CBGB at SYNW
The night of January 16th saw the weekly event – See You Next Wednesday at The Assembly – paying tribute to the legendary home of punk – none other than the historic CBGB. Initially intended for country, bluegrass and blues, the New York City night club soon favoured the disorderly. It saw bands like The...
PO10c Presents: Discotheque x MyCityByNight
The third PO10c Presents: Discotheque x MyCityByNight happened on Friday 22nd October at The Assembly in Cape Town. We went to check out if the promising line-up lived up to our expectations. Among others, Christian Tiger School, DJ Invizable and Niskerone performed, and all managed to wind the beat-addicted crowd up, to say the least....
NIGHTLY PLEASURES WITH BEATENBERG, BEACH PARTY AND EXORSISTAHS
Saturday, October 13th was the night of the YOH! Early Halloween party, which featured, amongst other things, a screening of William Friedkin’s The Exorcist (1973), performances by Beatenberg, Beach Party and the Exorsistahs as well as very little light. We attended the dark parade and felt homely between the presence of spider webs, vampires and...
THE STALKED
Stalking has become easy in an age of social media. In fact, most of us are quite content to release private information into the whacky world of the www. Christine Hogg speaks to Alice Toich, who examins this phenomenon by painting portraits of Facebook users who she ‘stalked’. “None is so famous than the example...
The Dragons stole our heart
On a cold and rainy Friday night in the mother city we were lulled by a new yet familiar sound, entranced by electro and swayed by soul, not to mentioned truly funked by house – our house it seems, borrowed and brought back blue and new and wow and true. ‘Dreamy, shifting rhythmical moody rainbow...
BEAST: A Band Apart
When life gives you lemons, it’s simply because you deserve it. But when life gives you Inge Beckmann, a camera kit and backstage passes, well then you know it’s about time you gave life something back. This very notion motivated us as we set out to follow the dark-haired vocalist perform gigs at the admirable...

Jozifest Burns Down the Highway Skyline
Picture this, directly underneath the M1 Highway is a stage blaring the most potent of dub-step; non-stop. A sea of possessed bodies going crazy giving way to sound at the speed of 140bpm – repetitively. It’s a powerful sound that gives impetus to move like possessed junkies. ...
Love & Light 2012
Saturday 14 January was the Love & Light festival at Mountain Shadows, Paarl. Overcoming uncertainties and judgements I was off – off to have a blast. An unused field became a single stage, the heart of the event—the music’s epicentre. 10am to 10pm: this party was a one day beat-crazy rendezvous under the sky.
The Daisies of Darling
If you didn’t know that Rocking the Daisies was this past weekend, then you are probably over 70 and have a house filled with cats, kak ‘collectible’ porcelain and questionable odours. Attracting over 10 000 people every year, RTD 2011 was no different and one small seed contributor Cameron Duncan hit it, and hit it...
Coldplay lighting up Green Point
Cape Town’s Green Point stadium has finally landed, in sight that is, and what an incandescent vision of absolution it is to my physically inept body; the payback from a near-3km fan-walk and too many pre-concert doubles. It’s the 5th of October and Coldplay is about to light up the night…
