Saturday
\n1 June
\n2013<\/div>\n

There had been warnings all week that a huge storm was to hit Cape Town on the first weekend of June, and the warnings had been right. The rain was almost relentless and Saturday was was a night to be spent at home under a warm blanket – not a lot of gigs could have persuaded me otherwise, but Fox Comet<\/a>‘s album launch was something that simply could not be missed…<\/p>\n

\"Fox<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\"Grassy<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I know I’m easily annoyed and complain a lot, but I soon found myself listing annoyances on Saturday night…first off, like I said, the weather was awful. Secondly, I really don’t like Zula<\/a>…admittedly my main problems<\/a> were with the upstairs and I haven’t been up there in ages<\/a>\u00a0but I still hate shooting there. Added to that was the fact that the stage was lit by just one light…and it was red, the worst…and I have the sinking feeling that that might have been deliberate to tie in with Fox Comet’s ginger theme (ranging from the decor to the ‘Ginger Ninja’ cocktails and ‘Fox Comet’ shooters available at the bar).<\/p>\n

\"Zula's<\/a><\/p>\n

So I wasn’t in the best headspace while Al Bairre was on<\/a>. They’re young, very good and make solid, well-structured music, it’s just a little too summery for me sometimes. Their new music video is loads of fun and worth seeing if you’re not one of the 15 000 who have already done so.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\t\t
