Trending a music scene.
People say there isn't really a music scene in Durban. And I agree with that. You'll always have those people who follow absolutely every trend that comes their way and see themselves as "hipster", when actually they're just following what ever mainstream shit the media throws out at them. We need something more here, something people can always turn to, and always have fun being at. The dwindling music scene's explanation can be found right within the people of Durban. How many people would rather come out to see live music, and how many would rather spend a shit load of money on food and nightclubs where every night the same DJ puts on the same commercial music literally just off his Mac. What makes it even worse is that they try to make it look like they are DJ'ing by fiddling with a few buttons here and there, but really, nothing worth your hard-earned moola. People just don't appreciate arts and culture here. We live in a sleepy hollow where anything and everything has an expiry date; music especially. We aim to turn that around. And turn it around for good. Hit them so hard with this new genre that their ears will fall pregnant and they'll shit bricks.
