Dogbox turns one

Line-up

* Matt Suttner
* Moejoe
* Doctor Khumalo (also his birthday)
* Nathan Scott Phillips

We want to give back something, so if you bring old clothing then we will donate it to charity and you get R10 discount on entrance.

So: R30 if you're lame, R20 if you bring clothing for charity.
