Welcome to my blog!

For those of you who don't know me; I'm a scatterbrained ex-journalist with a passion for music - specifically local music. My mission on Music'nStuff is to share album reviews, gig reviews, interviews, gig guides, etc. with you - with the hope that my love for music will at least rub off on some of you so we can support South African music the way it deserves to be supported.







Please feel free to contact me - and tell all your friends about Music'nStuff! After all: they say music is a universal language, so spread the word!

Long Way From Home

May 2011 will see the release of Taxi Violence's first unplugged album, or at least, the closest thing to unplugged as Taxi will ever get. Long Way From Home can be described as modern vintage. All the tracks on the album are reworked versions of songs from Untie Yourself and The Turn, except for three new tracks. The tracks were re-arranged and stripped down to fit into a more acoustic, unplugged format.

This album will be perfect fireplace and red wine music to heat up the winter. As the guys put it, "Light the old fire, pour her a glass of red wine and play Taxi Violence's Long Way From Home. If you don't score with those 3 ingredients, you won't ever."
All shows are unplugged / semi-acoustic
