The Latest - Manuvah To Land

For our first time at Zulu Jazz Lounge, we're definately convinced that it won't be the last - what a vibe!! With only a third of the audience we're used to performing to (it being a school night and all) the energy produced by the group in the intimate setting was awe-inspiring!

This is definately a venue with pizzazz! Luna Lounge's Debbie was there with the reggae act we supported, The Meditators, with her funky lumo-green poi which she gracefully sported on the open dance floor, creating a care-free vibe synonymous to the music of the evening.

Thanks to Morne' for the awesome job you did on the sound - from where we were, the rhythm, the melody, and the harmony of the four on stage painted a pretty colourful scene, really complimenting each of their talents.

We do recommend the venue if you're in the mood for a relaxed, cozy yet cool, chilled out place to hang out and listen to good music. Its cosmopolitan and cultured, and we met alot of foreigners taking some time out to emerge themselves in the heart of Durban's music scene (even purchasing some of our demo albums - thanks for the support guys!) Oh and ladies...the Cosmo's are AMAZING!

So come catch Manuvah To Land there next time when they embrace the stage again on the last Thursday of April - details will be put up shortly. In the meantime though, Manuvah To Land will be performing up the north coast for a change at a backpacker lodge in Mtinzini (see gig list for details).

* Peace out *

Jack Daniels Jamming!

What a jam session we had on Saturday night (21 March 2009) with Jack Daniels, Society, Slingshot productions and our mates, Pocket Change.

The gig kicked off at 10pm with Brandon Hunt's Pocket Change, performing their all-original fusion reggae, ska-punk, Sublime-inspired sound and lyrics, written and produced by Brandon himself, and dressed up by a hip-hop rapping and beatboxing duo, featuring Pasgenik Makatini. Together this eccentric team have created an authentic genre for the Durban music scene - Acoustic Hip-hop. Brandon will be performing at Splashy Fen 2009 with the famous Syd Kitchen - be sure to catch them in their Friday night slot @ 8.30 in the marquee. Listen to Syd's new song - click here

We'd just like to thank Pocket Change for opening the stage on a good note, and setting the tone for a musical evening tributed to the best of Durban's fresh fusion-reggae-rock artists. We had a great turnout so thanks to all who joined us for an evening of nonconformist mayhem! Peforming all the songs you've come to love and know, including a fresh and new addition to the line-up, and of course not to mention Scottie's presence for his rapping interlude to 'A Thousand Eyes' (which went down just as well as the Jack Daniels was), and finishing off with the help of Brandon - the Sublime hit, What I Got.

Thanks to those at Society for offering a novel venue to showcase the best of Durban music in what is set to be a great music festival with the support of Jack Daniels. For more on the Jack Daniels sessions @ Society, click here.

Manuvah To Land will be opening up the stage for reggae band, The Meditators on Thursday evening (26 March 2009) at the Zulu Jazz Lounge (corner of Smith and Albany, next to the Playhouse -parking in the Albany Parkade just off Albany street). Come join us for an evening of smooth, soulful Durban culture.

Tuff Masters open up for Manuvah To Land (M2L)

Manuvah To Land (M2L) rocked it out with local upcoming reggae band, Tuff Masters led by Kuwi Msomi. This amazingly talented family band of 4 played their first gig at BAT centre in 2007, and blew the crowd away at their first live performance at The Office in Warner Beach last Saturday (March 14 2009) where they opened up for M2L, boasting the superb drumming skills of Msomi's youngest son of 7yrs old.

For those of you who were lucky enough to attend the gig, the fan pics can be found in the sidebar.
