This powerful 4 piece rock outfit is getting ready to blow some serious hair back...and even if you don't have a single hair on your head...something is still gonna blow. This is pure 70's hard rock with a modern Progressive twist, a dangerously high dose of musical instrumentation and a good smattering of smoky Blues sauce to round off this delicious original rock recipe.
No prisoners are taken when Jesse 'The Pitchman' Jordon pulls his 3 octave voice from the back of his throat, holds it up high like a winning trophy and then punishes it into the outer realms of rock mania....
Richard 'Pebbleman' Pryor stands right beside him injecting fretboard shredding Carpel Tunnel syndrome into a High octane display of guitar wizardry that's guaranteed to keep you guessing until the final pinched harmonic stops squealing.
Sitting thunderously on his throne at the back, Kevin 'The Emo Cowboy' Gibson embarks on a complex 7, 13 and 11/8 time signature journey. Huge shards of solid Sharp astral Fragments made up of splintering snare drum and cymbals are flayed across the stage as he wields his weapon of Drum Destruction...
Rob 'The Gatekeeper' Stemmett lurks ever tall in the back with Bassline catatonia....
Glueing the pieces back together, that 'Emo' Kevin pulled apart, while building rock solid foundations for great stories to unfold...So get your rocking Booties down to Die Boer and come get a piece of the Pebblemania.

Be sure not to miss conceptual wildlife artist John Moore's current show at the SA Print Gallery. These particular works have never been exhibited in Cape Town before. On show are a selection of John Moore's woodcuts, etchings and lithographs.
John's exceptionally detailed and realistic works are depictions of wildlife and the poignant plight of endangered species. This is at a time when there is urgent need to change our attitude to the environment and nature, which John feels passionate about. His style contains elements of surrealism and traditional naturalism which merge into thoughtful reflections of our age. John believes his work assists the viewer to find their own interpretation and allows the work to speak to them personally. The imagery often includes references to the Khoi-San - which he believes are the ‘first people' of the Southern African continent. This evocative body of work is where the human and the spirit world meet. To read more and see more of John Moore's work http://printgallery.co.za/

Tonight Neither Hamlet, features Guy de Lancey with direction by Chris Weare, who recently received the Fleur du Cap Lifetime Achievement Award.
A comic look at what happens behind the theatre curtain from the perspective of one of the forgotten characters of theatre, the curtain puller. Pushed front and centre by a co-incidence of occurrences, he reveals what the audience doesn't see, and at the same time, some of his lost dreams and ambitions in the world of theatre. Funny, poignant and entertaining.

Oscar, the world’s famous adopted mutt, and his owner, Joanne Lefson are once again championing the cause of dog adoption with the launch of their most original adventure to date, The Pedigree Adoption Tour.
The national tour will see the infamous duo taking to the South African skyline in eight cities below the belly of the world's largest dog – a dog-shaped hot air balloon fondly called 'Oscar Maximus’. At 40 meters in length and a body mass of 260 kilo’s, Oscar Maximus has substantial weight to throw behind the campaign-and it’s not just hot air.
Along with the help of Pedigree and South Africa’s leading radio networks, the larger than life campaign is ready to raise much-needed awareness for underdogs.
Be sure to catch Oscar Maximus and the team!

Your pet could be just what the judges are looking for in the SPCA Royal Canin Mutt & Meow of the Year online pet photo competition, which runs from 10 April to 21 May 2012 and aims to help hundreds of homeless pets by finding the most-loved and adored cat and dog online.
An adaptation of the Cape of Good Hope (CoGH) SPCA’s popular Mutt of the Year competition, which was held annually for 15 years, the new online competition makes it possible for many more dogs to stand a chance of winning the coveted Mutt of the Year title and for the first time gives cat-lovers an opportunity to brag about their feline friends in the new Meow of the Year category.
Unlike traditional pet competitions which reward dogs and cats with fancy pedigrees and pure-bred characteristics, the SPCA Royal Canin Mutt & Meow of the Year will celebrate the unconditional love and special companionship between pet owners and their canine and feline friends, regardless of their breed. The competition also aims to help hundreds of stray and abandoned animals not as fortunate as those being entered for the titles of Mutt & Meow of the Year, by encouraging pet owners to get their friends and family to vote and donate online to the CoGH SPCA.
The four competition prize categories include the Mutt of the Year and Meow of the Year, which is open to all cats and dogs and the Mutt Top Fundraiser and Meow Top Fundraiser, which will be awarded to the pet and owner who through their votes raises the most amount of money for the CoGH SPCA.
