Nakhane Toure, the boy who silenced Wolves

-

I dont know how many of you have been to Wolves in Corlett Dr? Its one of my favourite spots, there is good cake, delicious beer, fun art, pretty people and good friends. It is however not an ideal venue for live music, it must be one of the most difficult places in Jozi to play. People dont pay…

To Hire a Nurse

-

I saw these guys about 2 years ago, I remembered loving them then and going online to hear some more. I found the odd song on Myspace and that was it. There is a track hiding on Youtube which you can see here. Perhaps it would be fun to read this post while listening to that track?

I was thinking over the weekend how to express the music they make and how it makes me feel.…

Ah Tattoos

-

my joy, my addiction and my Aesthetic vision.

-

There are so many tattoo studios in Johannesburg that it becomes difficult to choose one that will do your tattoo the way you want it and in the style you want it. The best advice I could give is to simply ask people in the street who have great tattoos where…

When I was a child we went there on school outings and I remember my neck killing me from looking up, whilst sitting on excruciatingly uncomfortable chairs made for adults. Now as an adult I am excruciatingly uncomfortable on the chairs as I am too tall for them. I…

Through the kind invitation from Neofundi I was treated to Barista training at the Università del Caffè del Sud Africa situated in the Illy Head office.

Illy is staffed by some of the friendliest people I have had the pleasure to meet in a business environment. The Barista tasked with…

For the first review of 2012 I am breaking my rules, slightly. JoziReview is supposed to be all Jozi all the time. 

-

EP may seem very strange. Burial is from London and his new EP is dedicated to New York. I find it very difficult to listen to Street Halo and not think of Jozi. There are only 3 tracks which all clock in at over 6:20 which suits me fine, I like slow burning songs.

The first track Street Halo breaks most of my rules for music I…
