#BOTTOMRIGHTCORNER | THE FILM EDITION
It’s the weekend of the Oscars — happening Sunday, 24 February — so we decided that this week’s #bottomrightcorner should be about memorable music and moments in film. It’s a selection of songs, so engrained in pop culture through the films they featured in, that they’re sometimes impossible to listen to without a mental cinema...
#BOTTOMRIGHTCORNER – FEBRUARY WEEK 02
Psychedelic rock is a genre that thrived in the mind-altering 1960s and — although it has survived until today — is often swept off the street by the overpowering mainstream. This is especially true in South Africa, where the music industry has had to fight its way through various historic hurdles. Psych rock is nonetheless...

#BOTTOMRIGHTCORNER – JANUARY, WEEK 02
Make sure your groovin’ shoes are polished, you’ll need them for this week’s bottomrightcorner. Since we interviewed The Ratrod Cats, Th’ Damned Crows and The Vodun Haunts last week and posted a piece on CT’s ’50s revival scene, we decided to make it all about rockabilly, psychobilly, whatever-fuck-a-billy but most importantly move-a-bility! Including tunes from...

‘LET’S ROCK THIS PARTY LIKE IT’S 1955′
A lot of us will know Them Tornados. They’ve had many of us swing our body parts about at the one or other Cape Town show. Sadly, their sound — rockabilly — has always appeared to be a rather isolated venture in this city. With more and more bands that loosely fall into the psychobilly/rockabilly...
