CLUB 115 TAKES YOU BACK!
We love the old school and keeping you in the loop with what’s on in the UNDERGROUND.Drift back with us… Think of DJ’s back in the day. When house music stole your soul. Now think of a party that includes all your favourite weekend habitats: 206, Fourth World, Foundation, Sublime, Reality and Carnalita. You’ll also remember the STYLE OF PLAY,… WHEN IT WAS STRICTLY VINYLS and radio Djs couldn’t find the tracks you played? Those Djs were the groundbreakers, the torchbearers, the innovators and pioneers. They are Djs of a revolutionary kind who inspired and continue to inspire todays ‘hot’ young talent in an industry they helped to establish. They are the people that produce world-class dance music, own top record labels and work behind the counters of SA’S finest record stores. They are, and will remain the people who make the music that moves you! Take a trip down memory lane withDJ CLIVE, PHAT JACK, TAVI, THE COHAN BROS and STATIC P on the Friday the 4th of August and Friday the 1st of September at Club 115! BRACE YOURSELVES! IT’S GONNA BE ON...
LOL WITH DAVID KAU WHILE YOU DO YOUR BIT!
Serious issues don’t always have to be dealt with seriously. BE A HERO FOR ONE NIGHT, let us tell you how… Fact : If South Africans were to be honest with themselves about our crime situation, I think it would be safe to say that we are facing a crisis in this country. We talk a lot about crime and other problems that we face as the youth. That in itse… lf is also a huge problem, we just TALK! What are WE doing about the situation that we are faced with? We can’t look to President Mbeki to solve all our problems. Many of the solutions lie with the citizens themselves. Yes, that includes YOU too. This Friday, one of our favourite comedians David Kau literally puts his money where his mouth is. He will be putting on his “I DID THESE JOKES FIRST” show at the Civic Theatre and all the proceeds will go towards the SAPS Widows and Orphans Fund that was set up to help those family members who lose their loved ones while in the line of duty. Our police force members put their necks on the line for us everyday for salaries that are almost laughable. Do your bit by supporting this initiative and have an awesome time while you’re at it! Date: Friday 4th August Time: 8:30pm Venue: Johannesburg Nelson Mandela Civic Theatre Damage: R100, tickets are available at Computicket **************************************************** We bring you a smashing new series for Represent – “ASK”. She will be interviewing a whole bunch of crazy people to find out more about them. And we kick off the first interview with our favourite local comedian, DAVID KAU! Don’t you love his photo?!

Carnivore v ThunderGun v Sanza @ Spaza Art
Well we finally got around to doing some food reviews… This past weekend we went to three completely different restaurants to check them out and let you know what we think… Friday was dedicated to a dinner at Carnivore, situated just off Beyers Naude out at the Misty Hills hotel… We had heard all about Carnivore and the… thought of meat meat and more meat was definitely a puller for us non-herbivores….The restaurant was almost full at 8pm on a Friday… large groups of tourists feasted on venison next to Black and White South Africans all tucking into their inyama. The decor was a little ‘cliched’ and looking tired, the theme being African and Wildlife, this was to be expected. But as my dining partner commented, “it’s perfect for the African safari desired by eager tourists…it gives them what they fantasize about” – but it was a little gaudy and over the top for us. The way Carnivore’s works is that you pay a set menu fee, around R175 a head, you then feast on a three course meal. Starting off with a delicious butternut soup we moved onto the meat and salads… luckily the waiter told us about the ‘surrender flag’ – a little paper flag that you lower from your well-laden lazy Susan when you just can’t take anymore meat. You will surrender. The waiters ciculate with huge chunks of meat or sausages, offering you 14 different types of meat that you can devour. The waiters were friendly if not a little “cliched” themselves, brimming with quirky Carnivore spirit and tip-obligated friendliness… It worked. We didn’t have space for desert after the indulgment of the meat on offer and staggared out of Carnivore feeling very satisfied but a little bored on the experience side. We give it a 6 out of 10. But you know we’re fussy. CARNIVORE “Muldersdrift Estate” 69 Drift Boulevard Muldersdrift 1747 Tel (+27 11) 950-6061 Saturday required a trip to the famous burger joint on Beyers Naude, ThunderGun Steakhouse… Stories of death-defying burgers and solid hangover cure food lured us in. Our first impression on entrance was that we had stepped into an English-style pub, with most of the patrons appearing to be white middle-aged British ex-pats…A suprising consistency at the tables both inside and outside the restaurant. Looking straight into the carpark, there’s not much of a view here so the food must be the attraction, we guessed. We were right. It certainly wasn’t the kitch “land of Haiwatha” decor that graced the walls, totem polls and all. Clearly the decor was a direct translation of the menu, with the cowboy and...
Innovative musician VERITY causing a stir
If you love supporting SA music then you need to get behind this highly original concept from Verity, a local lass who is selling copies of her CD before it’s made in order to get enough moolahs to actually record it. Nice thinking! Click here for her site. Musicians… don’t give up hope – get innovative! Local artist’s innovation opens new doors … for SA music industry Many talented young vocal artists are faced with the challenge of funding their first album, which can amount in South Africa to a staggering R400 000. This is forcing local musicians to be highly innovative in launching their careers. One Cape-based singer/songwriter – Verity – currently has interested parties in the local and international music industry watching her progress with a model that ignores the major record labels, but still launches her career, gives money to charity, involves fans and empowers other local artists. Verity has developed a unique business model that rests on the concept of pre-selling her album on www.iamverity.com to 5 000 fans or corporate sponsors on a trust basis, before she records it. 10.6 percent of every sale will be split between two worthy initiatives – People Opposing Women Abuse (POWA) and her Live Your Dreams fund for aspiring artists who lack financial backing. Once the 5 000-copy sales target is reached, a whopping R80 000 will have found its way into the charity coffers dear to Verity’s heart. Future owners of the CD also stand to win prizes from the Lucky Packet, the best so far being two R5 000 Intec distance-learning bursaries. Her business model has garnered much international attention, with a number of foreign newspapers and websites carrying coverage of her unique approach, and more recently, with a featured profile at a European business innovation conference in Copenhagen. Equally impressive is that of the seven hundred albums already pre-sold, buyers have come from 16 countries outside of South Africa. A further success is that a talented young jazz artist, Mimi Ntenjwa, has already been able to record a demo on funding she has received from the Live Your Dreams Foundation. Verity enthuses: “It is my intention to lend my voice and songs to causes I support.” Whilst Verity has lived and performed in Nashville & New York, she feels that she needs to make her impression in South Africa. “This is my home & right now I want to be here,” she says. “I feel privileged to be a part of such an incredible country and grateful for the limitless inspiration I find here.” Theo Crous of Springbok Nude Girls fame and producer of Verity’s...
