Kirstenbosch Summer Sunset Concerts 23 January 2011
Being the awsome fan such as I am, it was a hard knock for me watching the Kirstenbosch concert on Jan 23rd. Dan Patlansky, Farrel Purkis & Inge Beckman.
After much hype (and deserved hype because these muso's own) the late afternoon gig took the form of 3 songs by each accomplished musician and then a massive collaborative jam! It promised to be a stunning entertainer! I was especiallylookig forward to Ms Beckman's solo material. Antici... ...pation!
However, much like celibacy vows of Hank Moody, it was a promise unkept. FML. I was sorely disappointed by the whole thing. No sooner had the door swung shut on Lark's tight backside than the former frontwoman's creme de la crem performance turned sour like week old yoghurt thats been lying in the sun!
It took me a while to get to writing this review simply because I was trying to avoid it.

No sooner had the door swung shut on Lark's tight backside than the former frontwoman's creme de la crem performance turned sour like week old yoghurt thats been lying in the sun! The contorted faces of the disturbed crowd were more distracting than her creepy robes and screechy temple-calls. 3 songs were 3 too many. Sadly, very sadly. We all know she's capable of awesome shit. Dan the man's grizzly voice and ballzy guitar playing put the rock back in the gig and got the show rolling again. YAY!
A horrific jam. Shame, nobody sounds great after Dan's rocked out his deep throated sexiness so Inge stuck to her bizarre personal style (credit for that) but it unfortunately failed. Epicly.
They should robably have realised though.
As for Mr Purkis... ...he's decent but it wasn't anything to write home about.
They are all such phenominal musicians I was hoping for so much more.
