Tommy Cooper says "get thee to a Fezzery!"

Well it’s on again people! Tiki Bar’s annual Fezbruary party!

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.

Tiki Bar is closed for summer break. We re-open Friday 13th January 2012

The Quarry Mountain Dead Rats…ALIVE!!… this Sat.3rd Dec

Daiquiri Dave — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 01:41:50 +0000

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.

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)
