The Flamjangled Tea Party
Mystical Delights and Ingenious Madness fitting for the month of March. Fancy a cuppa tea with that???
Unlike the Mad Hatters traumatic little event, this one promises to delight.
And so it shall. Prepare yourself for this is one event that bound to turn your world inside out.
Join the “madcap melody-makers, artists flamboyant, syrupy tea-ladies, freakish party animals, cross-dressing gorilla’s, candy-floss cowgirls, rooibos sippen diva’s, greased-up rockers, disco deviants, swingtastical jazz-cats, loved-up funkters, queenly kings, kingly queens, non-sensical amusers, trumpet blasting poodles, cupcake cuties, cookie-cutter mullets,betty crocker matrons, minge muffins, crimplene cookies, animal crackers, hot-but-not-cross buns, iced fancies, eccentric tribesman, afro-shaking mama’s, unorthodox greeks, harmonious poets, rubbish magicians, safari suited cubans and possibly that smelly family dog too!” and enter a world beyond imagination.
As you may have guessed this is more then upper nosed high society cradling the finest china. However there are recommended behaviours to observe.
For instance the actual act of tea drinking is a highly sophisticated art form and if therefore more refined then your usual cuppa tea. However this isn’t a pinkie in the air kind of affair…so kudos to creativeness and originality. What would the world be without it?
This is your weekend to let out your inner child and run wild. (Terms and Conditions always apply)
SATURDAY IS FOR PLEASURE & SUNDAY FOR LEISURE & THIS IS HOW WE ARE TOLD THINGS WILL UNFOLD:
THE TEA GARDEN is open from Saturday morning till late and hosts The Great Waltz after sunset. Sunday will present Le Picnic as we continue to shift sideways through a relaxed daytime party aimed to uplift and leave you feeling fresh.
NIGHT TIME once darkness descends and the nightly creatures come out, your options still twinkle. Saunter over to the Munged Bean Shebeen and get caught up in some late night shenanigans, or cut yourself a rug at the Pyjama Party.
THE GREAT WALTZ is your chance to be part of a World Record breaking attempt! Bring your partner, or grab one there, as an esteemed dance teacher shows us the moves to use as we attempt to break the world record for the largest coupled Waltz.
So there you have it… and knowing this lot* they are bound to dazzle and surprise you with gift wrapped wicked afterthoughts.
See you there.

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. |

Interview: Tall Order
It’s cool enough driving out to catch your favourite band, but stumbling on a rocking act actually beats that 6-0. So imagine the surprise of rocking up at a busy open mike night on one of the coldest nights of the year to find four-piece guy-girl rock outfit Tall Order taking charge.
We catch up with Theresa Janse Van Rensburg (Vocals), Tamsin Bosch (Bass), Vincent Redelinghuys (Drums) and Neil Broers (Guitar) for a few minutes after the show as part of Overtone’s Upcoming and Independent music month of July (win a website!).
How long you been together?
Theresa: Two years
Neil said one year.
Teresa: Well technically, Tamsin and I were jamming together
Tamsin:…three four years ago…
