Robertson Re-Launch Parties at Bohemia

Robertson Winery are celebrating the re-launch of their “Boks vir Sports” box wines and they asked DPK to help them organize the parties in Stellenbosch’s Bohemia.

The 6th of August sees the interdimensional sound pirates, Mr. Cat & The Jackal, taking the stage for their well known multi-instrumental grooves, rowdy lyrics and raucous performance.

The princes of party, The City Bowl Mizers, will be descending on the town on the 13th of August, to ensure that the party goes well into overdrive.

Entry will be free, and wine will be sold for the ridiculous price of R25 for 2 boxes.

After having met on a bus headed for a doomed festival next to the Orange River in ‘05, Captain Stu and Zinkplaat have regularly played and toured together and kicked up mean parties and backstage jams across the country.

This time it’s to Captain Stu’s crib, Cape Town, to jam together at Zula bar on 13 August.

Entry: R30 before 10pm / R40 after 10pm

With their debut full length album, Cutting Heads, flying from shelves, The Pretty Blue Guns are a blazing through the country showing their fans what all the hype is all about. Missing their flight back yesterday confirmed what their partner in crime, Adriaan Louw’s, photo’s hinted at. On and off the stage, the tour has been epic.

With their official album launch in their hometown of Stellenbosch’s Aandklas, just around the corner, the band won’t be slowing down yet.
