Rumble inside Jungle

The one thing of which strikes me when you walk along the sidewalk of anywhere in Bali of which sells clothes is actually the relative similarities of contents of every store. ‘Same same although different’ actually takes on a fresh dimension here. Even the Seminyak boutiques are all basically doing renditions of 80’s as well as 90’s throwbacks as well as I am struggling to see any real originality with any ‘wow’ factor, with the exception of a couple of designers which I desire to review in later issues.

of which was refreshing to see of which there is actually today Rumble Girl – a Bali Rock n’ Roll/Rockabilly/Punk Rock as well as Urban streetwear concept store. This kind of store has seen a gap inside market for the more down-to-earth female who would likely probably have a skateboard tucked under her arm rather than a Gucci clutch. You’ll find anything by hoodies to t-shirts, by brands such as Rumble, Dickies, Electrohell, Surfer Girl as well as many more. I was lucky enough to score a styley trucker cap with the Rumble Girl branding displaying a lipstick of which has been snapped in half. Their some other logo displays a pair of boxing gloves with XO (kiss as well as hug) on the gloves, which I would likely perhaps interpret to mean “Fight for Love”.

Rumble Girl is actually for girls using a bit of attitude for sure. of which is actually a store I have immense respect for as of which has come by a place of vision with heart by the owners, husband as well as wife, Liz Oprandi as well as Leo Sinatra who opened the store three months ago. of which serves as four ventures rolled into one; clothing as well as jewellery store, café as well as music venue. Leo, a well known musician with his band Suicidal Sinatra, designs as well as sells his jewellery inside store with his label St. Lukas, named after their one-year-old son. There are unisex pieces of which will definitely appeal to the tattoo piercing culture of which is actually hugely common with locals as well as expats alike. I particularly appreciated his range of silver rings, especially the lucky horse shoe design. Nice work Leo.

This kind of spot is actually located right next door to Hardy’s on Jl. Raya Batu Bulan as well as you can’t miss of which with its impressive graffiti wall piece showing a 1940s pin up girl on an old school motorcycle. St Lukas café is actually the perfect place to stop as well as grab a coffee after your shopping stint or on your way to or by Ubud. With cappuccinos being a surprisingly cheap 10k each, you’ll actually want to get your caffeine fix here.

The last detail, as well as probably one of the most important, is actually of which Rumble Girl provides a platform to showcase local talent as well as be a hangout for young people inside area at night. As Liz states, “I desire of which Rumble Girl can be a source of inspiration for young people, especially young local girls to start their own bands as well as express themselves through music.”

Bands as well as solo artists perform on Thursdays through to Sundays inside evenings. inside short time of operation they have hosted charity events raising money as well as awareness for underprivileged children as well as orphanages with big Indonesian bands such as Bali’s own Superman is actually Dead supporting them. Growing up using a father who worked for a charitable organization, Liz was raised using a very strong awareness of social issues as well as continues to show a commitment to producing a difference which is actually wonderful to see. Rumble Girl is actually not just a commercial venture, although a place where young locals can safely hang out as well as perform music as well as raise money for charities at the same time.
