Partygoers have consistently been flocking to Fibre for the past 24 years and it shows no sign of slowing. Its enduring appeal alongside regularly featuring local talent, they bridge the gap between the more traditional LGBTQ+ bars in the area and straight venues (where not everyone is always actively made to feel welcome).

Last year, after 23 years of legendary parties, the Fibre crew made the decision to launch their in-house record label Fibre Records with one clear mission – “To release dance floor filling tracks that embody the unique and captivating sound experienced week after week at Fibre”. A mission So Sweet EP most certainly has achieved. Already finding favor with the world’s leading DJ’s.

CHKLZ is making waves with an explosive lineup of shows in 2024. Their vibrant performances are more than concerts—they’re full-blown celebrations of community and joy.

At every event, fans, affectionately known as ‘Doggies,’ come together, creating an atmosphere that feels like a big family gathering. The highlight of their setlist, the crowd-pleasing “White Wine Spritzer,” never fails to get everyone dancing. This track, a high-energy anthem, captures the essence of CHKLZ’s infectious sound.

The genesis of CHKLZ is as heartwarming as their music. Their name was inspired by a small, white dog named Charlie, found on a sweltering Fourth of July in Phoenix. Rescued from under a truck, Charlie, or “Chuckles” as he was fondly called, became a symbol of the group’s ethos: inclusivity, resilience, and joy.

This spirit shines through in their music, which combines intricate rhythms with live effects, creating a sound that’s both innovative and engaging.
