3-4 April 2009 | Cape Town International Jazz Festival
The Cape Town International Jazz Festival has proved many skeptics wrong. When the organisers launched the event in 2000, many felt that the event, like other previous attempts to have an annual international jazz festival on the African continent, would fizzle out. In April 03-04, the festival which attracted 33 500 people this year, turns ten.

July 2008: Upcoming & Independent Music
In the month of July 2008, Overtone is focusing on Upcoming and Independent Music. This means if you’re in a band looking to get noticed, you’ve found a good spot.

The music industry is more about hard work and contacts than having a couple of good songs. Overtone aims squarely at creating a platform for upcoming bands to create a name for themselves. In a word: professionalism.
Submit a proposal
So keep an eye on the editorial content this month. We’ll be hitting the local spots. If you’re interested in getting reviewed, noticed or interviewed on Overtone, send a proposal to admin@overtone.co.za. Make it fun, creative and get our attention. Your act begins way before you even get on the stage.
For example:
“Hi guys. We’re a metal band based in Cape Town trying to get a major publishing deal with SONY/BMG so that we can get private learjets and invade Australia. We’d like you to come check out our gig at the [insert venue], and we’ve put Overtone +4 on the list. Bring your friends.”
