RUDOLF DASSLER by PUMA presents THE SIDE-PROJECTS

Cape Town, South Africa 21 July, 2009 – ‘RUDOLF DASSLER by PUMA presents “THE SIDE-PROJECTS'” a series of unplugged concerts, in partnership with uber-cool Cape Town beer salon &Union.

Performers including Luado from aKing, Lonesome Dave Ferguson, Lance Herman and Josh Ginsburg from Fly Paper Jet, Wrestlerish and Richard Brokensha and Ryk Benade from Kidofdoom will perform a once-off set of unreleased material unplugged. The concerts will take place at 7.30pm every Saturday from 15 August to 19 September at &Union on Heritage Square.

 

The Lineup..

 

The cornerstone of the St Stephen’s Church redevelopment on Cape Town’s Bree Street, the &Union space occupies a section of the cellar in one of the cities oldest existing churches.

PUMA will install the PUMA Mobile Unit at &Union – the PUMA Mobile Unit is a converted for retail 20 foot shipping container, which takes inspiration from PUMA’s concept store design. The unit will be open to the public from 9am-9pm daily, from August 13 to August 15. The PUMA Mobile Unit will stock Rudolf Dassler by PUMA apparel, accessories and selected PUMA Black Label footwear that will be sold at special rates to commemorate this occasion.

Just to explain to the uninformed, Rudolf Dassler started Puma after a fallout with his brother, Adi Dassler, who went on to form Adidas. The “Rudolf Dassler” range of Puma gear is their premium stuff. So the mention of “special rates” above should be very appealing! Let alone the venue and bands on display!

You’ll remember my Dassler Jacket (here) and my latest CRAZY-WILD! high-cuts (here from 2oceansvibe Twitter) which I wear when I’m being all “street.”

YES, I can be street if I want! [folds arms and displays weird gangster hand signals] – don’t forget I did attend SACS junior school! No spice. I had a gang with Tromp and everything! You wanna test me? You want me to throw some names around? Sure – try Mrs Henderson, Brian Prehn, Mr. Campbell, Sirrell (and his “slaanstok”), Mr. Joubert (victimised me) and Mr. McEwen (both of them).

Nailed.

“BOOMALAKA BOOMALAKA WHAAH WHAAH WHAAH!!!”

See you at the concerts!
