Don’t Miss: The last Party People at ROKA this week…
Sadly the fabulous indoor/outdoor venue ROKA is closing down as apparently their lease will not be renewed… So many of us have kicked back at some of our best Jozi nights out at ROKA, lapped up some superb live performances and induced some of the worst cocktail hangovers… Anyone that attended a Party People will have fond memories of one of Jozi’s best party nights… this Thursday is the last time Party People will take place at ROKA and we urge all the Party People to be there! Party People congrats and we wish you an even better next venue. Change is often a good thing. On a brighter note, Cape Town Party People will feature the divine ZUBZ, do NOT miss this Cape Town… see below.
Dj Kenzhero Presents Party People 3rd Anniversary
Feat: Kwani Experience and Special guests
Johannesburg
25th July 2009
This month, the month of July 09 is both bitter and sweet. The sweet part is that this month we, Party People; Dj Kenzhero and the people of the Party People celebrate 3 whole years of throwing and enjoying possibly the greatest Hip-Hop event to ever hit Jo’Burg City, and I say this with confidence. The bitter part is that Party People and Dj Kenzhero see the last Party People to take place at Roka, I know it’s hard to swallow. But, Dj Kenzhero could not let this affect the musical act Party People would feature this month. It took Kenzhero a while to finally decide on who will perform the last live performance at Roka and still do our 3rd anniversary justice, and along came the thought of Kwani Experience. But why Kwani Experience? Kenzhero the hero thought whom better to translate the history of Party People through music than Kwani Experience? They’ll be doing a set “with the cliché twist”, says Kwani’s spokesperson Po Box, “There’ll be new songs, favorite joints; fused with surprises and surprise acts. We don’t wanna reveal much, but expect some of your favorite acts who have performed at Party People in the last three years.” “We might also do a collaboration with Kenny, we haven’t done it since 2005 so it would be nice…just come to the show words sometimes can’t explain music”, Po concluded. And well with all that said come and join us for the last dance at Roka Lounge, situated on 44 Stanley Ave Milpark. Tickets for this one will be sold at the door for R100. Doors will open at 9:00pm. See you there! For More Info see: www.myspace.com/partypeoplesa or www.myspace.com/kwaniexp
Cape-Town Feat Zubz the last letter
Zula Bar, Cape-Town
24th July 2009
Last month Zubz threw an outstanding performance with his live band at Jo’Burg’s Party People and this month he moves on down to visit the Cape-Town crowd. This dynamic Zimbabwean emcee honestly knows how to put on a show, fusing his older tracks with his newer tracks making sure that both old and new fans get their fair share. His carefully thought out lyrics make his performances more than just a show, they tend to reach out to the softer side in you, for just a couple of seconds, and then allows you to go absolutely ballistic within the music. Come through to Zula bar, 194 Long Street Cape-Town, on the 24th of July and join Mr Last letter along with Kenzhero the hero himself and have a Party People; hell even sing along if you want to. Doors open at 9:00pm and entrance is a give away at R50 a shot. See you there, then. For more info log onto www.myspace.com/partypeoplesa or www.djkenzhero.blogspot.com
