Carwash Is Moving

BACK INTO LONDON'S WEST END.
THE UK’s LONGEST RUNNING CLUB NIGHT COMES HOME

The glitz, glamour, sparkle and downright fabulousness of Carwash – the UK’s longest running and most spectacular weekly club night – is returning to its rightful home in the heart of London’s West End.

Combining the decadence of the 70’s and street cool of the 80’s with the spirit of pure escapism, Carwash will be the perfect tonic for these troubling times.

After seven years across town, the capital’s most fabulous party is taking residency in Centro (formally AKA Bar) from March 5, 2011, in W1 where it belongs. Carwash are also ecstatic to be able to announce that the opening night’s very special guest will be house diva and nu disco sensation Shèna. The voice behind Chart Topper ‘The Weekend’ and 14 other Top 40 hits including ‘Nothing I Won’t do’, ‘Dare Me’, ‘Guilty’ and ‘Watch out’, Shèna has one of dance music’s most sought after voices  ....

SHENA Live on Stage

... gracing tracks by the likes of The Freemasons and Eric Morillo.

Having also backed the cream of the funk soul pantheon including Chaka Khan, Amy Winehouse, Angie Stone, Luther Vandross and Mariah Carey, Shèna is now leading the nu-disco movement with disco stormers ‘Cant Stop The Rain’, ‘My Fantasy’ and ‘Nasty Little Rumour’, all of which will be performed on the night.

Her debut solo album, 2079 combines classic disco with current production styles and contemporary lyrical subject matter to form a fusion she calls 'Dizco’. Dizco takes the lush and funky production, fantastic song writing and dramatic vocal style of the late '70's and early '80's disco era and fuses it with elements of breaks, hip-hop, electro and disco-house to create a striking new sound. Using her life long passion for soul and disco music as inspiration, Shèna and her talented team of producers and musicians have created an album that
celebrates the ‘Good Times’ of a classic era but sits perfectly in the present age.

Here's what the press say about Shena:
‘Genius – The closest approximation to the magic Chic created in the late 70’s’
– The Guardian
‘Superb’ – Steve Wright Radio 2
‘Legendary dance vocalist’ -
Scott Mills on his radio 1 show
‘The UK’s favourite club diva’
- Heat magazine
‘A rich, husky soul voice that dances octaves with ease’ - BBC Online
‘A set of tunes that could come direct from the turntables of a 70’s night’- Sunday Times
‘Smoking hot’ - Attitude magazine
‘A star in the making’ Jocelyn Brown
‘Absolutely love it! Beautifully classy production and Shèna looks and sounds amazing…Breath of fresh
air!’ – James Wiltshire of The Freemasons.
