THORNROSE Battle of the Bands - 10th Round - Black Dahlia |
[ Read Article ] | By Now Black Dahlia has gotten to know me pretty well, to the point where I don’t actually pay, I walk in and smile saying “hidy ho” to all and they greet me by name… “big deal” you may say, but, I tell you, that recognition is recognition no matter whether it is for the idiocy that precedes you or the genius in your wake. If someone can respect you enough to use your name, then you have made a difference …. Haven’t you?? ** Perhaps perception is but a joint smoke away**

Everlast Tattoo Fest2 |
[ Read Article ] | This not too far out the way venue, was filled with biker from the event prior… and me in my demure way considered it to perhaps be the wrong venue as the signage pointing the way was non existent… perhaps the very cool couple of Danielle the tattoo artist, who reminds me so much of “Kat” from Miami ink on DSTV and Micky her ever attentive hubby who is the originator and organiser… should consider the “passing” crowds and lost revel seekers when it comes to signage…. But be that as it may as... read more?

Juggernaught - Act of Goat - ROAR Review |
[ Read Article ] |
 | Pre-event chills are settled solidly with the consumption of a Savana, a couple Castles, a Black Label and some other strange tasting brew... weird afternoon! Ring ring! Hola! We're moving, rolling into drive-ways and waiting for the inhabitants of the houses to surface. Somebody produces a litre of coke to which we add the rest of that nasty rum and bounce the bottle. Everybody knows the deal, Juggernaught are down from Pretoria and playing in a small spot renowned for awesome sound,... read more?
