Music Network Showcases The Best In Local Music

This October the very best South African-made music is set to soar when Music Network, a Breakout Agency initiative launches in Cape Town on October 13 at The Assembly, and ciulminating at Tanz Cafe in Joburg on Friday 14 and Saturday 15 October.

Consider seeing the hottest music properties, new and well established in two venues over three very special nights. Add two of the most influential names in international music - Worldwide Executive and President of EA Music Group for Electronic Arts, Steve Schnur and Pangaea Entertainment Group, A&R Worldwide and MUSEXPO brands-owner Sat Bisla, and what's apparent is everyone will be taking more than just great memories home with them after each show.

Schnur and Bisla's participation, expertise, networks and roles in the global industry will affect a potential reality shift for punter and player alike over this original and enterprising showcase series. Consider Schnur's part in bringing established stars, breakthrough new artists and award-winning composers to the various top-selling EA franchises. Add Bisla's rise from DJ to global music and media owner to each night's reveal, and it's patently obvious that this inaugural initiative is about to open a whole new world of possibility for all quick enough to buy in.

So, just who are the bands and groups invited to this exclusive assemblage? Cape Town's venue, The Assembly in Harrington Street is where Goodluck, Machineri, Taxi Violence, Pascal & Pearce and Louise Day will all share the stage on the opening night (Thursday, 13 October). Each band and artist will offer fans, new and discerning, something well worth seeing, hearing and capatalising on.





FLTR: aKING, The Graeme Watkins Project, Taxi Violence and Goodluck

  The unique series of showcases, under the Music Network banner, then heads south and makes Tanz Cafe in Johannesburg base for a two-night residency (Friday 14 and Saturday 15 October). On the first evening the city will get to shar ein the best from aKING, Plush, Laurie Levine, The Rescu and Michael Loman. The final evening sets the stage for The Graeme Watkins Project, Evolver One, Farryl Purkiss, Lonehill Estate and Shadowclub to excite their international guests and local fans alike. Fifteen bands and artists, three nights, and an opportunity to captivate crowds caught in this rare spectacle.

Expect to spot music retailers, media, event coordinators and promotors between the curious and fiercely loyal fans lucky enough to buy a ticket before they sell out. If music moves you - full, part or play time - invest in a night or three in an experience set to profile the ever-evolving SA music scene like nothing before it.
