HIGH ON BLUES: CD LAUNCH
VENUE: HIGH STREET THEATRE
DATES: 21 AND 22 DECEMBER 2000 AT 20H00
BOOKINGS: COMPUTICKET OR THEATRE 914 7030/1
ARTISTS PERFORMING:
BOULEVARD BLUES BAND
DELTA BLUE
VALIANT SWART
FROSTED ORANGE
PIET BOTHA
The CD "HIGH ON BLUES - THE HIGH STREET SESSIONS" celebrates the music performed at Cape Town’s Highstreet Theatre during its first year of existence. Although all genres of theatre and music are hosted by the theatre, the BLUES SESSIONS are particularly representative of the Highstreet Theatre’s passion in supporting and promoting the performing arts. All performances on this CD have been recorded live to disc, meaning that no subsequent re-mixing has been done, thereby capturing the vibrancy of the live performances.
Blues lyrics contain some of the most penetrating and revealing statements in the Western musical tradition. The absorption of blues into both jazz and mainstream pop music serves to prove its universal application in bringing about current musical styles.
This album sets out to illustrate the absorption of the blues into South African Music and to capture the intense personal passion and vibrancy with which musicians who have thus far performed at the High Street Theatre execute the blues. We hope that the High Street Theatre’s promotion of the blues enables it to make a whole new generation of music listeners aware of this great treasure trove of music.

REGGAE LEGENDS FESTIVAL IN SA IN DECEMBER
The Wailers, Culture, and Burning Spear will be co-headlining an
impressive international Reggae bill in SA on Dec 15, 16 and 17. BIG
Concerts’ ‘Home To My Roots’ Reggae Festival will be bringing these
well-established Reggae giants to their many SA fans and tickets are
available through all Ticketweb outlets. The other sponsors for this
event are SABC1, Good Hope FM, and Revolver Records.
Burning Spear (Winston Rodney) has maintained his status amongst
reggae’s brightest lights. His big year was 1976, which saw the releases of both ‘Marcus Garvey’ and ‘Man In The Hills’, two albums that are still regarded as roots classics. They were both produced by Jack Ruby (no, not that one...) with music by The Wailers!
The original ("Wailin") Wailers began in the mid-60’s and consisted of Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer. Island relaunched the group as Bob Marley and the Wailers in 1974, with no Tosh or Wailer. The exact line-up of the current Wailers is uncomfirmed. The vocal harmony group Culture, renowned for their seminal ‘When Two Sevens Clash’ cult album, still tour strongly under the leadership of Joseph Hill.
Those dates and venues are:
Dec 15 - The BIG Arena, Century City, Cape Town
Dec 16 - MTN Sundome, Johannesburg
Dec 17 - ABSA Stadium Outer Fields, Durban.

Steve Newman, Tony Cox, Syd Kitchen and Greg Georgiades will be bringing their guitar stew to Cape Town when they begin their extended stay at their old hunting grounds, The Troubadour in Kalk Bay from Thursday Dec 15 to Sunday Jan 7.

Newman respectively and the 14/15th of Feb, Kitchen/Georgiades), long

DURBAN NOISON
"Fruit Fly" Dave Campbell navigates the Durban Live Scene
JIMMY 12" @ BARGO'S
[24 November 2000]
Durban’s newest venue Bargo's has promised to become the elite live
music 'place to be' on Friday nights. The venue has secured some of the
finest lighting and sound available as a standard weekly feature
combined with a quality line-up of bands, excellent geographic
positioning and efficient friendly staff which collectively could just
position them in the forefront of live entertainment.
The first on the gig guide was Durban's own Jimmy 12". After a series of successful tours and much initial hype the band decided to prove they were far more than the flavour of the month and boldly promised a full venue with a capacity of around 1000 people (and ended up just a few short!).
Following their opening act Dr. Feel, the "Kings of Hype", exploded onto stage to begin one of their finest hours onstage with an adrenaline induced version of Nirvana's ‘Something in the Way’ which was followed by the band’s title anthem ‘Jimmy 12"’. Special guest appearances by Fruit Fly Navigators, Roly Struckmeyer and THC added fuel to the fire as those Durbanites present stood back in awe at what can only be described as pure rock entertainment.
The entire evening was transformed from a performance to a production of epic proportions. Seated in the director's chair was a grinning 12"
monster...
PISTOLFISH & SQUEAL @ BARGO'S
[1 December 2000]
For years Durban musician's have complained about the general lack of
support for the live scene in Durban. But all that is changing as
satisfied customers are now getting their money's worth at the prime new venue BARGO'S. Pistolfish started proceedings with their blend of Rock n Roll and teenage hysteria. The dynamic vocalist controlling the crowds with a series of groans and moans, creating more and more anticipation with every song.
Next it was the turn of Squeal. Dave Birch's quality song writing and
stubborn dedication to Squeal success has ensured their survival through difficult times and laid a foundation by example for the Durban music scene. Within seconds Squeal had found an immediate comfort with their stage and environment and track after track strengthened an unspoken communication with the crowd.
Squeal's latest offering ‘Begin’ is available for download on
http://www.friedjam.com and will be available in stores early 2001.

---------------
2000 & BEYOND - FOUR JACKS AND A JILL
Smug Music CD4JAC01
It's here, the new Four Jacks and a Jill album -- and it is entirely new even though some old favorites are included.
My conclusion up front: Four Jacks and a Jill perform some old favorites in new ways, and add some new songs in the wonderful and classic Four Jacks and a Jill style. Glenys's voice is as beautiful as ever and the clear sound makes her nuances more apparent. The brass and strings make for a full sound. This is a fully-realized Four Jacks and a Jill album.
The disc is divided into two sections, "The Classic Sound" has twelve songs, and "Dance Mixes" section has six songs. '2000 & Beyond' has over seventy minutes of first rate Four Jacks and a Jill and some old favorites remixed as dance numbers.
"The Classic Sound"
1. 'Master Jack' -- The pre-intro caused a trickle of dismay, then the
intro began and I realized it was but a clever beginning. When Glenys
started singing and the major instrumentation began I felt a thrill, "Yes!" They did it right! It's somewhat slower than the original, but that adds to the wistfulness of the melody. Beautiful version of a great song.
2. 'Africa Just Listen' -- A lovely and meaningful paean to Africa,
optimistic and loving, an appeal for unity and progress.
3. 'I'd Love to Write You a Love Song' -- Could be a love song, but is
actually a praise song. Is not a praise song a love song of sorts?
Glenys's voice sounds exceptionally fine on this one.
4. 'Hey Mister' -- An old favorite begins with a guitar flourish, then
jumps into the song. Lots of voices behind Miss Lynne's, and she sings with more authority than on the other version, which had nice innocence. It's good to have both versions of this song.
5. 'Smile' -- After the opulence of 'Hey Mister' this song sounds
pared down as it drives ahead with a simple and pleasant message that Four Jacks and a Jill are especially suited to deliver: Smile! Miss Lynne is very much in control of her voice here. I know, she's always in control, but she there is extra vocal variety in her phrasing here.
6. 'Timothy' -- I almost didn't recognize this song by the intro,
and that's fine. As with the other Four Jacks and a Jill songs redone here it is a new version, not a cover. They didn't mess much with the vocal of this classic, though. The instrumentation is wild and alive, and yet it is still the same song I hold dear. It's funny that 'Timothy' is still one of the shorter songs, though running a full minute longer than the original at 2:48.
7. 'Who's Talkin'' -- Rich production, very much a wall of sound. Miss
Lynne starts out tough-talkin', but the song's Christian message quickly becomes apparent. Wonderful and sincere. Are those cute
little interjections of "Me!" or "To me!" sung by Aimee Harding?
8. 'I Look Back' -- All right, La-las! I love the way Miss Lynne sings a la-la with perfect cheeriness. A happy song, and how can it be otherwise? Neat pauses occur in time with the lyrics about standing
still.
9. 'It's a Celebration' -- An upbeat gospel and dance number, as
celebrations often do urge people to movement. Miss Lynne moves ahead with a song on her lips, a glorious song for all people.
10. 'Jimmy Come Lately' -- A song heard with great nostalgia by many
South Africans, I'm sure. Too bad it wasn't a pop hit here, but
since I've known it for decades I can still share in the good
feelings it evokes. The feeling of new or first love comes through clearly in Miss Lynne's voice, and the good ole rock 'n' roll beat is accentuated on this great number.
11. 'Click Song' -- I wonder if Glenys is doing the clicks, or if
there is a stunt-clicker in the studio? I don't remember either the
clicks or the pennywhistle on the original though they may well be there. Sounds like Miss Lynne loves to sing this song.
12. 'The Warrior' -- Dramatic open with massed voices and power!
While Miss Lynne's voice has the beauty and lightness of a butterfly it
still matches the massed choir well and drives along with them, leading the Zulu impi determinedly to a really grand finish.
"Dance Mixes":
13. 'Master Jack' -- Through the years this song has etched its own grooves in my brain, but as a dance number... it works! The vocals convey the mystery and the enigmatic feeling the lyrics suggest. Four Jacks and a Jill don't mess with their canon except to treat their songs with respect, they neither change 'Master Jack' too much nor repeat themselves. No version matches the original 'Master Jack' in perfection, but the 1979 version and the two on this disc do the original justice and stand out on their own. Even if I didn't have the original planted in my brain by hearing it 1,000,001 times, I would still rate these versions highly.
The last words, "C'mon, Master Jack" sound slightly out of keeping with the song, and almost as if it's not Miss Lynne's voice. But that is no matter, the song is exceedingly well-done, as all of the Four Jacks and a Jill versions of 'Master Jack' are well and carefully done.
14. 'Smile' -- Four Jacks and a Jill do Euro-techno-disco? What a
pace -- I think I used to be able to dance this fast for over five
minutes, but now I just sway and bop. The music carries one away
into grooving with it.
15. 'Timothy' -- It's amazing to hear this song as a modern dance number, yet it's still the same great song, though sounding entirely new and modern.
16. 'Jimmy Come Lately' -- What an alive version, radically different with the busy music -- yet I discovered myself singing aloud to this after only a few bars.
17. 'I Look Back' -- Still the cute and innocent love song. If you want to hear two musical parts that should be at odds with each other (but aren't), listen to Glenys La-la-ing over a sassy dance drum and aggressive bass. The verse and chorus singing mesh and flow together without any thought that they should be odds at all.
18. 'The Warrior' -- Before I heard this I speculated: Is this
going to be an absolutely dynamic version of this song to close the
CD? This version is more dramatic, more haunting, than the one in "The
Classic Sound" section, with more up-front male voices. Instead of merely boosting the energy, they made the dance version more musical than expected with less chant and rock, but with lots of power. Give the people what they want, then do the unexpected. It's still Miss Lynne leading the song across Africa. Yes, a suitable big finish.
All of my first and subsequent impressions of '2000 & Beyond' are positive. Sure, I was predisposed to love this CD, but I also had the trepidation of "What if...?" This is a big and wonderful Four Jacks and a Jill album, a new album in all respects.
Three of the songs were penned by the highly-regarded David Marks, five by Harding-Ferrier (not counting the "Dance Mixes"). I enjoy all of David Marks' work, and, regarding Harding-Ferrier, I'm glad to see such a songwriting team for Four Jacks and a Jill. The Dance Mixes were done by Mark and Neil of Jailhouse Studios.
The production is full throughout: wall of sound, an orchestra of real
horns and real strings, and rock guitar and drums. And always Glenys
Lynne's voice. Like they said in the liner notes: "...to reform the group without Glenys was a non-starter." Her voice sounds richer and more experienced. The music of Glenys and the Jacks works well in both the classic and dance idioms.
I've gone on at length here, but there are plenty of surprises I
haven't given away. To conclude where I began: Four Jacks and a Jill
perform some old favorites, but they aren't content merely to repeat
themselves -- '2000 & Beyond' is a new album by Four Jacks and a Jill. This is a creative group and a creative singer.
Overall, I'd say that if one is a Four Jacks and a Jill fan,
this album is essential. If one is not a Four Jacks and a Jill fan
then listen to '2000 & Beyond' just to see if your once-cheery outlook is redeemable.

6.CLASSIC ROCK
----------------
BLACK POEM JUGGLERS - THE ASYLUM KIDS
released on CD in 1994 (Tusk, WOND 123), currently out-of-print
"Fight it with Your Mind" was one of those songs that sort of lodged itself into ones brain and never left. With it's sinister guitar and vocals it spirals around, dragging you into itself, at odds with the words as it's difficult to fight the song.
This is just one of the classic punk gems found on "Black Poem Jugglers" a compilation put together by the Asylum Kids and Benjy Mudie (practice for Retro Fresh perhaps?) Here are 18 hard hitting, hard rocking tracks. But despite the harshness of the record, this is never done to the detriment of tune. This is cleverly crafted punk music.
Listen to the quirky ska tinged "Girl Gone Solo" or the anthemic "Schoolboy" and you soon realise that you are listening to The Clash of the S.A. punk scene. Not just rowdy in your face noise that some punk bands tended to make, but it's an intelligent, politcally and socially driven compilation of tunes.
Robbi Robb's voice is angry but never out of control. It compliments his edgy guitar work and is ably backed up Dino Archon's rhythmic bass which add body to the songs. Drumming courtesy of Steve Howells completes the accomplished sound.
There is a dark side to some of the songs. "Johnny" is a particular example along with "Children of the Aethyr" (a previously unreleased track). The music on these tracks is haunting and foreboding. Not the kind of music you want to bump into in a dark alley. There are shades of early Cure and Bauhaus in these songs, but they never sound derived. As with other S.A. punk albums (especially Peach's "On Loan for Evolution"), there is a sound to it that distinguishes it from it's international counterparts. Lyrically it's the different social issues being protested against, but musically I think there are hints of township jive guitar that give the album it's different sound.
If you like raw, edgy rocky punk that maintains a high degree of tunefulness, then I suggest you seek out this album.

7. SHILOH'S CORNER
-------------------
LEE CLAYTON
Known as the outlaw of songwriters, Clayton gained reputation for writing songs for the inner circle of country music superstars such as Willie Nelson, Hoyt Axton, Waylon Jennings and Jerry Jeff Walker. Born in Alabama, Oak Ridge, Tennessee (Atomic city), he grew up listening to country blues. During the year of 1966 he flew jet fighters in Korea. In fact state of the art RF101 voodoo spotter planes nicknamed the widowmakers because a construction error causing the tail wings to tear apart.
In 1969 he moved to Nashville Tennessee and struck gold with a song he wrote called "Ladies love outlaws", a platinum hit for Waylon Jennings. His earlier albums developed a country edge and failed to capture the dying hippie market. Thanks to Phillip Donnelley, an Irish guitar picker, his released his border affair album which went to the top ten country and western charts. He was also ranked new male vocalist of the year. 1979 saw the release of his outstanding "Naked Child" album accompanied by his half breed wolf dog, called Elvis Firewolf.
Lee Clayton was seen as the Dylan of the eighties, with powerful and confronting lyrics, coupled by outstanding guitar and melody. The track, "I Ride Alone" had a brief charting in South Africa. The follow-up album, "The Dream Goes On" stimulated such powerful confrontation with the powers to be, that Clayton's disappearance in the late eighties created strong assumption that he had been removed by big brother. Clayton lived his songs and has now retired to writing books. Of note Bono of U2 has openly admitted he was the only country and western singer ever to have influenced him.
In 1989 teamed up with a group of Norwegians and toured the small clubs of Europe with a strong evangelical no nukes message. For those that have tasted Lee Clayton during the demise of the late seventies, he will not be easily forgotten, for true poets never are.

MP3s
I have never been onto the Napster's site, but I did go out and buy the Radio Rats album "Into the Night We Slide" based purely on the download of 30 seconds odd of "ZX Dan" from the SA Rock Files website. I guess that as long as whole albums are not made available, the musicians and record companies should have no issue. From what I have read, the CD single is a regarded by record companies as loss leaders. So why make the loss if you can get the promotion free of charge?
Cheers

WILD YOUTH
I came across the SA Rock Files quite by accident and ended up staying for a lengthy & nostalgic sojourn into years gone by. Being in my mid-30's, I've always wondered what happened to some of my fav artists from my "youth" - and your site has all the info and then some. I'm still a fan of "Asylum Kids" and "Dog Detachment", but search in vain for their CD's or MP3's ...

REMEMBER VINYL?
I am a Norwegian vinyl collector. I am interested in any electronic music. With this I include; Synthpop, New Wave, Keyboard Punk, Electronics, Industrial, Dark/Cold Wave, EBM, Minimal Electronic, etc.
I am also interested in information on all similar stuff. Feel free to give recommendations about music like this in your country! Anything is of interest, especially obscure stuff. Also, if you can recommend some other contacts, that would be highly appreciated! Send me your list, if you have one!
Furthermore, I have a friend who collects Vince Clarke (Yazoo, Erasure,
early Depeche Mode, etc.). He asked me to check if there were any titles available from your country.
Hoping for a friendly and helpful reply! Thanks!

LINCOLN
I wonder if you can help me. My husband Jack was a member of the band Lincoln (some 30 years ago) and I would really like to know if there is anywhere in SA that I could get copies of all (or as many as possible) the songs they recorded in the late 60's / early 70's. They can be in cassette form, old singles and LP's or whatever. His birthday is coming up in January and I would like to put together some sort of "memoir".
Any help you can offer would really be appreciated as I know he would be chuffed with it.
