Where: Kitcheners Carvery (at the Milner Park Hotel), Corner of Juta and De Beer, Braamfontein

We’ve found a new venue in Braamfontein so we’re throwing a party to see what will happen…

A block from tiltt.co.za headquarters, it’s the second oldest pub in Jo’burg. Lord Kitchener used to hang out there. Some say he still does. Or at least some of his friends still do. We’ll be using them as car guards. Just joking. Real flesh and blood security will be provided.

The line-up:
Yoji

Data Takashi
Sound Sensible
Offbeat
Dexterity

So come and join us to get rid of the ghosts and help celebrate Grant turning 20 something…

You are hereby invited to the Graduation party for the prestigious Sovereign Academy on the 19th of July 2008 at The Capitol Theater

Since it’s first gathering of a mere 100 disruptive students on the 17th of December 2005, Sovereign has grown from a faculty of 3 DJs, to been at the center of a massive community of bands, DJs and multi-medium dancefloor rockers that are changing the face of South African party culture. As such we feel now, almost 3 years down the line, The Academy has taught all it can. The scene that’s burgeoned in this time is something far greater than we could ever have hoped for and at the graduation party we celebrate this entire scene. However, for the nights entertainment, we’ve stripped the lineup down to it’s core, with epic sets from the Faculty’s heads of department.

20:30 Young Smuts
21:30 Data Takashi – Swing HOD
23:00 Kidofdoom – Space HOD
00:00 Sassquatch – Spazz HOD
01:00 King of Town – Secrect HOD
02:00 Academy All Stars

Graduates will be expected to dress to fit in with any themes from past Sovereign’s: The Letter “P”, Japan, 8 Bit, Night of the Spazzing Dead, ect. Those that arrive in inappropriate attire will be asked R50 to gain entry, but those that dress accordingly will pay a reduced tuition fee of R40.

Our long time partners in counter-cultural education, Canned Applause & Ke Ai, will be providing all manner of awards to the nights most unruly students.

We look forward to ripping the floor apart with you one last time.

Sovereign Academy
