There will be a live rock band at the Cafe Pazar on Thursday the 25th August 9:00pm. They are a Turkish band specialising in mainly rock music covers from the 60's to the present day. They have a realy good mix of music for all tastes. Their covers inlude works by Cream, Radiohead, REM, Clapton,Floyd, Bob Marley etc.
Well worth a look, I saw these guys a couple of weeks ago and they were great. Even though they were not advertised in advance so there were only a few customers there when they started, as soon as they started playing people seemed to drift in from everywhere and in half an hour the place was jumping.........
-
Sounds interesting! Do you know the band's name? Used to love a band who played in Alladins years ago...cannot recall their name right now but just wondering if it could be the same guys.
-
Don't think they have a name, they are all pretty young so I don't think it's the same band. The lead guitarist is Cenap's (the owner of Cafe Pazar,) nephew, they are all friends and just get together to perform when they can. They are a really talented bunch of guys though.
-
Is this still on tonight Philrose? Cheers.
-
Yes spoke to Cenap yesterday...
-
Excellent! Looking forward to hearing some REM :))
-
Hi Can recommend this band, we previously called in Cafe Pazar and what a pleasant surprise to hear a live band playing such good music. They played some of Eric Clapton and Cream music, it was fantastic. Wish we were there to hear them again. :)
-
There used to be a really good rock band who played weekly in Aladdin Bar when the inimitable, one & only Omer, :D (Cowboy) ran it. I was honoured to be asked to sing with them on every occasion that they played. They were called; "PANZEHIR", & were based, I believe, in either Hisaronu, or Kaya Koy. The female lead singer had a very unusual, but spell-binding voice, & the lead guitarist was, well, just fantastic, my opinion, obviously !!
-
Thanks so much Philrose...we had a great night listening to some very talented young men. No REM played but plenty of Cream, really good to hear that kind of music here...they were better than some bands who played in London pubs when we lived there!
GordonA - Panzehir were excellent, very tight. BTW spoke to Cowboy last night...daft as ever lol.
-
Have to agree a great night, the place was packed and everyone seemed to enjoy it. No REM this week, but the Pink Floyd number was tremendous...
-
Agreed...their Pink Floyd was excellent! I hope they keep performing here as we have really missed listening to what we consider good live music :)
-
Hi there will the lads be regularly playing at this venue. I am over in September and would love to come and listen?
-
Spoke to Cathy last night and it is intended to be either a fortnightly or monthly event, depending on demand. I was pushing for fortnightly... ;)
-
Just a quick heads up the next rock night will be a week Thursday, 8th September at 21:00 8)
-
Cheers philrose :) Thanks for letting us know. Looking forward to it especially as Phil's daughter will be here, she will love it!
-
If the band are playing on the 22nd sept we will be there :) 8)
The Badgers

It's between Aydin Pide roundabout & the Sunday market on the RHS
-
Have just returned from Calis and saw this band on Thursday night, and also two weeks before that.
They were superb - an excellent night out! Get there early; it was packed on Thursday night. :)
-
Thanks very much for the dirctions, Liz. Will look forward to going. Cheeers - Em. :)
-
Another great night of rock music last night, the place was packed! It was also nice to see that they vary their set and don't play the exact same thing from one week to the next 8)
PS Next night is on Thursday 22nd September ;)
-
Totally agree philrose...and they played REM:D
-
Would anybody know if they were likely to playing in the last week of October?
-
If they stick to playing fortnightly then the answer is no as they will be playing on the 20th October.
-
Thanks yabanci, thats shot that idea down in flames hasn't it!
-
Apparently they do play in a few bars and hotels in Olu Deniz, but I've no idea which ones sorry..
-
Any other ideas for rock music in the last week of October?
-
Tonights performance is canceled due to the rain! Hopefully should be on for next week...
-
Must admit the rain was putting us off going tonight so really glad it's been re-scheduled ;) Maybe they'll play a whole set of REM[?]
-
REM splitting up I hear, such a shame.
-
Yes Tel they have split so a tribute night by the band in Cafe Pazar would be great!
Such a shame though, REM were probably the best band ever...in my opinion anyway ;)
-
what rain?
-
Just a quick heads up...
The band will be playing again this Thursday 29th September 8)
-
Wednesday 28th or Thursday 29th??? but can't be Thursday 28th!
-
Oops! corrected Thursday 29th
-
Just a quick reminder that the bands last performance for this year will be tonight at 9:00 pm 8)
-
That's a shame philrose...must pop out to listen to them as it seems unlikely we'll hear any more half decent live rock for a while:(
-
Will see you there then... :)
-
The good news is that, according to Cenap, the band are going to continue playing every 2 weeks :) They were excellent last night...these guys can certainly play good music ;)

Thats you sorted now:D
-
I enjoyed the band, they played very well however I found the male lead singer very quiet. Not sure if he just has a naturally soft voice or the mic wasn't tweaked quite right, will certainly go & listen to them again.
-
Vocals, both male and female, lost out in sound balance. Other than that the band was enjoyable.
Nice change from quiz nights etc..
-
When they first played they had a different singer who was amazing. He has not been there the last 2 sessions and I think they are trying to find their way jamming and having some fun. Phil and I thought the guy was much better this week, put it down to confidence...vocals OK, not brilliant...but neither are so many guitar playing superstars (Eric, Gary!!) The lead guitar/singer for sure can play the guitar!!! I'm his groupie: :) Girl singer just needs to build up her confidence.
-
They have a pretty informal line up and there have been various singer/guitar/bass combinations over the past few months.
Anyway they are there again this Thursday (27 October) at 9:00 pm if anyone wants to catch them...
-
Just to let everyone know the band are back at Cafe Pazar, this week Thursday 10th November at 8:30pm. Playing indoors now, but it does make the sound balance a whole lot better... :)
-
I might be able to pop in but next door has its Thu nights specials for the winter now, far too tempting I'm afraid. Can you loan them a speaker, that'd be fun! Hope all goes well for the group.
-
Great! Missed them last time due to illness but looking forward to some good music on Thursday ;)
-
Oh my goodness...what a great night of music in Cafe Pazar on Thursday evening. Such a good atomsphere, such fun...reminded us of good jamming sessions when we lived in the UK. Strongly recommend this band ;)
-
Cenap at Cafe Pazar has asked me to let everyone on here know that this weeks rock night will be on
Friday the 25th of November instead of Thursday. :)
Sorry just had an update from Cenap.
They have had to re-schedule this to Sunday 27th November, kicking of at 8:00pm..........
-
hi anyone know if the thursday night live band are returning this season to cafe pazar, missed them last year but heard they were pretty good. thanks
-
Yes, they will be back, hopefully some time in May...
I'll drop a post here when I know thw dates :)
-
cheers, should catch them june then out for 3 weeks
-
Looking forward to these starting up again. We were able to go to a few last year, and they were fab! :)
-
Cenap at Cafe Pazar has asked me to announce that the first rock night of the season will be at the Cafe Pazar next Thursday 17th May at 8:30pm. It will be the same band that played last year, who incidently now have the name "The Lounge Lizards"
-
This band were fantastic.
Will the rock nights be every other Thursday night, same as last year? Just trying to work out if we'll be there at the right time when we're over for ten days in early June. :)
(Argggghh - no we wont be! What a shame - we'll have to wait till summer! :( )
Perhaps Cenap would like to start the rock nights a week later? :o :) :)

Not sure yet. I think Cenap is waiting to see what the response is like, to see how often it would be worthwhile to do...
-
Just a quick reminder (and giving this topic a little bump) that The "Lounge Lizards" will be playing tonight at the Cafe Pazar 8:30pm.
-
The rock nights at the Cafe Pazar with the "Lounge Lizards" have resumed. The next one is on the Thursday the 26th at 8:30pm. Be there or be square!...
-
Fabby :))) Will be there for sure ;D
-
Is this the same group that play at the Help bar in Oludenize on saturdays?
-

I think so, I know they do have a regular gig at Olu but not sure where...
-
The "Lounge Lizards" will once again be preforming at the Cafe Pazar this Thursday 9th August at 20:30. Lots of new material so should be a good one!
-
Great! They had a new female vocalist a couple of weeks ago and she was really very good at singing Adele, Duffy etc. Gokhan from Finans Bank also sang some very rocky Turkish songs...excellent ;)
