The latest Chew Magazine is out and available for FREE pdf dowload. It has interesting music stuffs on Isochronous and Ben Rausch. Also Inge is back with some new hot fashion pics. It is totally worth sacrificing 30MB to get this desktop glossy. Do it. Oh, and the interview with Ben (Sassquatch) is mine.

Taxi Violence, Francois and Inge collaborate

On Saturday, Taxi Violence performed at Marshall Music in Cape Town with guest performers Francois from Polisiekar and Inge from Lark.
The weird thing about the show was that is was in the morning, about 11am. The event was to celebrate LMG's birthday. LMG is a music magazine in Cape Town.
Hearing George and Inge perform was certainly a highlight for the 25 people that had gathered for the show. Francois was still pretty under the weather from whatever he had been up to until the wee hours of the morning. Fun times.
After the show I had a chat with Francois. He is very handsy, and does not like blogs, maybe thanks to a word or two from good old Luca.
Fun morning but it was sad that so few people turned up for the show.

Yours in musical......kidding.

Inge's back at the Assembly

[They spelled Ferguson wrong on this poster]

Remember Inge (from Lark) played with KOBUS at The Assembly at the end of August? Well, she is coming back to Assembly to play with Lonesome Dave Ferguson this weekend. So, if you are into meaningful dark lyrics (Inge) and Americana blues (Ferguson), come down to the Assembly on Saturday night. I think it's going to be very interesting and experimental.

Check out Inge's Myspace and Dave Ferguson's Myspace. For more info, click here.
Doesn't Dave look like a young George Michael? Weird.

Paradiso + infereno aka The High Priestess vs. The Devil.

The evening was set. The apocalyptic rain storm and gail force winds set the scene for the rising of The High Priestess and Devil to collaborate in one of this years most interesting acts to battle it out on The Assembly platform.

K.O.B.U.S. (SAMA awarding winning Metal band) and none other than Inge Beckmann (lead singer of the former band Lark, also a SAMA award winner for Best Alternative Act) got together to collaborate for the Paradiso+infereno gig. This gig was a SA music fans fantasy, even if one doesn’t like metal, Inge is hot! The ethereal high notes and ground shattering bass notes that culminate and release from Miss Beckmann’s throat will raise the hairs on the back of your neck whilst the beastly demonic thrash-metal sounds of K.O.B.U.S. create a perfect juxtaposition yet equilibrium of harmonious and sinfully sensual sounds.

The crowd change at Assembly was a big change from the usual Nu Rave, skinny jean, Tommy takkie kids to what one could call “kids from the dark side”. Yes offense.

The change was needed. The gig was a breath of fresh yet alternative air to the usual indie-kid scene in Cape Town.

The black apparel and spikes were out with force on Saturday night along with some top SA performances and original sound. Let’s keep the collaborations coming. Support SA music kids.

PORRO AGO DIABOLOUS!
