Touring with Poverty of Ideals

Last month we were lucky enough to get to travel around the country with some of the raddest and most talented musicians in the country. We hired a big van, slammed some gear in it and hit the road for a double album launch with Poverty of Ideals to promote 'Chapters' and 'Barriers'. First stop of the weekend was Mercury in Cape Town. OhGod - were the support act for the night, and seeing as none of us knew the band or what they sounded like we were quite intrigued. and.... Oh! God did they impress us! They are a 4 piece instrumental band from CPT that know how to write some flippin killer tunes. Check them out HERE. We got to hang with the guys for a bit after the show - stella guys! It was so good to see some old friends and even some JHB people!

Right after a 4 hour nap, we left the cape and headed straight for Port Elizabeth - 'The Windy City'. After a long ride and loads of banter we arrived at what seemed like 5 star accommodation (Thanks Sebs!). It had been a little while since we had been to PE, so to chat to friends from a couple years back was quite a nostalgic trip but well worth it. Pool City brought a laid back party and some good vibes! A resident PE trio (whose name alludes me at this time of writing) opened up the night with some straight up rock n roll riffage, leather pants, and even a Jimmy Hendrix cover. They played a solid show and got the locals vibing.

Travelling around South Africa definitely feels like a privilege in the way we get to meet people and experience different cities. Thanks to everyone that came out and supported us in Cape Town and Port Elizabeth! Here's some images from the trip:
