GIG OF THE WEEK
Shadowclub
Live – The Venue, Durban (tonight)
SHADOWCLUB are back in Durban and will be hosted at Live – The Venue tonight.
Shadowclub’s Goodbye Wild Child is more dynamic than the band’s debut and provides a showcase for their versatility.
Vocal harmonies and layered instrumentation give this album a rich texture and there are hints of soul in the chorus of Pray For Me, they explore the art of writing ballads in Mockingbird and Dirt and the Rubble, and even express a progressive side to the rock ’n’ roll genre in Suddenly.
“We’re very proud of this album”, says one of the founding members, Isaac Klawansky. “It’s mature and evolved, but it hasn’t lost the tight, gritty, urgency that is still the base of our sound.”
There is no doubt that Shadowclub have quickly become one of South Africa’s premier rock ’n’ roll bands, headlining festivals, clubs and venues across the country. They have been hand-picked to support some of the world’s biggest acts on their tours to South Africa.
Support acts: Meth Breath and MT Seas. – Tonight Reporter
• Doors open at 8pm, first band at 9.30pm. R60.
