Vintage lounging with Bed on Bricks at Jade

[David Francis] Two of Cape Town's been-around-the-block bands, Bed on Bricks and The Jack Mantis Band, played at the Jade Lounge in Green Point this past Sunday, 5 July 2009 as part of the annual Levi's 2009 Vintage Sundays. The gig started off with the cool bluesy-rock sounds of Jack Mantis followed by the ever effervescent Bed on Bricks. 8 Jul 2009 13:47

VCK and The Beams light up Mercury

[David Francis] Last Friday night, 29 May 2009, at Mercury saw The Beams open up for the ever increasingly popular Van Coke Kartel. It was a cold and rainy evening so I didn't expect a big crowd but was pleasantly surprised on arrival to see plenty of die-hard fans had made the effort. After a few foosball matches, and a few drinks later, The Beams kicked off the evening. 2 Jun 2009 11:59
