The Royal TenenBarbaras

Overview

So, you've tried to pull a few heists, built an aquarium and sailed the seas in matching outfits. Or, maybe you've caught a train across India, ran away from camp and became a lobby boy. Perhaps you just have a chaotic family. Or you could just really like symmetrical images. Whichever category you call into, The Royal TenenBarbaras is the party for you.

From 9pm on May 12, Fortitude Valley Barbara is getting swept up in Wes Anderson fever — and no, they're not just asking everyone to dress up as their favourite Bill Murray or Jason Schwartzman character, but that's definitely welcome. In fact, donning red tracksuits, blue sneakers or a concierge's outfit is heartily encouraged. So is being as fantastic as Mr Fox, or bringing along a beagle named Buckley.

Whichever Anderson flick is your favourite, you can pay tribute to it here. And, Barbara will be screening his best movies on their projector all night long. They'll also get their DJs to give his soundtracks a whirl, which means you'll be listening to The Kinks, The Beatles, Seu Jorge's Portuguese-language covers of David Bowie, The Rolling Stones, Indian film scores and more. All you need now is a martini, three cheeseburgers and some French fries.
