It is The Awesome here again for another Awesome post. My last post was entitled "Party on to July". And July has definitely been that Party. The beginning of the month started off with a bang as Jenna Sighed and myself roadtripped our way down to Rustenburg. We had a show at the newly formed Step Up Club. Wesley our bassist and myself took a ride in Dirty Sanchez (My little Tata). So with our bags packed and cars loaded we left on Saturday afternoon, the 7th. The two hour trip went quickly what with my metal compilation disc turning and our conversations changing subjects we finally arrived. Rustenburg is such a great town and the main reason in my eyes is the friendly people. After our arrival and the unpacking of gear we went upstairs to the venue and were presented with a huge band room to set up our gear and keep all our hardware bags and cases there. We played the show and Wesley and myself tackled the road back to Jozi. It truly was a magical show !
A day later I received a call from my friend Zam Boney. A lot of you may know him through the Slashdogs or Carniwhores but for those of you that don't know. He is currently jamming for Jet Black Camaro. Now this band knows how to rock. Their drummer Fano had to work last Friday in some one horse town and could not make the show at the Bohemian. So I got a call to stand in and "dep" for them for a one off show. The show featured The Stellas album launch for their new EP, Live Charge and consisted of Black Math from Durban. In preparation for this show, I had one week to learn 10 songs from their set. We had a rehearsal to run through the tunes on Wednesday and Friday right before the show. No pressure :) I got the 10 songs down with their structure, feel and tempo. Then just the little problem areas such as counts from one pause to another and when do I come in and we had it down.
Friday night was a great party filled to the brim with rock n' roll, dance moves and honey.
For things to come, I am doing a show with Jenna Sighed on the 28th July. It is an Emalyth show - The Apostle's Lament. Rumours Lounge. I am pasting the facebook event at the bottom of this post.
Also, in the pipeline is two photo shoots for Donovan Fourie (from Energy Related). He is going to be launching some solo vibes too. This will be called The Don. Very interested to hear this and be a part of the photography team.
That's all for this week from The Awesome. Thanks for reading this and hope to catch you at a show, a shoot or someplace else
PS. Thank you to everyone for the lovely birthday messages, wishes, presents and hugs ! (For last week)
