THE SOARING UNDERBELLY

THE SOARING UNDERBELLY

Beneath the fading lights, in the darkest alleyways, even gutters of the local music scene, an underground movement of quality and aggressive music looms and lingers, as an answer to the trends of more popular musical sub-cultures. Heavy Metal is unfavourably reputed for so many reasons, blatant ignorance being the most common. This is tragic,...
Assembly left Devastated

Assembly left Devastated

Saturday night saw the welcome return of drum ‘n bass to one of Cape Town’s premier live music venues, The Assembly. With its last appearance at the Harrington Street venue in 2009, most punters were of the opinion that a d ‘n b night was long overdue. And, indeed it was. Enter ‘Devastation’…    ...
Dark Encounters

Dark Encounters

Fairies and Gargoyles, red velvet, donkey-eared Anne Rice novels and jewellery boxes of symbolic treasures. The enigmatic & elusive people of the night: a subculture that has outlived most others. …what is Goth? Is it a Lifestyle? An escape? A common ground? An identity? And are they, er, alive in Cape Town? Is our city a refuge...
Coarse - Friends Grow Apart

Coarse – Friends Grow Apart

Executing another exhibition style piece in vinyl, Coarse brings their latest figure assemblage, “casting shadows” to light.

ROB ONE - AFRICAN

ROB ONE – AFRICAN

‘Too many emcees, not enough fans’ is a phrase oft-used in hip-hop circles to describe the over-saturation of rappers in the scene, the consequence of which is a diminishing pool of people who are willing to be listeners, to ‘support the cause’ in a sense. What happens, then, when this affirmation does not hold? What...
BEATS, SWEETS AND FREAKS ON HEAT.

BEATS, SWEETS AND FREAKS ON HEAT.

Slop tans, fresh beginnings and “noses painted peppered sunlight”, summertime is over kids, and soon so will be the trance parties. So, here’s to the beats, the sweets and all you freaks… ’till next season kids.
We like our turkey cold, thanks.

We like our turkey cold, thanks.

I always knew it would be a riot. Let’s be honest, there’s no room for good intentions when a public holiday is there to back you up the next day. Thursday night’s sequence of now-hazy incidents led to a fast-food ‘refuel, re-think and repress’ two days inside. But all was redeemed by Sunday morning; it...

Hasta la vista Pablo!

Hasta la vista Pablo!

Last week Saturday saw the return of The Succulent’s highly successful annual Afrika Burns fundraiser – ‘Pablo’s Summer Send Off’ – at Ibis House and as expected, this tribute to beats under the sun was one hell of a jam.
