FALLING MIRROR | THE VITAL ROCK ‘N’ ROLL REVIVAL
It was with great fervour for a fiery rock ‘n’ roll show that our team left the rehearsal room of recently re-united ’80s rockers Falling Mirror, who many might remember from the radio hit ‘Johnny Calls the Chemist’. Having been a so-called ‘recording’ band whose musical knack has been swept to the gutter by South...
#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...
WELCOME TO THE FOBE HOUSE | A SPELLBINDING SILENT TALE | PART II

To erect a building is to predict and seek effects of contrast and linkage through which one passes (…). In the continuous shot/sequence that a building is, the architect works with cuts and edits,...

The city of love has been frozen in time. Seen only before in black and white and imagination, these photos taken by accomplished brothers Auguste and Louis Lumière show a Paris of the past. By using Autochrome Lumière technology, people, places, streets, architecture and fanfare from early 20th century life are illuminated.
#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...
San Remo Group Show
Many a Capetonian may have come across the run down yet beautifully mysterious white washed house that has the words ‘San Remo Guesthouse’ written on its walls in Krynauw Street, Gardens. Situated in the hip hub of the Mother City, it seemed about time that it ceased being a crack house and went back to...
