Greetings, fellow headbangers
As silly season rapidly approaches, us boys in Mind Assault have decided to beat the rush. This weekend we are pulling out all the stops and letting rip in Cape Towns Northern Suburbs – an area which we have neglected for a whole year! In fact, our last show in Northern Suburbs was the annual “Animals Rock” charity event in 2007, and our first gig for this weekend is… wait, you guessed it: Animals Rock 2008 – lol
Anyhow, Mind Assault and Animals Rock and the fantastic people at The Corner Bar have walked a long road together, and it is with great joy and enthusiasm that we make our return (this is guaranteed to end in a tequila apocalypse, as is the tradition at this venue). We will play at around 22:00 on Friday 14 th at The Corner Bar which is located on the corner of Queen & New Street, Durbanville. You can also catch the likes of Moment of Clarity and Original Sin, who if you have not yet seen, should not be missed. The festival organizers have conveniently set up a very nifty looking web page as an information resource. Go to www.animalsrock.co.za for details.
On Saturday the 15 th , and assuming that we are still alive, Mind Assault will drive the short distance down from Durbanville into to Belleville and take refuge in the now legendary Eye Of Horus pub. For those who have heard of, but not yet been, ‘The Eye' is situated just behind the M-Kem pharmacy on Durban Road, immediately off the N1 national highway. After a hasty liver transplant in Andy's chop-shop somewhere in the depths of the pub, Mind Assault will again feel strong and ready for another night of debauchery! click HERE for Facebook event page.
It will be our great pleasure to introduce special guests, Stellitius, who have only very recently made their debut into the Cape Town metal scene, followed by yours truly… This is our very first adventure at the Eye Of Horus, so please make us feel VERY welcome and don't be shy lining up those shooters at the bar.
Our last show of the year is taking place on Saturday, 13 th of December at Klein Libertas Theatre in Stellenbosch – it's WHIPLASH baby – yeah! This will be Mind Assault's 4 th year at Whiplash, hosted by Subterania Music. Check out their website at www.subterania.co.za for info and merchandise (including Mind Assault merch).
We will post a ‘year's wrap' on the website in a few weeks time, and include with it our plans for Mind Assault in 2009. Be sure to check it out, but until then, see you in the pit!
