Full Moon Alternative Lounge - Menlyn/Pretoria - 4th September 2009 |
[ Read Article ] | Indietronic Spring Bash
This alternative venue, tucked so nicely away in the Hazzelwood Suburb in Menlyn Pretoria area is certainly, for me a cliché in the making….. an oasis in the desert… ( Actually I got so fukkin’ lost, my joint was the only thing that focussed me enough to find this hidden little gem.
