You are invited to one Super Sassy Weekend!

2012 has probably been my most un-DJ-ey year since I started playing records for people back in '05. Don't get me wrong, I've had the chance to play a couple of great nights this year, but while the quality has been there, the quantity has been pretty low as far as Sassquatch DJ sets go. With this weekend however, it feels right like I'm back in 2006, playing 3 shows in as many days; prepare yourselfves for The Super Sassy Weekend!

Tonight, at Linden's Amuse, I'll be teaming-up my main-man Nathan Scott Phillips to play the debut of a brand new dance party called Like!

RSVP here!

On Saturday afternoon it's a SMAC-double attack! I'll be DJ alongside SMAC's first prince of wonky-pop Vampire9000! If that weren;t enough cause of excitement, the two of us are only a small part of a lineup that includes Yo Grapes, A Skyline on fire, Spookwolf, Dr Khumalo & Yesterday's Pupil! This dream team has been assembled by the lovely wolf-creature known as Doktrine, who will be celebrating the launch of the brand new PERMANENT incarnation of their incredible DIY store, Die Skim Grot!

RSVP here!

Then, this Sunday it's another sunshine session, this time 12 stories up in the sky over Maboneng! I'll be joining a great collection of acts, including Cape Town's Beach Party and Jozi BFFs The Frown. Feiyue have been kind enough to invite us to play the rooftop The 12 Decades Hotel! This is gonna be fun-overload!!!

RSVP here!

Beach Party Go Trippin!

 
Cape Town's ultra-loveable guitar-squad known as Beach Party are making their way up north! The band have a stellar set of dates lined up - if it's within your power make your way to every one of these events because they're all gonna be great!

RSVP here!

To summarise, the band are starting with a DJ set at Bob Rocks tomorrow night.

Then they're joining the ludicrously good Make Overs in the ludicrously divey Bohemian in Jozi!

Then they'll be supporting the Tutus, launching their mega-anticipated third album at Pretoria's Arcade Empire!

Then, as the final date of the tour, the band will be back in JHB, playing an afternoon set on the rooftop of the 12 Decades Hotel! The sunshine show will also feature The Frown, Shadowclub, DJ Invisible and me, donning my fuzzy Sassquatch suit!

The Frown: Metallic Kiss

Last weekend we threw a wee launch party to premier the latest music video by The Frown. And here it is!



It's been released as a product of our animation company Cool Your Jets. That said, I sadly can not take an ounce of credit for this one, since the entire thing was animated by the overly brilliant Matt McFarlane. BUT the great news is all 3 Jets will soon be combining our creative-powers on a full trilogy of narrative music videos for the band! This forth-coming intergalactic adventure is also been produced by James Carrol, who worked with us on our video for Vampire9000 and will be shot by Justin McGee, the same wild stallion that shot the above awesomeness!

And in other Frown news; my creative-genius girlfriend Nanna has drawn a poster for the band, and it is like totally the one of the most awesome things my eyeballs have ever seen:

You are invited to Metalic Kiss

 This Saturday we're planning something pretty special;

Metalic Kiss is a party centered around the release of a brand new video by The Frown. Animated by Cool Your Jets wind-surfing legend Matt McFarlane, it's a pretty fresh, bizzaro creature that we'll be screening at Mash on Saturday.

On either side of that we'll have a whole bunch of awesome going down; The Frown will of course be performing as well as SMAC favourites Vampire9000 and Yo Grapes. Between the live acts there will also be DJ antics from Casioheart, Duchess, DJ Grace Jones and your friendly neighborhood Sassquatch.

I can't wait for this!
