Groove Theory

It’s been on the cards for a while and finally in 2008 it has come to fruition! The first groove theory event kicks off on Saturday the 26th of January at the RiverClub in Observatory. So after a long day of strutting your stuff at the Met, why not join us for a healthy dose of solid house music laid on by some of Cape Town’s finest DJs including Craig de Sousa, Erefaan Pearce, Lester Batchelor, Ian Brink and Jason Stoffberg. Lu Chase from the Iridium Project will also be performing a couple of her tracks live including Lu’s Control which is currently riding high on 5FM’s high 5 @ 5.

If you're an angry white male in your late 20's into metal, a band is looking for a singer.

The brief:

You:
25-35, good sense of humour, lank charisma, must drink beer and hard tack, must look the part, must tune lank, have strong opinions, must prefer the old south africa, must have own transport, must be angry, must be white, english or afrikaans, must be a total mental metal head to the core. Must like, listen to, be able to sing: Slayer, The Haunted, Snot, At The Gates, Lamb of God, Pantera, etc. No death/black metal.

We:
36, 37, 41, we laugh a lot, we have loads of charisma, we drink beer and cider mixed together and we drink tack mixed with anything or on it's own, we have strong opinions and we tune lank kak, we are english white people and we prefer the old south africa, we listen to Slayer, The Haunted, At The Gates, Lamb of God, The Refused, Faith No More, Machine Head, Billy Talent, Pantera, Carnal Forge, Snot, Alexisonfire, Deftones, Tool, Gallows, you get the picture.

We have access to the best studio and award winning producer in the country and will record our second full length album next year. Other than that we have nothing planned.
So if you think you can hack it and work with us, we will certainly give you a try and let's rock out.
e mail us your story if you are keen, and if you don't fit the description - don't bother us.

Anyone know when LLMoog is opening again? Or whats going on there? Seems quite sad just as it was hitting its stride.

anyway hope you all have great weekend, although i wouldn't mind going to Ibiza....

well just to break the silence from the dumbest robot ever hogging e-vent - BLEH

actually, it kinda sounds like william burroughs stuff to me...

check out the origin of tape loops by him.

@b. Skynet has become self-aware? If so, oh crap.

Bot poetry...a new genre?

a truly hilarious quote from dinkys hype / blurb / blah when describing how her broad range of sounds come together:

''something like a sun-dappled clearing in the woods''

ok then.

that would be 'undervalued'

now, now, Navs, i'll have no dissing of Mr Richards round here, ta.

if anything hes unervalued. it takes quite a bit of talent to hold down a residency at a place like fabric for a couple years...

wow, navs i think you need big cup of stfu, what is your town anyway?

I wish we had a club like that to complain about..

Someone fell into the cauldron of Hater-Ade when they were a baby!

Good riddance they booked the same overpriced djs who with there narrow minded thinking tend to not think beyond their’s and their mates record labels when playing, incest that ran the same gauntlet forever, recurring on an annual basis. residents Terry Francis, Richards anyone???...pretty overrated huh. Change is good; no one club should dominate the landscape. I hope to god this happens to an unORIGINal club in my town…with the winds of change blowing briskly into the sails it’s already starting to happen.

Long live Berghain with their dominant music policy and indestructible residents.

ditto - some of the best nights out ever!

tragic. some of my best club experiences ever at that place. Looks like Matter completely backfired on them. they had to pump millions into it to keep it alive and now its taken them down with it.
