Mark Reitz, what a photographer. He has such a creative and unique style going on. Some of you may have seen him on stage with musicans, doing what he does best. He also produced a music video for The Relevators (You Missed It), which you can see below this interview.

1). Local Bands:
Pretty Blue Guns
Stepdog
The Future Primitives
The Great Apes
Holiday Murray
- And all the bands that make an effort to create mind expanding sounds, keep an ear on the ground, seems like theres a bunch of them emerging in the Cape Town underground these days.

2). Live shows:
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - BRMC really changed my life when I first heard them and seeing them 20min from home in Nov last year was such a privilege, 4 months later the afterglow of those magical 2 hours are still with me.

All the gigs with good friends and good music will always be remembered.

San Francisco, CA
Open for suggestions…
