Levi’s Young Guns goes Boxing
When last did you get your musical kicks in a boxing gym??? We’re giving you nearly a month’s notice about the Levi’s Young Guns event in July featuring the awesome Japan and I and The Kicks… Jozi’s getting colder and colder, except for the first floor of a corner in Norwood where, on Thursday the 24th of July, the heat’s going to be turned up until it reaches boiling point. This is not a fire warning, it’s an invitation to check out the next Levi’s® Young Guns show as it blazes into town, complete with two hot young acts that are going to let off some steam by going straight for the jugular. Japan and I are joined by The Kick in a Boxercising Gym for another evening of fierce rock and rolling. It’s another instalment in the infectious wildfire of independent music that’s been engulfing the country since the tour got started in May. Come get burned. In less than three years Japan and I have made an indelible mark on the local scene with an infectiously uncompromising approach to making music. They’ve put the grrr back into grrrl rock and continue to push boundaries with their indescribable, upbeat blend of ska, punk and do-wa-pee-do. Comprising of three high school friends who share a taste for musical deviance, stylish outfits and big performances, they’ve won hearts and blown minds with mesmerising live shows that combine up-tempo antics with exquisite compositions. Inspired by life, Japan and I have already made a global mark, winning an LA Music Award. But they’re most at home, at home. So don’t miss out on this opportunity to dance to a new sensation. The Kick are good. They’re better than television and UFOs, are violence and sex rolled into one and sound like life…and death. This manic foursome are 100 percent Jozi and totally original. Blessed with the rare ability to build crowds up and then tear them down with distorted guitars, screaming feedback and rich, dark writhing rhythms, they leave a trail of exhausted fans and post-party chaos wherever they perform. Theirs is a psychedelic mix of infectious grooves, blues rock fury and experimental jazz, all mashed together, mixed up and thrown back at ya with a fury and venom that will knock the hardest hardballs back. It’s a rough ride rocking with The Kick, but it’s so, so worth it. Date Thursday, 24 July Venue Boxercising Gym Address 1st floor (on top of Spar) Corner Grant and William Streets Norwood Time Doors open round 20:00 Price R20.00 Contact Annelie Hoffman @ 012 327 6601 / 6163 Tickets are available from the Levi’s®...
MTN DURBAN FASHION WEEK: Gavin Rajah
Yip, we’ve got this year’s MTN Fashion Week in Durban covered, so keep reading Represent for our updates as the excitement unfolds… Thanks to Aarif and Daniel for Representin’… Gavin Rajah – Irreplaceable CLICK HERE for our Fashion Week Flickr site to view some of our photo’s of the action. More to follow. Mademoiselle Coco Chanel once said that in order to be irreplaceable, one must always be different – a philosophy that couturier Gavin Rajah has fully embraced in his Spring/Summer collection unveiled in the 2008 MTN Durban Fashion Week. Aarif Saib was there to witness Mademoiselle’s philosophy taking form on the catwalk… The anticipation for Gavin Rajah’s collection has created an atmosphere of euphoria amongst the audience of mainly celebrities, fashionistas and journalists who had gathered to be mesmerized by Rajah’s métier. Titled ‘La Belle Dame Sans Regret’, Rajah drew his inspiration from Elizabeth Gilbert’s novel ‘Eat, Pray, Love’ – a story about a woman in search of love and purpose. He describes his collection as ‘romantic…and it’s really about a woman traveling on her own and finding love…with pieces to suit her every mood…from being contemplative to being a sultry temptress.’ This season has a multifaceted approach: from cotton and silk voile dresses to soft suede, from swimsuits to knitted cotton cardigans for balmy evening, and not forgetting the renowned Rajah cocktail and evening pieces. His use of exquisite and exotic materials (silk dévore satins, cashmere, knitted bamboo and mohair) gives his outfits a forbidden fruit feel, a decadence that we must all indulge in. Rajah further adds a touch of masculinity to this season by including a few separate pieces for men. The show also highlights his philanthropic activities with UNICEF as a Goodwill Ambassador. Gavin Rajah truly embodies Mademoiselle Coco Chanel’s philosophy this...
