The Skeleton Crew's
Invisible Cities gigs have been the freshest new events to pop up in Joburg this year. Celebrating our awesome city by bringing together two very different musical acts and presenting them to people in new, undiscovered parts of the city every time, the past events have been nothing short of inspired. But i cna quite safely say that the concept for this month's instalment out does anything else the Crew dreamt up in the past;
Loop technician, Skeleton Crew founder and all around good-guy, Joao Orecchia recently bought himself a small radio transmitter. From the rooftop of The lister building, he's been using this to broadcast Invisible Cities pirate radio across the CBD. Now, using it for something even more awesome, he's creating his own rock and roll drive-in for one night only!
This weekend I'll be down in Cape Town, totally gutted I can't be at this. I trust you'll enjoy it on my behalf.

This Friday Eyes Like Mirrors will be making our return to Pretoria! It's under rather great circumstances, celebrating the launch of PostBox Online, and joining a pretty stellar lineup. What's more, the visuals for our set will be something pretty damn special. We'll have multiple projectors running, with my usual animations going up alongside those of the night's resident VJ; Flux. Should be something really special and different.
