Two Door Cinema Club (who are they again?)

Two Door cinema club is one of those thousands of bands that came out of the indie rock explosion of the mid-2000's. so if you don't know them, it's ok. However it seems that South Africa has a crazy fan base for bands that are considered average everywhere else, so the 5 gum sponsored event of Saturday night had them headlining. The band was as expected, seeming really grateful for the response they got from the crowd. In a typical one-hit-wonder-band stunt they left their BIG song-"What you know"-for the end of their set, which got everyone overly excited for finally recognising a song.

However, regardless of the music, this party was INCREDIBLE thanks to 5 gum going out of their way to find the most AMAZING venue in Cape town and throw the best party we have been to all year!

Cars were left at the airport and shuttles of (Pep double-decker!!) busses transported everyone through Nyanga to a derelict building lost somewhere. The sound quality , the feel of being within a broken down industrial space covered in amazing projections and some seriously cool light installations made everything perfect...except for the music. This would have been amazing for a 90's revival rave party, and the organisers seemed to realise that as they played all rave hits before bringing on TDCC. Who, it must be mentioned, sounded alot better live than expected (thanks to the amazing sound).

So let's just hope 5 gum blows up huge in SA so we can have more cool, FREE parties like this with something different everytime!

Cool people doing good!

It's really great to see how many people out there are putting time and effort into helping others out- be it children, animals or just anyone less fortunate than themselves. Especially when these people are creative and talented individuals and are offering you a way to help too, whilst having fun! There are a number of fun events coming up that are doing just this, as well as two special guys who are helping in a new kind of way.


The Birdsnake Tour - Trailer from Purple Productions on Vimeo

The Birdsnake Tour involved a group of German and South African skateboarders, traveling over 4000 kms through South Africa. Along the way, in between skating, they collected and handed out clothes, shoes and skateboards to kids living in the poorer areas between CT, Jozi and Durban. There is also a video! It will be premiered today at 6pm at Clarkes on Bree Street. The skaters will be there, plus there will be a mini ramp session. Should be cool!

Looks set to be a great gig. Check out the facebook event here- Kudaladala 2: Fundraiser Gig

PATRICK JARCKAWAY from Vangers & Jollers on Vimeo.

Lastly we have a very special video to show you. Cape Town creatives Chris Auret and Paul Ward, under the collaboration of Vangers & Jollers, have taken the time out to make a really awesome video for an artist called Patrick Jarckaw. This man is from the Congo and he works as a car guard off Kloofnek in the CBD. he is a rapper, musician and a charming soul, but has little opportunities to make connections in the industry, for obvious reasons. Please spread this video around and lets get this man a microphone!
