Local band, Red Huxley is comprised of three young musicians from Cape Town who have been working hard to make their mark in the industry. Last year, Red Huxley met Dave Catching from Eagles Of Death Metal. They were brave and cheeky enough to hand Catching their music, asking whether he would be keen to produce […]
Apparently “Call Me Maybe” goes with almost everything. What happens when you pair nineties industrial rock band, Nine Inch Nails with teenybopping Carly Rae Jepsen? Harmony, actually. PomDeter’s Call Me Hole may not be music excellence, but it is one of the cleanest mashups you’ll hear for a very, very long time. And… Here’s the original NIN […]
And legally, we might add. If you were waiting with bated breath for David Bowie’s new album, we have good news for you. The highly anticipated album titled The Next Day is now available for streaming on iTunes. This pre-release is available for a limited time only (which is annoyingly unspecified) but at least you can decide if […]

Moving House’ debut/self titled album is one which every ‘Hipster’ on Kloof Street – sporting a denim shirt, bowler hat and a pair of skinny jeans with a skinny Caffè Mocha in one hand, an iPhone in the other, has been anticipating.

Oh it’s so bad. There’s not much more to say, except for “Your team, Pretoria.” [Source : @ArthurJones]
After a long school or work-week, there is nothing better than planning a Friday night outing to a club with a few friends to unwind and blow off some steam. I can’t think of one person in my circle of friends or even acquaintances who doesn’t like watching a live band, whether it be a […]
One of the few things pretty much everyone in the world knows about Jamaica is that it produced Bob Marley, who sported the world’s most famous dreadlocks and also made some music you may be familiar with. Kagiso’s decided to get serious about his little Jamaican documentary and so he’s taken his crew to the […]

As Anthony Kiedis takes to the spotlight this evening, we thought we’d bring the topic of his tattoos to the table. Even if you’re in the golden circle tonight, you’re still not going to be close enough to see the detail that makes up his numerous pieces of body art. Here’s a helpful guide, so […]

A photo of Justin Bieber groping a fan’s breast has surfaced online, and is causing quite a storm in a bra cup.
I’m nearly finished Anthony Kiedis’ book, Scar Tissue (audiobook) and totally see why everyone raved about it – oh my God, the guy shouldn’t be alive. I’m so amped for the concert! Here some pics of Kiedis and Flea taken just last week!
You’ve endured so many iterations of PSY’s Gangnam Style music video – some good, but mostly awful. This one is the best yet. Possibly better than the original. That’s fairly special. I promise, that’s the last one you need to watch. Created by YouTube user, Etoilec1, this is just another example of something excellent no […]
This morning we reported on Chris Brown and Frank Ocean’s alleged fight last night outside the Westlake Recording Studios in Los Angeles.
