About the Book

The Lore of The LuWOW is a fun-filled pictorial frolic through the history of the legendary Australian tiki bar The LuWOW and its predecessors, Devilles Pad and the Hula Bula Bar. These bars are known for their outstanding decor, attention to detail and dedication to providing customers with an unforgettable, eye-poppin' cinematic experience. This book includes cocktail recipes and know-how gathered over twenty-plus years in hospitality and entertainment, as well as dodgy anecdotes, bar decor tips only a monkey could follow, and lots of visual mayhem. A must-have for fans of tiki rock'n'roll, lowbrow art, pin-up and retro trash. A true Cocktail Adventure. 'What the Cramps did to Rockabilly, Josh & Babz did to the Tiki Bar: The LuWoW is a pure pop version of the genre, a fairground ride, a haunted house of Tiki, owing to the inventiveness and over-the-top imagination of its creators. They joyously took Picasso's adage "Good Taste? Good taste is the enemy of creativity!" to heart, like Punk kids in an eye candy store. Become an explorer in a jungle B-movie, take a tour through the various manifestations of their fertile imagination...' Sven Kirsten, author of The Book of Tiki and Tiki Pop 'Their Devilles Pad lounge proved that hell can be heaven. Their Mondo Inferno CDs proved they have impeccable musical taste. Their Hula Bula bar proved that even at the ends of the Earth if you build it, they will come I did, and I loved it. Restauranteurs, hoteliers, DJs, designers, filmmakers. Is there anything Josh and Babz can't do? Well, there is one thing. They are incapable of being boring.' Beachbum Berry, author and mixologist
