From the big blue façade to the cosy lounges and free foosball tables inside, theres no venue like it in Adelaide.
Jive exudes a chilled out lounge vibe as Local, national and international live acts all rock up the nights at this former theatre. The original design features of the venue make it an acoustic gem.
Jives big blue building knows a thing or two about reinvention, and about possessing a colourful, whirling history. This place was once a theatre and later became the legendary Toucan nightclub in the 70s. It then underwent two decades of bewildering changes: reborn as a bar, nightclub, risqué strip joint, and a comedy club. Today, Jive is a live music venue for local, national and international acts. Its original theatre design elements give it a huge advantage over many other band performance venues; making the space an acoustic winner with plenty of character. The stage stands before the sunken dance floor, so drinkers can have clear sight lines from the bar level. For a different perspective, head to the upper level and check out the stage action from the balcony.
The bar is well stocked and much effort has gone into making sure the range of wines and spirits is high in quantity, rich in quality.
The décor, staff and music make Jive a truly welcoming, cosy and entertaining night out!
The boys from NovaCaine wish to thank everyone for a successful kick-start to their reunion shows & will continue with the madness @ the Joiners Arms Hindmarsh on the 28th November with special guests Underbelly & Brail. You can also catch them returning to the stage to support long time friends The Loving Tongue @ Enigma on December 12th as part of the Tongues new CD launch for
Sat Dec 5th will be one very big night indeed, when we return to Jive, with special guests Colonel Kernel and Aphelion. Check out this footage from our last show at Jive in August: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-OreW9Rlj8
