Right,
I'm really writing this as a means of testing whether or not "Posterous" is as clever as it claims to be.If it is, I should be able to post this note and attached video to all sorts of different accounts via one email. Which is, to be fair, pretty smart. I shot the video on my stills camera at a concert in Jo'Burg on Saturday night. It was a bit loud, so the audio distorted horribly - I've tried to edit some of the band's stuff over the pictures but do yourself a favour and get hold of their first album - caught in the loop - it's on i-tunes and it's tremendous. The band are "Goldfish", a house/ jazz act from Cape Town who are beginning to make a big name for themselves internationally. Talented musicians as well as very slick DJs, they play double bass, sax and flute live without missing a beat.
They played Glastonbury this year, then festivals in Moscow and Miami before returning to SA. They're a couple of really unpretentious young guys who clearly love what they're doing. When they come home they are as likely to play small bars/clubs as the big venues they could easily fill. We saw them in a garden centre on the outskirts of the city(!). It was a bit like going to see Paul Oakenfold at Dobbies! And what's more, an hour or so after they'd finished their set, I found myself dancing beside them in the middle of the crowd. Anyway, it was a tremendous night. We had feared we'd be the oldest swingers in town, but that wasn't the case. As ever at these events, no-one really cares how old you are or what you look like, as long as you're enjoying yourself. I think we left around 3 but it's all a bit blurry. Lots of things to cringe about the next morning, which is usually the sign of a good night out! MG
