A Roaring Good Time
Seven Bar and Kitchen seems to be the hot spot lately. Locals from every
scene pour into this tiny speak easy pub to have a good time in the funk zone.
To take advantage of Seven Bar’s look and feel, and the fact that The Great
Gatsby opened in theaters this week, and because it was Chelsea Lancaster's birthday, Seven Bar threw a Prohibition Party with no
holds bar.
Part of the nifty lineup included local rockabillies, The Phantom
Pomps. With Dakota Serge on stand up bass, lady Kelli Alexandra on drums, and
legendary rock n roll singer Chris Story on the mic, they set the place
hopping. Labeled as “rockabilly,” these guys really seemed more of a mini hardcore
big band in this scene. Fast jams, quirky lyrics, and tons of personality, it’s
hard not to get caught in the crowd of dancers.
The music, the ambiance, the costumes, and the hooch really created the
feel I imagine a legitimate speak easy would have. It was a rip roaring good
time.
