The Ubangi Stomp Club launches this Thursday at Odessa featuring r'n'b, rock'n'roll, rockabilly and country.

Launching this Thursday and then every Thursday at the Odessa Club.

The music is a mix of the best rockin' sounds of the 40's, 50's and early 60's, featuring r 'n' b, rock 'n' roll, rockabilly and country. The atmosphere is 1950's Tiki bar, a Polynesian inspired hangout for the modern sophisticated savage. Tiki culture - a heavily romanticised and fictional version of Polynesian culture - was at its peak in 1950's USA where the lushly decorated cocktail bars provided an escape from a very conservative post war austerity.

Tropically flavoured rum cocktails were all the rage, with the Mai Tai being the undisputed Tiki favourite.
The Ubangi Stomp Club aims to recapture some of this spirit in the 50's inspired surroundings of the Odessa Club. Sip your tropical cocktail on the outdoor deck, swing and sway to the vintage beat, or be seduced by the flickering images of hip shaking exotic dancers and b-movie heroes and heroines. Vintage or tropical dress while not necessary will enhance your enjoyment of the ambience of a bygone era.
