Welcome to the night of ”Tango Noir” the milonga held by Sidewalktango

Every First and Third Friday of the Month at the Tiki Lounge and Bar.

Non-Dancers as always very welcome to come and enjoy cocktails in the lounge area, and watch and listen whilst the dance floor is consumed in the thralls of traditional 1940s Buenos Aires style tango rhythm sounds and movement.

Starting 9.00pm and going through to late night….

An intimate and stylish venue, with an:

The milonga “Tango Noir” is an authentic milonga, a night of tango social dance…In our over busy lives, with no time for the imagination, and no time to give to ourselves or others, we have ” the milonga”. Tango is more than just a dance.

There is something deeper: a motionless, fathomless, dark ocean of time. A bittersweet nostalgia and awareness for the passing nature of all life and all things.

The “mythical, oft-mentioned, but indefinable experience of the tango embrace”….A heightened awareness of connection, and the special sense of a “secret inside”.

Resonating with rhythm, melody, artistry, subtlety and touch. Enrapturement in the encounter, the pleasure, humour, respect and poetry. An attraction, a passion, a curiosity, a pastime, a meditation, and deadly serious good fun…

”Tango Noir” at 327 Swan St Richmond.

Fully Licensed Venue.

Late night snacks available $5.00

”Tango Noir” Milonga:

Open level Class….. 8.00-9.00pm ($17 includes milonga)

Tommy Cooper says "get thee to a Fezzery!"

Pop on the hat with the tassel and come along for a night of mysterious fez-tivities and fez fun.

Sip on the delicious Desert Sand and Camel Hump cocktails and immerse yourself into a world of fez exotica.

8pm Friday 10th Fezbruary at Tiki Lounge and Bar, 327 Swan Street, Richmond.

For those looking for inspiration, what’s this?  Is that the entirety of the Laurel and Hardy Classic  ”Sons of the Desert” on YouTube?  Don’t mind if I do!!

For those not fortunate enough to own a fez of their own and looking for a source of fine, embroidered velvet Fezzes, might we recommend our favourite Fez Emporium, the one and only Fez-o-Rama?  Below are a couple of favourites from their range, but we highly recommend jumping on their site and browsing their wares.

In an age of dancing robots and the electric toothbrush, the Quarry Mountain Dead Rats are taking it back to a simpler time, where the pickin’ was fast and the banjo was king.

With fire in their bellies, these musical comrades hailing from Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula bring their raw and gritty version of bluegrass kicking and hollering into the modern day.

The influence of old-time mountain-music combined with rock‘n’roll sensibilities make the Quarry Mountain Dead Rats an act that make you sit up, take notice and come back for more.

Long live the Dead Rat.

This Saturday 15th from 9.00pm at the Tiki Lounge and Bar we will see and hear two entirely different incarnations of this remarkable family of bands: First up “Ben Rogers Trio” play Gypsy jazz, Swing and Blues featuring violin virtuoso Romana Geermans. Followed by the band that has carved a trail across the face of surf guitar music around the globe “Instrumental Asylum”…..
what the world press has to say:

“…pushes the envelope of just what an instrumental surf
trio can do. A muscular, lovingly distorted guitar sound”
Greg Haymes, Times Union (Albany USA)

“…this is a band that takes no prisoners.” – Matthew Frederick, The Age (Australia)

“Instrumental dynamite” – Peter Thomas, Big Beat of the 50s (Australia)

“Huge guitar, intense energy, and very emotional” – Phil Dirt, Reverb Central (USA)

“Without a shadow of a doubt, Ben Rogers is one of the WORLDS great guitar players”- Billy Pinnell, ABC, RRR, 3AW
