Last but not least – DURBAN it’s your turn
Getting in just before the rest of us descend on KZN for sun, fun and year-end madness, Levi’s turns it’s attention to Deben and blesses them with a stunning line-up. By the way – how hot is Arno in this pic? Levi’sý Vintage Sunday’s comes marching into Durban for the month of November, turning Sunday nights at Society into a destination of choice, as the music massive like their tunes to be to… tally local. And they won’t be disappointed with no less than ten of the country’s top acts taking the stage for week after week of rocking madness. Its fast, it’s furious it’s totally free. So make sure that in November, you save some energy for the last few hours of every weekend. It will be well worth it. It’s been an amazing ride. Levi’sý Vintage Sunday’s has travelled the country since April, spreading the local music word and getting the crowds down to support South African talent with a series of gigs that have blown perceptions away, hair back and people off their feet. In November, Levi’sý Vintage Sunday’s coasts down to Durban for this year’s final month of musical madness. So if you’re in the area, make sure you catch the last chance to see some of our best acts for free. If you don’t manage to, then know that you’ve missed out. Up first on the 5th are the inimitable duo of Arno Carsten and Albert Frost. This meeting of musical giants with a whole lot of soul is bound to entrance as the boys take you through their personal take on blues-infused rock. It’ll be unique. Showing support on the night is Baz Corden, an eclectic artist whose optimistic musical charm is quite simply infectious. Farryl Purkiss oozes up to the mic on the 12th, delivering an unusual mix of vibrant vibes set against lush minimal drums, bass and dreamy guitar solos. He’ll take you to that place you want to be. Love Jones start the evening off with their energetic mix of pop-laced, vocal-driven power. The 19th sees a true pioneer taking to the stage. It’s Steve Newman’s turn to entertain with his carefully constructed melodies and haunting delivery. He’s got a history to share. Come feel it. In support are Guy Buttery with his unconventional guitar and percussive techniques, and Nib van der Spuy whose intricate soul-searching arrangements find their way into every heart that hears him. Closing it all off on the 26th are Mzansi’s favourite fun-funksters. It’s Tumi and The Volume, and this crew is going to lay down their smooth mix of root styles, and lay them down...
GOLDFISH in Japan and Dubai
You lucky fish. You know it’s Editorista’s dream to go to Tokyo…Guess she’ll have to keep living it vicariously through fabulous superstars like Goldfish. Pass the news on to all your friends in Dubai and Japan that the GOLDFISH boys are on their way and ready to entertain! MoshiMoshi! Cape Town based Jazzy House duo Goldfish are making steady in roads into the international … scene. With a visit to the UK and France under their belts earlier this year, they have now been invited to perform in Dubai and Japan. “Word is getting around out there obviously,” remarked David Poole with a grin, “And we are only too happy to oblige! This is what all bands dream of happening, so we are stoked to have the opportunity to play in foreign countries and spread the word about our music. Hopefully it going to lead to more of the same as well as bigger and better things!” The duo will be playing in Dubai in November, and Tokyo in December. This is all happening in the midst of the success of their debut album, “Caught In The Loop” and the pre-production work for the bands second album. “Its true that we are busy starting to get the second album together,” remarked Dom Peters, the other half of the duo, “But when opportunities like these come knocking, you lock the studio door behind you and you go and play! Playing overseas is a huge priority for us, as the 1st Album is starting to make real in-roads overseas now. We believe Caught in the Loop deserves our full attention before we release the next album, so the real work is only just beginning&the world is a big place – and we’ll show them a thing or two about how South African bands party!” Goldfish is a totally independent band that has released their music themselves, with a distribution deal in South Africa through Kurse Music and an international publishing and distribution deal through Black Mango Music in London. The successes they are achieving both at home and abroad are down to nothing less than the band’s own hard work, a total commitment to quality and massive self-belief.

Catch Taxidermie tonight and tomorrow
TAXIDERMIE Contemporary dance Tuesday the 24th and Wednesday the 25th of October 2006. At Wits Theatre, 8pm Price R70.00, students R10.00 on presentation of student card. Limited seats available. The creation of ý Taxidermie ý in Maputo is the third step of a project of French contemporary dance company Projet in situ involving four cities: Mexico city, Montrýal, Maputo and M… arseilles (the 4 M). How does a city allow us to live, think and create? The 4 M project starts with this simple question. 4 M as in Mexico, Montreal, Maputo and Marseille: the four cities where Projet In Situ has carried out research (choreographic, visual, anthropologic) on the intimate, urban existence of local artists. Intimacy of the city, human messiness, recycling of gestures, trajectories of nervous systems, dead ends to change &.To set out on a journey to meet a city, to encounter its infinite quantity of gestures. The first stopover was in Mexico City in 2002, then Montreal in 2005,a third stopover in Maputo in 2006. In the city, in this public space par excellence, the everyday intimacies of each individual and the collective body rub against each together. This physical duality is at the heart of our choreographic research. How to perceive and forget an environment that is influencing our perceptions? If one is convinced that the senses have their own vast memory that allows for the re-emergence of memories, of emotions, of early gestures then a question emerges of ‘how to rediscover ones’ own ‘seeing’?’ To see what remains when you forget to look, what we might invent without a mirror, seeing without looking, touching without actually touching. Here we envisage the body circulating within city in its various states within its everyday journeys. The urban space is understood as a collection of personal routes to be taken to keep the city circulating, designing corridors of movement, one way streets, and bodies creating obstacles to their own momentum forwards. In the city of Maputo, French, Mozambican, Zimbabwean and South-African artists have been searching for traces of memory, forms of forgetfulness, revealing bodies impregnated with those urban, intimate and collective memory. In Maputo the city failures became like excavation sites. By confronting oneself to these spaces, one could design the structures; feel the shapes, the surfaces of spaces, buildings, sounds and bodies. A radicality, a physicality, an intimacy close to one could have with one’s skeleton has aroused out of those elements placed side by side, their reflects playing one with another.
