Many thanks go to the souls who braved last night’s horrid Melbourne weather to come on down for Mondo-a-Go-G0!  A good time was had by a dedicated core of hardy party-goers who weren’t going to let a little rain stand in the time of a good Hustle or Watusi!

Just a reminder to those who have any photos of the Tiki Bar that you’d like to share from last night or any of the other recent events held at the bar (I KNOW I saw some photos being taken of the boys from Mariachi Los Romanticos a few weeks back!) we have an email address for guest photo submissions - photos@tikiloungeandbar.com.  We can also embed YouTube videos in the site - if you have any video of the bar on YouTube that you’d like to share, email us the link at info@tikiloungeandbar.com.

We’re looking forward to seeing some great guest snaps!

Cheers,

Kev

What a time of year!

n706059849_890193_8806.jpgLast week’s awesome performance by North Carolina has left us reeling with thier great funk/soul outpouring.  There was Aretha, Prince, Stevie… and was that a pinch of Salt n Pepa?!

Anyway, we’ll have barely had the time to peel the funk off the walls (in a good way) when the good folk from Mondo-a-Go-Go sweep into the bar and transform it into a hip 60s discothèque complete with mini skirts, turtlenecks and Robotic DJs (that’s exactly what it was like - trust me!  I was there!).  If last Mondo-a-Go-Go is anything to Go-Go by, the venue will become a feast for the senses with great music and tripped out visual installations.

Another event not to be missed!

Stake a claim on the dancefloor early from 8pm for an 8:30, kneehigh-booted kick off.  $8 covercharge.

327 Swan Street,

Richmond

Hello Music fans!

Some of you may have noticed the little event Google calendar widget on the right-hand side of this website showing some upcoming event - one of which will be happening tomorrow night and is shaping up to be AWESOME!

We’ve got yet another group of talented musicians for your aural pleasure performing at our humble bar!

Magificent Melbourne funk/soul band North Carolina (http://www.myspace.com/northcarolinafunk) dropped the Tiki Bar an email a little while ago saying, and I quote, “Tiki Lounge and Bar is the bee’s knees of soul venues in Melbourne as far as we’re concerned”. Despite not believing this high praise at first, we’ve now pretty much convinced ourselves that this is a universal truth and decided in our deluded state to welcome the folk from North Carolina to Tiki on Saturday November 15th to cut loose with their wonderful female vocal led jazz grooves. These guys are not to be missed! One might even say they’re the bee’s knees…

Time: After 8pm Saturday November 15th - $8 Cover Charge.

Email info@tikiloungeandbar.com for more details or call 9428 4336.

Cheers,
Tiki Lounge and Bar
