It was my first time inside The Bodega, and it didn’t take long to clock what kind of venue this…
By K Futur MusicFriday the 3rd of October marked a truly memorable evening in the heart of town as Dubrek, in collaboration with Wild Streak Records, threw an electrifying launch party for their brand-new shop. The event, free for all, was a celebration of music, art, and community, drawing enthusiasts from all corners for a night to remember.
The festivities kicked off with DJ Craig Simpson, who set the tone perfectly with an energetic set that had the crowd moving and buzzing with anticipation. The highlight of the night, however, came when Dallas Roots Combo took to the stage. This authentic four-piece band delivered a masterclass in vintage-inspired rock, blending influences from Rockabilly, Rock ‘n’ Roll, Rhythm & Blues, and Country. Their unique sound was infectious — I found myself tapping my feet all night — and it’s no exaggeration to say they are one of my favourite live acts I’ve seen in recent memory.
Beyond the live music, the new Dubrek shop itself is a haven for music lovers and culture seekers alike. Shelves are stocked with carefully curated items from Wild Streak Records, including a fantastic selection of vinyl and a listening station for those who want to sample before they buy. But it doesn’t stop there — the shop also showcases 47 Degrees Coffee, Hippo Guitars, Jim Explore’s incredible artwork, and Dubrek’s very own stylish merchandise. Whether you’re a vinyl collector, a guitar enthusiast, or simply on the hunt for unique gifts, Dubrek has something for everyone.
Friday’s opening was more than just a launch; it was a celebration of creativity and community, combining music, art, and culture in one unforgettable night. If you missed it, make sure to check out the shop soon — and keep an eye on Dubrek and Wild Streak Records for future events that promise to be just as exciting.
