Halloween With aKing & Van Coke: What’s It Like?
It was all doom and gloom at Assembly on Halloween and not in a bad way either. Guys running about in sparkling silver dresses and combat boots, Marilyn Monroe drag queens, KISS wannabes and of course the obvious bruised and battered Frankenstein brides all made an appearance. Assembly went all out, lining the walls with cobwebs, dismembered dolls and creepy blood-covered toys. If judging by appearances, this was sure to be the party of the year. Or perhaps not.

What Ticks You Off About SA Music?
|
At some point, everyone who’s forced to rely on performing for others for their bread and butter has had a rant about the state of the music industry, be it here in South Africa or abroad. So here’s a tasty discussion thread from a Facebook group entitled ‘What Pisses You Off In SA Music Scene?” Comments below, or on the original thread. Raw and unedited, from the mouths of SA’s most pissed off fans, bands and venue owners. Comment…Ok, here’s one thing I have to constantly deal this with being a host of shows and never get bar takings. In 1991 – 1992 Woody, myself and a few other friends had a club open in Goodwood off all places. Called The Attic. We were short lived as we constantly had the NG Kerk with Bibles protesting on the pavement with cop vans there every night to arrest the “undead”
Now guys, we managed to host band nights a few times… I have the flyer up on the Subterania Page of this. One night we hosted Raven Wolf who were a shit hot kinda folk metal band who actually included Fuzzy the fiddler etc of Lark [RIP] The second band was Slay Ride who were a happening band doing Metallica kinda style metal. 1991 – Our cover charge was R8 for 2 bands. Beers have increased from R1.25 a beer to R10 a beer but the cover charge remains poor. Once I was chatting outside to Paul from Sugardrive who were playing at the Purple Turtle with the Dolly Rockers and the cover charge was R5!!! A beer then was about R4.50. I saw about 20 people turn back not wanting to pay R5 to see 2 good bands. I know the economy is very bad at the moment, but this has been coming for years now. |
