BEAST<\/a> are an incredibly raw and energetic band, so I was surprised when last I saw them at how much I really loved their acoustic performance<\/a>. They’re a band that understand that ‘acoustic’ means actually reworking the material for a quieter context and they really, really do it well.<\/p>\n

As a thank you to backers of their new album and their family and friends, the band held a\u00a0private\u00a0acoustic launch<\/a> of\u00a0Bardo<\/em> at the Cape Town Club last Saturday. The incredible venue perfectly matched their stunning performance.<\/p>\n

I’d never heard of The Cape Town Club before last Saturday and was really blown away that such a venue could exist – the unassuming exterior and location (just opposite St. George’s Cathedral on Queen Victoria Street) hides an enormous and stately building that feels like it belongs on a rolling lawn somewhere in America…they even have a fake bookcase door that leads to the basement bar and party area.<\/p>\n
