bound to be big.

Safia are hitting the road to celebrate the release of their stunning new single “You Are The One.”
This is one of the most emotional electronic numbers I’ve heard in some time. I’m all for a song that gets you on the dance floor, but when you find a song that gets you grooving and really moves you it’s something special.
If you love it too, then make sure you check Safia out on the single launch tour, which kicks off in Queensland tonight!

Canberra-based electro-pop act SAFIA show us how the genre should be done with their latest single “Paranoia, Ghosts & Other Sounds.” I’m not sure I’ve heard anything quite like this song. It’s got such a great groove and otherworldly vocals from frontman Benjamin Joseph.
SAFIA were all set to support Lorde until the Kiwi songstress postponed her tour. Happily though, fans can still see them in the flesh when they launch the single with the following headline shows. Tickets are available through their website for the following shows.
