Cyberpunkers are hitting Assembly this Friday and we have a pair of double tickets to give away! All you need to do is click here and tell us who is playing. Competition closes the 5th of May, 4:20 PM!

The “Cyberpunkers” project is the child, born in 2006, of the passion for Cyberpunk culture of two young Italian DJ’s. The format aims at giving a fresh start to this style through four different yet connected forms of art: electronic music, fashion, design and photography. In a nutshell, a transposition of the Cyberpunk world in modern clubbing Through several performances at famous clubs, “Cyberpunkers” drew lots of interest and ended up being much taked about for both their original look, made of masks behind which their true identity is hidden, and for the originality of their shows, which are marked out by the use of two consoles at once and powered by several audio machines. Cyberpunkers shared the stage of the biggest electronic European festivals with such worldwide stars. Such a tight schedule did not prevent them from doing a lot of important remixes and singles.

It’s time to Disco this Friday at Assembly! Discotheque presents Double Destruction, featuring Shuffle Shame, Blush n Bass, Grave Danger and Enough Weapons. Assembly and Electrotrash are offering 2x double tickets for the party. All you have to do is email us and answer this simple question: Who invented the lightbulb?

First two correct answers will get the tickets. The party is this Friday in Cape Town, so please only enter if you can actually make it to the party! Competition closes Wednesday at 23h59… Good Luck!

So as I’m sure many of you know, Lark will be touring South Africa at the end of this month… here is the official press release from Griet Artists regarding the tour:

This tour is LARK’s once off return to SA after precisely 1 year since their last show at the 2008 RAMFEST. The band was approached by RAMFEST towards the end of last year and asked if Paul would consider doing a LARK show at the festival if they flew him back from the UK, where he resides now. The band jumped at the chance to play with one another again and hence decided to do a tour around this performance.

They have titled the tour “BRAVE” after the bands new single. LARK are also using this opportunity to release a live DVD of their concert held at the Pavilion Theatre in JUNE 2007 titled “A Dagger and a Feather” where they invited guest artists Johnny de Ridder (Fokofpolisiekar) and Kyla Rose Smith (Freshlyground) to perform alongside the band and a classical string section with VJ Grrrl on visuals. The stage was decked out in playroom props to emulate a children’s playroom with an eery look and feel to it. The concert was recorded in 5.1 surround. This is to date the most extravagant performance of the bands career in terms of the time and effort that went into this show to ensure first class showmanship and visual representation of the bands creative performance ideals.

Please follow this link for a preview from the DVD:

This DVD will be a double disk release with a LIVE audio surround sound recording of the concert with music videos and additional interviews with all those involved in the “A Dagger and a Feather” concert.

The DVD will be available for R150 at the shows.

The Tour

Lark will be performing the following dates:

• 28th FEB – RAMFEST, Main stage
• 5th MAR – Tings en Times, Pretoria with Yesterday’s Pupil
• 6th MAR – Back2Basix, Johannesburg, with Yesterday’s Pupil
• 7th MAR – Burn, Durban, with Yesterday’s Pupil
• 11th MAR – Klein Libertas, Stellenbosch, with Sparky Boy
• 13th MAR – Assembly, Cape Town, with (still to be confirmed)

Yesterday’s Pupil has been selected at the official opening act for the Gauteng and Kwa-Zulu Natal leg of the tour. He is a one man performer that coordinates live production and sampling with acoustic drumming, live guitar and vocal arrangements. His debut album ‘Errors of Enthusiasm’ is a profoundly fresh approach to electronic music-making and his combination of traditional rock with new wave electro and noticeable pop sensibilities results in music that is approachable and great stuff to groove to! His work is very new in the South African music scene and we have found him to be one of the most impressive and original acts on or local stages.
