Front women in YOUR LMG Magazine fold-out
The September 2010/spring issue of YOUR LMG Magazine, the free street-press monthly print title covering the local live music scene in Cape Town, has a full fold-out cover featuring eight of Cape Town's brightest burning, young female front women.
The cover was shot by up-and-coming photography artists Jonathan Kope and Jared Figgins, who translated their vision of a group of hard-working musicians on the road (albeit in a different era) into a striking image that tells the tale of an industry ruled by men, but sonically dominated by women.
Free CD
Another first for Cape Town music and for the magazine, is the inclusion of a limited-edition CD featuring one track from an as-yet-unheard-of Stellenbosch band called Stepdog. This is a unique marketing angle employed by the band's new management agent Apollo Artists.
Issue 41 also features: a list of the 40 Most Influential Names in Cape Town music; some insightful opinion courtesy of mystery blogger Joe Bloggs; the usual full-colour gig reviews; four new SA music CD reviews; a brand new band in Bandwatch; a venue map; and, of course, the comprehensive, pull-out gig-guide poster, listing all the best gigs in the Cape across September.
Pub quiz
The magazine also runs a weekly general pub quiz at The Shack (home from home for the Cape Town music industry), as well as its own live music concerts from time to time.
