Embrace the music this 2021 with award winning local and international artists playing at the Coolangatta Hotel.
Here are 5 upcoming gigs at the Cooly Hotel you do not want to miss.
1. The Beautiful Girls
The Beautiful Girls are playing on Friday 26 March 2021 at the Coolangatta Hotel.
An Australian rock group showcasing a vibrant range of styles, touching in folk, reggae and pop, you’ll find that roots music lies in the heart of The Beautiful Girls’ group’s sound. The draw of the beat combines heavy bass rhythms and elements of soul, jazz, dub, hip hop, and a bunch of lightning bolts.
Led by frontman Mat McHugh as the voice and lead guitarist, The Beautiful Girls features Mitch Connelly on the drums, Clay MacDonald on the bass, xylophone and recorder.
An unconventional name that was born from the desire to fight against stereotypes, The Beautiful Girls have seen worldwide success on tour promoting their studio debut “Learn Yourself”, released in September 2003, in the United States, Canada and Japan.
The move toward a more dance oriented and hip hop influence came upon the release of their EP “Weight of the World”, which saw a tour of Australia. This led to a second studio album “We’re Already Gone”, which reached No.19 on the ARIA Albums Chart.
After disbanding in 2007, the band came back together in 2010 and released their 4th studio album “Spooks”, which reached No.1 on the Australian Independent Chart, No.7 on the Billboard Reggae Albums Chart, and No.18 on the ARIA Albums Chart.
So if you’re into creative rock music that touches upon different sounds and influences, grab your tickets at Oztix before they’re gone.

4. Icons & Legends (A Tribute to Eddie Van Halen)
A true legendary icon that holds high esteem, respect and a legacy worth recognising, Eddie Van Halen was a guitarist who shaped generations with a unique exploration into the world of guitar skills.
In tribute to Eddie Van Halen, who passed away on 6 October 2020, the Frankies World Famous House Band from Sydney’s rock institution – Frankies Pizza, will be showcasing a Van Halen show featuring the genius of his work.
The band comprises of Joel McDonald (one of Australia’s most in demand guitarists), Bobby Poulton (from Wolfmother), Jordan McDonald (from The Art, Mi-Sex), and guest vocalists including Simon Hill, Frank Lakoudis and Spencer Jones.
Promising a show filled with pure intensity that will energise the crowd, this world class performance in tribute to the legend is worthy of making Eddie Van Halen proud.
