Capetown

The Thirty Eights were totally cooking last night on Long Street. It’s a surf guitar boom time in South Africa. @kanecroudace and I went out to scope out the competition and had a frickin’ ball.

He’s not the messiah, he’s just a very silly boy.

Trinket gleefully steals my postprandial spot on the couch. It’s become her signature move.

Mr Crumb is a bit of an anxious boi. When he’s scared like now (there’s a jackhammer doin him a concern) he snuggles up with Skitten.

Cara Stacy and Nicola du Toit - the brains and hard slog behind the Betwixt Music project - providing a regular event for musical experimentation here in Cape Town. @cara.

@duma_ma. The highlight of a great evening of new and experimental music in Cape Town - hosted regularly by Betwixt Music. The only events of their kind here, so look out for them. @sophdex @cara.

Beautiful guitar necks with exotic wood fretboards and custom shaping @haywardcustomguitars in Woodstock, Capetown. The finest, made-to-measure instruments right here at South African prices.

It’s another super windy day in the blooming spring.

In Krakatoa’s first year, @sad_ivan left to live in England for a while on September 11, 2001 (I remember the exact date for some reason). So now I had to play all the guitar and he thoughtfully tabbed our this beautiful surf instrumental called, Roamin Bison, for me - and even added some helpful advice at the bottom. Good thing too, since both of us have long since forgotten how to play it. It’s on our soundcloud though if you want to search and listen.

It’s been a long day involving a frightening vacuum cleaner.
