Ashtray and Boxoffice at Aandklas

So, on Saturday night I did something I haven't done in a while. I went to Stellenbosch to watch bands. Ashtray Electric and Boxoffice were playing a show at Aandklas.
I had never heard of Boxoffice, and was a little intrigued to see them. Also, ashamedly, I hadn't seen Ashtray in long enough to feel like it was the first time. But it was great. Boxoffice were a little (weirdly) boxed by there music. Drummer (whatever his name is, call him Jim) was very a very talented individual, but did not look like he was enjoying himself at all. He was looking a little nervous (understatement of the century).
Anyway, Ashtray impressed me. They were fun, professional and they had a real good time on stage. They played their latest single, "Overstared" which had baie afrikaans mense singing along. It's a stunning track besides for the fact that I (synical I) hate sweet wine. Check out the Youtube video.



It was a jol. I am glad I made the long trek from Hout Bay to Stellies!
