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.
