The Loerie Awards are back in town and its time to party on Upper Long Street Long Street. If you don’t have that gold ticket join Creative Cape Town at its party overlooking the action. Get your name on the guest list and get down with African Dope Records, Peroxide and Mahala.
Long Street will be heaving on the 2 and 3 of October when the Loeries delegates hit the streets after the Loeries Awards ceremony events – so come and enjoy Long Street at its busiest and best either with Creative Cape Town or on the streets below.
African Dope Records is an independent record label based in the City set up in 2000 by the renowned beats n break DJ/producer Krushed and Sorted. It made waves with its colourblind and bass-heavy sounds and became the forefront of the alternative electronic scene. Check out African Dope.
From 12pm the evening goes Peroxide – this popular party bring you the best of the last decade before pop turned into corporate wallpaper together with the best of today’s synth wielding warriors…from Blondie to Blackstrobe, Gary Numan to Goldfrapp. Re-live a time when women were women and the men occasionally wore mascara, when doing the robot was acceptable in a nightclub and you could turn on the radio without fear of lobotomisation.
Mahala is a free SA music, culture and reality online magazine promoting freedom of thought and expression. Check it out on Mahala – Thought is Free! Who can you Trust?
Fiction is a DJ bar and lounge on 226 Long Street, since 2006. It is popular for playing underground sounds from “Indie, electro & minimal to liquid drum n bass, glitch hop, broken beats and beyond”.
RSVP to Bronwyn to get onto the guest list for the event – one person per email address only. Only punters with their names on the list get in free before 10pm, thereafter it’s R30 – guest list or not. So come early. RSVPing kills two birds with one stone – not only do you get into the coolest party with the best view of the Loeries Awards party (which you won’t get into unless you hold that golden ticket), but you will also then automatically receive Creative Cape Town’s great E newsletter once a month.
