ABOUT
What do you get when a Cowboy and a group of Cowboy killers walk into a Record Store??
An epic night of Alt Country music is what you get!
Join us on Wednesday the 15th of December at M-PIRE Music in Woodstock, as we present to you, two awesome acts in Joshua Beaches and We Kill Cowboys!
Joshua Beaches is a Johannesburg based, singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer. He has been releasing music since 2019, with 3 titles to date, namely a three Track EP ‘Elixer’ and two more Singles b/w B - Sides. Beaches has a style that is drawing from various traditional forms of folk music, jazz and rock to create a unique style that is a dreamy concoction of haunting melodies and subtle chamber orchestral textures on top of gently swaying grooves. The music serves to soothe and sublimate. The lyrical themes are sincere and often bordering on brutal sentimentality.
We Kill Cowboys is a fairly new project and brainchild of Alex Muller, a local musician and tattoo artist. Alex has been involved in the local music scene for many years, predominantly in the underground, punk scene.
After a bit of a hiatus to focus on building her tattoo business and being a mom, she's back with this new musical project.
Writing about views on world issues and the human condition, her music comes straight from the heart, as a way to connect.
WE KILL COWBOYS is music that speaks about going against the establishment. It’s honest, real and raw.
This show also serves as the Cape Town leg of Joshua's EP launch for his latest release "Souvenires of Love"
Souvenirs Of Love, is a more intimate view of the artist’s world than previous releases. The crooned vocal melodies, acoustic grooves and lush chamber pop arrangements create a sound and texture that is nostalgic and sentimental; a feeling that is echoed in lyrical content and is clearly a man coming to terms with the loss of intimate love, subsequent loneliness in a state of isolation and lockdown. This is an attempt at sublimation, awakening and testimony. These songs were written, recorded and produced in Beaches’ flat in Illovo, Johannesburg during the lockdown of 2020/21. Songs to ease the lonely.
Doors 6:30pm and the show will start around 8pm.
Tickets are R100 online via Quicket or R120 at the door!
Please bring along whatever you want to eat and drink for the night (think picnic basket)
