Four years ago Southern Wild went on the most quiet of hiatuses. Dave van Vuuren moved to Zambia (you know there’s a story there) and the band left a pretty notable space on our live scene that hasn’t really been filled. So imagine my surprise when last week I got the most casual of messages from good ol’ Dave telling me that they’d reformed and that they were playing two shows in June.
The Aandklas show last week looked killer, like one of those quintessential sweaty rock shows where you lose your shit and your shoes, and probably throw your name away down the line.
I’d like to believe that we’ll do it all over again this Friday at District, but that depends on all of you. I’m also super keen to see Conrad Birch on guitar for Southern Wild now. Throw in some Keanan Eksteen and Lost Youth and you’ve got a proper jol.
Grab those tickets now. R100 gets you in.
