Catch GOLDFISH in Jozi
Word of a cold front coming in from the East will not hold Jozites back from partying and appreciating all the awesome live music events in and around our city. Catch Goldfish in Jozi on the 7 October – who knows, by then Spring may have given up it’s relentless teasing and we’ll have sunshine all the way to December. Here’s hoping. Cape Town’s Jazzy-House exponents, Goldfish t… ake on Rocka (old colour bar) at 44 Stanley Rd, Milpark on Saturday 7 October in a blatant attempt to annex more asses into their own groove republic. Life in Cape Town is SO hard, They have to come and play in JHB With their debut album, “Caught In The Loop” receiving rave revues all over the country, sold out shows everywhere they go and a massive reputation for professionalism, party animalism and sheer old-times style enjoyability, Goldfish are the live dance act to see, to be seen at. With their singles doing well on radio, a video on rotation on TV and mobile downloads going through the roof, it’s only a matter of time before Goldfish ascend to dance-floor heaven. In the meantime, the 7th of October is your chance to be on hand when it happens, or at the very least, witness this phenomenon live before they are taken from us! On the night they are joined by house DJ legend and general man-about -town, Shaun Duvet to get you in the mood before and after the fish are due to swim. The Details: Saturday 7 October Goldfish with Shaun Duvet Venue: Roka, 44 Stanley Road, Milpark (old Color Bar) Telephone: 011 728 8417 Admission: R70.00 Doors: 8pm...
We love Edgars and the Bassline this summer!
The Bassline never stops rocking and summer is officially here, no better evidence is required than a look at the line-up for the next Edgars Music Series event taking place at The Bassline on Friday 6 October Brickz Hidden Force Somizi and Fuzigish will be harassing the mic for your pleasure! DJ’s Mond… e and Soul T will back up the live acts and it’s going to be steaming! “The best part about the Edgars Music Series is that we are dealing with an audience that loves music, and loves to see good new stuff all the time. We mix it up and cross pollinate, and the crowd just loves it!” said Tracey Turner, Edgars Sponsorship Manager. “This month we are putting on a kwaito act, a hip hop act, a ska punk band and a couple of club DJ’s. There’s a bit of everything here and it is going to be an awesome party!” Brickz needs no introduction to the Edgars Music Series as he performed successfully in 2005 and makes a welcome return. Hidden Force are making waves in the hip hop community and looking to cross out of their niche to make some noise for the general public. In their own right, Ska Punkers Fuzigish is an enormously successful rock band with a huge underground following. Add actor/performer Somizi into the mix and you have a heady mix that has PARTY written all over it! As usual, the Fashion Police will be on the prowl looking out for the best-dressed guys and girls and rewarding them for their efforts with prize hampers from Adidas. From start to finish, there is nothing like the Edgars Music Series Bash at the Bassline. Brought to you by YFM, with the support of DJ’s, musicians, fans and media all mingle and get down in a total celebration of South African music that has no rival in Jozi city. But bear in mind that the demand for tickets is going through the roof! So make sure you book at Computicket, or get there early to avoid disappointment! The Edgars music Series at The Bassline: The only place to be on the first Friday of every single month. That date: Friday the 6th of October That damage: Tickets available at R60 from Computicket and R50 at the door! So? Umeleni? Tsamoreka tekete...
