WINSTON PUB evening
Winston pub on the 30 August 2013. On us entering the Winston pub, we felt the darkness of the evening come upon us as we settle down for entertainment of the the four metal masters. Some drums kicked the bass in gear and informed of a mosh pit we knew that was not going to be a night for the faint hearted. I must say I think our own metal head Ryno de Lange would fit in very well but Tania and I sure tried to get into the spirit of the vening. The first band got their gear together for a sound check. 5 Young males from Your CynicaL Sanity. With their deep pig squeal or so they call it, these gents blew our minds as they started drawing the attention of the crowd and started moving forward to the stage. These boys had fans and they were a well know band. We met the owner of the Winston pub, Kevin who knows how entertain his friends and loyal supporters, and made us feel so at home and welcomed. In between the breaks and gear change we had a quick chat with two gents from Your Cynical Sanity and only then found out that the youngest member is only 16. Next up its Nerve Zero, now these dudes looked more like rock stars as they set the stage to entertain the waiting crowd eager to hear these Johannesburg born gents who decided to come to Durban and metal these guys out. Darren our UK lead singer had the crowd quite shocked as this little ball of fury showed them how it’s done. Throwing shooters down and inviting them all to grab a sticker as he throws them into the crowd. I even got to have a little chat with Darren and the boys and wow these guys where really jamming there stuff. We will be conducting an interview with them in the near future. Keep a look out for then in one of the future Fanbase Magazines. Next our hosts of the night, Dark Matter, wow when these gentle giants walked up and introduced them I was scared, but soon relaxed we saw these 3 guys making music. Jacque our lead singer has a coffin case for his guitar, yes my friends a coffin case. Morne on the lead guitar and Grant on the drums, these boys music created a mosh pit and I was quite surprised to find out what it was all about. The dance floor was even blessed with Morne jumping to the floor and ripping down. We had a blast. We even bumped into a few old friends from the mag, Domain 8 brothers who informed us that they have a new single out, I was sad that we were never informed but they reassured us that we would be informed of their next release. We also bumped into Hezron Chetty, and we have a date with the tea master. The night was very eventful and I love metal and I think I could do more shows with these guys. We even had the opportunity to say good bye to our new found friends from Dark Matter that stopped at our place to wish us farewell. It was sad to see them leave, till we meet again boys. And a huge thank you to all the Dark Matter, Nerve Zero and there manager Tony for all the “gifts” we received. PS a shirt two drums sticks and the pick of destiny……
