August 2008
The Tortuga Studios Launch Party was a raucous affair with more than 400 punters rocking up to check out our shiny new space… There was art; there was sculpture; there was free wine; there was projections and performance and free wine… there was a frozen tree, that thawed imperceptibly throughout the evening, shaking off its frozen shackles in an avalanche of splintered ice; there was free wine; and, to top it all off, Juke Baritone and the Swamp Dogs played their own brand of swampy cabaret gypsy punk and pirate blues mayhem just for us. It was a riot. Stayed tuned for future Tortuga events.
