The Steampunk Saloon

Participants needed:
Hands on, willing to help with the hard graft. Fun, playful and open minded.

Project Description:

The Steampunk Saloon is a magical place where glitz and glamour awaits even the most dust encrusted voyeur.

We provide warm, inviting fires along the frontage of the saloon, accompanied with beautiful music to set the tone for the beginning, middle or end of your adventure.

SHOWS

We host  burlesque variety shows in the early evening from Thursday to Saturday.  Burlesque celebrates the beauty and UNIQUE quality of each woman and allows each performer to express herself in a way that makes her feel beautiful.

WHISKEY AND SPANKINGS 

We serve whiskey and whips, tunes and tits in our nightly ‘get a spanking with your whiskey’  sessions.

MUSIC/BOOGIE

We host dj’s to play funk, blues, swing, tribal beats and more tunes that will make you shed your inhibitions. Think happy, hippy, swingy, bluesy, strippy, skippy, jumpy, rock ‘n rolly, sing alongy… we’ve got you covered if dancing is what tickles your fancy!  We play music with lyrics!! Please note, no doef doef, trance, techno, house etc. We prefer not to play electronic music. 

CRITICAL TITS WORKSHOP AND PARADE 

We host Critical Tits on Saturday – ladies, bring your bosoms to the Saloon at 2pm and make pretty pasties  at the Saloon, accompanied by beautiful poetry and amazing music. Lady Magnolia and our brazen beauties will lead you in a group tassle twirl before we head off on a topless parade of the binnekring. We invite all mutant vehicles to join us and carry our topless beauties on the parade. We’ll end our parade back at the saloon where our Steam Punks will serve chilled champagne to the goddesses.

Theme Camp
Enos’ Nookie

Spacemonkey Enos crashed his rocket into the desert and decided to create his cozy safe-space (aka nookie) in the far corners of Tankwa Town. There he welcomes other cosmic travelers ever since. His guests can enjoy audio-visual experiences in a jungle of cosmic grooves in his safe, but wild place. Follow the landing lights towards the burning rocket and let your inner monkey loose at our eclectic jols powered by a wonderful sound system. Our camp where we live and rest is located a few hundred meters away from our stage and is our private safe space where we eat and hang together, refresh ourselves and get our well deserved rest. The camp provides safe shelter, drinking water, collectively prepares a fresh warm meal daily, builds a shower, shares knowledge in event planning, building, stage production, light programming, sound engineering, awareness, vibe creation, burn principles and more.  Get in touch with us!

La Marmelada Orchestra

La Marmelada Orchestra is a spontaneous, collaborative band forming in the dust of Tankwa Town. Musicians from different backgrounds come together to create live sessions that exist only once — improvised, playful, and alive. Strings, horns, percussion, synths, voices, strange instruments, familiar ones — everything can find its place. The orchestra emerges during the week through open rehearsals, jams, and experiments at La Casa Timeless, eventually leading to collective performances where individual voices blend into one living sound. No fixed repertoire.No strict genre.Just musicians listening to each other and building something real in the moment. If you like the idea of making music with people you’ve never met before — in the middle of the desert — this might be for you.
