Stroll down memory lane
CDB is bringing all that 90’s boy group nostalgia back to The Reef Hotel Casino this weekend for two nights of the best R&B.
Prepare for two electrifying nights of classic boy band realness with one of Australia’s first R&B bands CDB who will take you down memory lane with some of their greatest hits like ‘Hook me up’ and ‘Let’s groove’ plus some classic 90s R&B covers from 90s icons like Boyz II Men and Montell Jordan tonight and tomorrow at BAR36.
Formed in Melbourne in 1991, CDB featuring Andrew De Silva, Brad Pinto, Gary Pinto and Danny Williams, toured the world and achieve certified platinum sales touring far and wide, sharing the stage with the likes of Boyz II Men, K-Ci & Jo-Jo, Desiree and Tina Arena now they’re back in Cairns celebrating 30 years of ‘Hook me up’ and taking FNQ fans on a trip down memory lane.
One quarter of CDB, Andrew De Silva, said Cairns should prepare for a nostalgic night full of boy band greatness.
“We have come to Cairns to party 90s style,” he said.
“Nowadays it’s all about the 90s, these shows are all about making people feel like they felt back in the 90s, there’s a vibe about the 90s and we want to bring it back to life, there’s so much respect for the music from the 90s because of the way it makes you feel, and R&B has that flavour that everybody loves.
“When we come to Cairns we’ll be doing all our hits and also throwing in a lot of 90s covers as well, back in 2017 we released an album with all of our 90s R&B covers from Boyz II Men, R. Kelly and more and that’s what we’ll bring, so for anyone who was listening to this music back then, they’re going to love it.”
Mr De Silva said he was looking forward to reuniting with the band to not only sing but dance to their biggest hits.
“I’m looking forward to performing ‘Hook me up’ our first single back when we were 19 years old and we still do the exact same dance moves, so we really take people back. It’s really high energy, fun and sweaty,” he said.
“One of our crowd favourites as well is Let’s Grove which is one of our biggest hits, every time we do that song it’s surprising the joy that this song still brings people, so it’s always fun to perform.”
Mr De Silva encouraged people to come and relive 90s R&B at BAR 36 this weekend for free.
