Everyone is raving about these “Authentic Sessions” at Cafe Caprice, featuring local musicians and DJ’s in the DJ box, spinning tunes that they feel have been an influence on their music and their vibe in general.

340ml are playing tonight – apparently it’s gonna be “off the chain.”

Zebra & Giraffe on Friday (don’t tell The Muse, she’ll pee herself), DJ Fresh on Saturday and loads more.

Oh, and Ard Matthews from Just Jinjer is on the 22nd! Hating that! Maybe David Raad can plug in a mic and sing along?
