Party on to July

Hey Guys and Gals,


Welcome to another post by The Awesome. So whats news and what has been happening. Last weekend, was definitely in the "whats happening" section. I did some shows with Jenna Sighed. Friday was Part 1 of The Battle for Woodstock. The Battle was held at Boston Rock Lounge in Edenvale and brought together a sweet selection of Joburg's finest. It has been a while since I have been at Boston's and noticed quite a few changes and improvements made. I also got to see some old friends who I have not seen for some time. The evening was truly nostalgic. For those of you who have not been here, it is one of the few venues with an upper stage for the drummer. I had the best seat in the house as I could look down on the band and watch people dancing, sipping on their beers and having a great time.


Saturday morning I had a photo shoot with the boys from Because of Betrayal. The lads are really cool guys and we walked out there with close to 400 shots. They were all prepared with change of outfit and instruments in hand along with some beautiful Albion amps. You can check out these edited photos soon on my Photography page listed below. They will be up in due time.


Saturday night I played with Jenna Sighed at the Doors Nightclub. Organized and run by Black Apple Productions, the show dubbed "Punk VS Metal" was a great success. The line up featured talented bands and the sound and lighting provided by Bomb Squad was mind blowing. I had my buddy there, Garrett Richardson. We set up a GoPro camera to get some "drum cam" shots. He also did some other shots of the bands as a whole. We are going to get this all edited and I will be able to show you all once it is completed.


Things really have been busy lately and I am looking at putting something very special together quite soon. I don't want to give too many details out now but when the time is right, I will let the cat out. This Saturday I am road tripping my way to Rustenburg. We are playing at the Step Up Club which I have never been to, but have heard awesome things. The last time I played in Rustenburg, I did two sets in succession with Submachine and Death Valley Blue Band respectively. It was on a Coca Cola truck and the party was intense. And no doubt, this will be the same (with the exception of the truck).


I want to give a BIG Shout out to my Endorsees, Music Mate for always being so kind and awesome to me. I can be found under their website now under their Endorsee list. And with next week Wednesday being my Birthday I am going to swing past their Parkmeadows branch and grab me some new toys !


Well that's it for this week from The Awesome. It is almost Friday and the weekend is here soon !
Have a great one folks !
