I'm sad to report that Lucky Joe's Tiki Room in Milwaukee will be closing its doors this Saturday, October 30. While short lived, the bar was highly regarded in the Tiki scene. In fact, The Revomatics were the "unofficial" house band for the bar playing to enthusiastic capacity audiences. I'm told the owners accepted an offer on the building that was just too good to pass up. Hopefully, they'll reopen Lucky Joe's at another location in the near future.

We will definitely miss this venue. It was a great place to perform at! Good cocktails too!

You can read more about the bar's closing here.

STORIES FROM SHAMEHILL PROUDLY PRESENTS 'SAME SAME BUT DIFFERENT'

De Ilpendams/Purmerendse surfrockformatie Stories from Shamehill presenteert op zondagmiddag 15 november haar eerste EP "Same same but different" in Pop- & Cultuurpodium P3 in Purmerend.

De EP is onder de bezielende leiding van Pablo van de Poel (zanger/gitarist van Dewolff) compleet analoog opgenomen en gemixt in de Electrosaurus Southern Sound Studio in Utrecht.

Na lovende kritieken uit de binnen- en buitenlandse surfmuziekscene, wordt het nu tijd om dit heugelijke feit met de eigen achterban te vieren.

De vier tracks - van eigen hand - worden deze middag door middel van videoclips gepresenteerd. Uiteraard verzorgt de band een live-optreden. Daarnaast wordt de middag muzikaal omlijst door twee (surf) dj's.

Open: 15:00 uur
Aanvang: 15:30 uur
Vrij entree
