The Time Flies celebrated their album launch with a massive dress up party at the Blah Blah Bar. It was chaotic and cramped and a whole lot of fun; I really enjoyed the music and will definitely look out for the band in the future.
Here are some shots from the colourful night.
Though I didn’t see them in concert, I did see Iron Maiden leaving Cape Town last Friday afternoon. My shots of Ed Force One were all super boring so I decided to metal this one up a bit \m/
Though I didn’t get to see the real Iron Maiden when they played in Cape Town, I did get o see an awesome local tribute show a few days before. Technology was against me that night and unfortunately both my sets of flash batteries died on me a few minutes in to the show…since ROAR‘s lighting isn’t my favourite without flash I went with a moody black and white album for the night, which I don’t do often so that was fun too.
Anyway, here are some shots from the night.
I’ve been wanting to check out new post-punk/indie band Dangerfields for a while and finally got a chance when they played EVOL/Hectic on Hope two Saturdays ago along with The Fizz Pops.
I have a soft spot for anything vaguely post-punk, so while they’re new and feel a bit like they still need to find their sound, I’ll definitely be keeping an eye on Dangerfields in the future.
I don’t post many album reviews, mostly because I struggle to find the time to put them together. As it is I’ve been sitting with this one since the end of last year, and though I really enjoyed it, I couldn’t quite get into the headspace to truly appreciate and dissect an album called The Winter Switch during the relentless heatwave Cape Town faced last Summer…so I let the months drift by, and the air grow colder…
Autumn doesn’t really exist in Cape Town and the seasons seem to transition quickly and messily from summer to winter during April. Then along comes May and it’s undeniably winter – I always find that sudden change quite amazing…I’m not sure what exactly Tape Hiss and Sparkle‘s titular ‘winter switch’ refers to, but the phrase definitely came to mind during the first cold days of May.
