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!

Sharp As An Arrow

What happens when you take two girls and pip them against an industry that’s typically testosterone driven? Armed with nothing but a drum, a keyboard and a handbag full of devastatingly, honest melodies... you get the beat-riddled brilliance of The Arrows!



Pam de Menezes and Christie Desfontaine formed the band in 2006 and since then these two feisty, focused and incredibly talented musicians have been reshaping the way music is written, recorded and ultimately played.

Their debut album, Make Believe, bristles and bubbles with enticing and pleasing ease. Says Pam: “We’re not playing by the supposed rules of pop or jazz or even rock for that matter. We’re undefined by our band members, or lack thereof, because we are partnered to a sound that is constantly evolving rather than aligned to other musicians.”

Lovesick, their latest single, is currently Number 2 on the South African Top 40 national play list and is receiving more airplay than international singer Ke$ha’s Love Is My Drug.


The Arrows are currently on their second American tour and are due back for their Make Believe tour towards the end of November!
