10th Oct – 15th Oct

October 10, 2011

Showers of a new day – And it feels earlier than it really is – so I’d suggest a nice cuppa to jump start your day, and if you’re in the neighborhood, allow Jackson (our Chef) to whip up our lunch specials for you.

Mid-week will see 2 sorts of ‘open mic night’ – one will hit our funny bone with Talk Cock Comedy and in Mr Jonathan’s words: Fostering the comedy stars of the future..Come and see some brilliant performers… and some ‘one day will be brilliant’ performers… and some ‘what the blipblip were you thinking?’ performers… $10 entry includes first drink and 1-4-1 house pours for $12 all night. 8pm onwards @ Space on WEDNESDAY. The other is Eddie’s Revival Jam where musicians come together to play and give you brilliant performances. 9:30pm onwards @ Wednesday @ Cafe

Come FRIDAY AND SATURDAY: it’s MUY Caliente – means: very hot stuff with a Dance Demonstration and workshop by Soloist Dancer and Producer & Director of Cuba Rico (Cuban Dance Company), Michel Cruz. The time to shake them bootie are 8pm, 9pm & 10:15pm and IRESON LATIN BAND gonna make you shake it from 9.30pm till late: A 5 piece band with a salsa and son traditional repertoire, latin dance music with Carlos Sendros on vocals, Pablo Calzado on drums, Enrriquez Castillo on guitar, Mario Lopez on bass and Alina Ramirez on piano.

And on FRIDAY, we’ll also be featuring DJ INCOMA @ Lounge from 9:30pm onwards: INCOMA aka Saf is in the 6th year of his career as a DJ. A seasoned spinner who started his passion 6 years ago in the US, his music is about something of the 90s and a whiff of something current. Dancing guaranteed.

The party doesn’t just stop because on SATURDAY, we have Diggin Deep – great electro sounds that will have you grooving away @ LOUNGE from 9:30pm onwards and if you head on up to SPACE, Edwin from E-Trax and DJs from Passion will transcend genres, mashing and dispensing a fluid night of a party unleashing modern and futuristic electrones from mellow beats to crunchy basslines, vice versa and in between. Get ready for a color inducing night! See you there FUTROLISTIC earthlings! Get your senses probed!
