Even though I usually write about this event, I’m often unable to actually attend it myself. That all changes tomorrow though when Untamed Youth takes place the night before our mutual day off, compliments of Workers Day. Tommy Gun, Yo Grapes, DJ Invizable and Mudblud will also be playing and if you add in a whole lot of cheap drinks and the fact that we’ve all just been paid, you really have no reason to miss this one. Yo Grapes also just released a remix of Gateway Drugs’ “Pop Song 3” which is really nice, and will hopefully be played tomorrow. Hear it below.

This week at Untamed Youth they’ve got Tommy Gun returning from his current hiatus, who will be joined by regulars Mudblud and Battle Beyond the Stars. If you were looking for the right venue to spend your money at during your holiday (or regular Tuesday for us working folk) than this is it, and you’ll even be able to capture the moment by using the photobooth that they’re setting up for the night.

Did I mention that it’s free before 10?

Tuesday: First up is this week’s Untamed Youth, which is teaming up with the UCT Film Society to make their student night even more exciting. The lineup includes Mudblud, Sexual Tension, Elu Eboka and We-Are-Awesome. Oh, and if that wasn’t enough Tequila, Castles & Black Labels are R12 AND entrance is free before 11.

Wednesday: You’ve really got your work cut out for you on Wednesday so deciding between all these parties is going to be pretty tough. My advice – start early and go to them all, tomorrow’s a public holiday FFS. First on the list is See You Next Wednesday ft Haezer. If you’re in the mood for something really wild and sweaty, this is where you’ll want to be.

Wednesday: If you get bored at Assembly, guess what? City Bowl Sessions is happening across the road! And it features TRMB favourites Ryan Gosling, Mudbud, Einstein Adonis, Daddy Warbucks and Das Kapital. You can also party guilt-free because you’re gonna be getting trashed for a good cause. A win-win really.

Wednesday: Lastly, if you wanna travel a bit off the beaten track, you can head on down to The Manila Bar for YOH!’s “last event in a while” (ominous) and will feature some of the best acts that have made this party great.

Saturday: At this point if you aren’t broke, lying in a gutter or getting your stomach pumped you’ll be quite pleased to know that it’s time for After Hours! Yes, they really did save the best for last, and this time around the theme is ‘Winter Wonderland’ so you can expect an old man shovelling snow, air conditioning, waking up in an igloo and possibly even… polar bears?

Tonight sees the return of Tuesday regulars Mudblud and VGA; along with the relatively fresh on the scene, Bombardier; and fan-favourite Illtastic. If the event poster wasn’t enough to get you excited for this then maybe you should listen to these 2 songs that were handpicked by Mudblud and Bombardier (the opener and closer for the night) which should give you a feel for what you’d be missing out on.

Saturday: Last, but definitely not least is the next installment of After Hours at Assembly. The theme this time around is ‘Treasure Island”, so expect bilgewater, scurvy, Booty Beyond The Stars, free shots, waking up in a dead man’s chest, Sexual Treasure, and obviously a whole lot of feathers.

It’s that time of the week again at Fiction and tonight promises to be well worth the R30 entrance fee because Drive By Disco, Haasbroek and Elu Eboka are performing. So what if you have exams? So what if you have work tomorrow? So what if you’re broke? If you say “Untamed Youth” really quickly it almost sounds like you’re saying “YOLO”.

It may have something to do with the fact that I’m finally getting my much-needed 12 hours of sleep every night, or that I have a lot more time to scour the internet looking for new music. Either way, life’s looking good at the moment and these songs are pretty much the soundtrack to my happy days.

Slow Magic just released a new song for us to dreamwave to.

I’ve just recently listened to the first, self-titled EP from St. Lucia (South African boy wonder) and this song is my life right now. To listen to the rest of the EP, go here.

A while back, Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti released a cover from their new album, Mature Dreams, called “Baby”. Yesterday, the band released the first piece of original material from the album, called “Only in My Dreams”. Both songs are equally good, and you can listen to them below.

This song was submitted as one of the entries for the After Hours competition that I held last week. Thanks Sean Magner!

To end off my Happy Tuesday I’ll be going to Fiction for a bit of the usual. This week’s Untamed Youth features Rafi, Haasbroek, Stone-Age Citizens and G-zis. There is no better place to love life so I suggest you all be there! For the event page, go here.
