Music News Highlights: 27 March 2017
We didn’t have any music news last week because of the faux long weekend and public holidays and everything, so here’s a collection of DOUBLE MUSIC NEWS! Featuring Tima Reece, Easy Freak, Depeche Mode, Zara Larsson, Len Muller, Apple Gule, Adventure Man, and Josh Kempen!
Josh Kempen puts on The Morning Show: A revealing rock ‘n roll record
Josh Kempen sped onto my radar pretty quickly. In the last year or two, I saw him play a solo show, heard he released an EP, saw his name on all sorts of festival line-ups around the country, saw him again and again with a three-piece band, got wind that Continue Reading

Capital Craft Beer Festival 2016 – Win Tickets!
The Capital Craft Beer Festival is a well-established annual highlight on Pretoria’s craft beer and live music calendar. And after last year’s great festival (but entrance & queueing problems), they’ve decided to break tradition this year, and move the event to the Pretoria National Botanical Garden. The Capital Craft Beer Festival 2016 Continue Reading
Mieliepop 2016 – what every festival should be
What’s the first thing you think of when you hear the term “music festival”? If you’re from Gauteng, it’s most likely dust. And crowds. And drunk youths. But then there’s Mieliepop. Beforehand, it looked like bad weather might intrude on the weekend. But the sunshine arrived just on time. A simple, Continue Reading

We went to Park Acoustics in January, and it looked like this:
