Paul Weller Fred Perry shirt

I can’t think of anyone but Paul Weller that could sell me a new shirt,

as I usually only buy vintage clothes. But I signed up for this. No idea

how much it will cost yet.

I’ll be offering up some intoxicating sounds in the tropical splendor of the Forbidden Island Tiki Lounge on Tuesday July 18th from 7:30 on. Expect to hear plenty of exotica and instrumentals from the 50s and 60s, plus a bit of rockabilly, some hillbilly hula, and 60s soul and garage.

Enjoy a delicious cocktail from the menu of 38 tropical drink specialties and you’ll feel like you’re in paradise.

What Would Jab Do? Come early for happy hour drink specials (from 5:00-7:00) and stay for the tunes!
