kidofdoom @ Fuel this Saturday
If you haven’t caught kidofdoom‘s entrancing light sabre musical treat, make sure you get to Fuel this Saturday night 31 May 2008 for a sublime twist in the Unsound system line up – 9pm, R50 gets you in. No lyrics from kidofdoom – just some of the most hauntingly addictive, unclassifiable non-vocal music around. They come to UNSOUND SYSTEM with an open-minded approach to songwriting that transcends the obvious whilst rocking dancefloors. It’s epic, hypnotic, groove-soaked, driving, dark and uplifting – all at once. And it’s a sound that has turned South Africa’s indie scene on. Big time. We’re so super excited that this truly innovative band is playing, and welcome a shared attitude towards musicality – one that disbands convention in the quest for something truly original. Keeping your dancing shoes busy either side of kidofdoom are resident groove-riders Offbeat and Dexterity, armed with loads of wonky, wistful, weird and wonderful delights, and the klassikist who debuts here with an illuminating mix of 80s-retro-alt-pop-counter-culture-unclassics. Head in the clouds, feet on the ground: dance time! And to top it off Sassquatch is on visual duty, bringing his sharp eye and impeccable taste to the VJ booth. Home = boredom. Fuel Café = untold...
