Formerly the Cape Town World Music Festival, the newly renamed Cape Town Nu World Festival took place at the CT city hall last weekend. The lineup featured an exciting mix of local and international artists from countries including Zimbabwe, Austria, Namibia and Turkey.
I’ve been fending off flu for the last few months but unfortunately it got the upper hand on me last Friday. I got to ROAR early, found a dark corner (which wasn’t hard) and zoned out till the bands started – luckily it turns out a night of headbanging and shredding was exactly what I needed and by the end of the night I felt a whole lot better.
Here are some shots from the truly epic night featuring All Guns full ammo and of the course Infanteria.
A while back I checked out Sol Gems, Mind Pool and current favourites of mine Sakawa Boys at Psych Night at Manila Bar. It was a really cool night, here are some shots.
Stelth Ulvang of American folk stars The Lumineers recently completed a tour of Southern Africa that included festivals in Mozambique and Swaziland as well as a bunch of shows around SA. I caught two of his last shows – the City Soiree at the Youngblood Gallery on Saturday and the Secret Soiree at a house in Woodstock on Monday. Both were really lovely – here are some shots from the two nights.
Manny Walters launched his EP Anecdotes to a packed Blah Blah Bar last Saturday. It was my first time at the venue and I really enjoyed it, plus the music was great.
Here are some shots from the night.
