The Dirty Skirts - Harvey Wallbangers, 02.03.08

By the time this gig rolled around, I was borderline exhausted and kinda cranky, what with 3 insane gigs and a crazy wedding in the past 4 nights.  I also had German Measles but I hadn't quite fi...

Paul E Flynn and the Seeds of Doubt - Back2Basix, 28.02.08

When 2008 dawned on us, I promised myself (and Visa) that I would seriously curtail my trips to Jo'burg to watch bands. I managed to fool myself for a few weeks, tops. I suspect Visa knew it was a hoa...

Springbok Nude Girls - Burn, 13.12.07

Christmas came early for me this year.  To be specific, it came in the shape of another Springbok Nude Girls gig at Burn 12 days before the official Christmas.  Who needs a partridge in a pe...

Japan and I & Sibling Rivalry - The Willowvale, 08.12.07

There I was, quite comfortable on my couch, in my pj's watching what was shaping up to be quite a good movie.  And then the phone rang.  I am such a sucker for gigs and so of course in a mat...

Van Coke Kartel - Burn, 07.12.07

Those of you who may have read my previous reviews will know I have quite a thing for Francois van Coke&.musically speaking of course.  So even though no one else was keen for Burn, I wasn't goin...

Stereophonics - RDS Main Hall, Dublin, 29.11.07

I found it quite entertaining that some of my friends were surprised that I was going to gigs while in Ireland&have they not met me? And after all, I was missing out on loads of stuff back home so I h...

Pinback - Whelans, Dublin, 25.11.07

I have to be 100% honest and say that up until fairly recently, I had never even heard of Pinback.  But someone who's musical judgement I trust pretty much implicitly raves about them with almost...

For the Love of 1974: Daves birthday bash - Burn, 10.11.07

A definite perk to being the owner of the only alternate club in Durban is that when its your birthday, you get to book loads of really cool bands and feel really popular when hundreds of people show ...

Arno Carstens & Kasia - Society, 04.11.07

Every year Society hosts the Levis Vintage Sundays around this time and they always seem to be a roaring success.  So much so that I had nightmares on Saturday night about whether I was going to ...

The Springbok Nude Girls - Live at the Astoria

I am officially in heaven.  My cat, however, may never be the same again.  Which is probably not such a bad thing since she was pretty twisted to start off with.  The vision of her belo...
