Superglue

Went to see a good friend's album launch last night at the New Space Theatre on Long Street.
Awesome venue by the way - very much still in the construction phase, the Space is a four story Art-Deco monstrosity that used to house one of the great theatres of the eighties. It will be re-opening at the end of the year with Sondheim's Assassins musical (which I auditioned for but didn't get in).
All of which is an aside to Ian Henderson's Superglue album launch - awesome setup, awesome gig, great album (listen to some of the tracks here: www.ianhenderson.com).

One of the things I love about Cape Town is the social nature of this city. I love that almost every night there are bands playing somewhere within a 15 minute walk. I love how prevalent independent artists are - that there are so many great bands and solo-artists out there that are financing their own productions, recordings, gigs and albums.
So go check out Ian's site and buy his album - this is the future of music, artists taking over from the studios.
