I have this hidden treasure...its just after 10 and if you've hit 12 you've gone too far.

Its a crying shame....no really...a CRYING shame that more people are not in the loop about UNIT 11. Whats this you're talking about? I hear you ask. Well,Im glad you did just ask me.  Unit 11 is pretty much the new place to be in Durban...well in my opinion. I blogged a couple weeks back about their awesome music and their no-bieber-beyonce music rules ( I dont know if this is an actual rule of theirs just F.Y.I) , anywho I pretty much go there because of the ping pong table... did I mention I won the ping pong championships in Durban in 2006 ? Oh wait..I didnt tell you? probably because I never won it... but I definitely aspire to be a ping pong champion. OK, let me get back to the reason of this post. Ok...where was I...rad venue...ping pong...ok yes...anyway so they have stuff going on there pretty much every Friday and Saturday so what Id like you to do is go there...and then tell me all about it and how much you love it,and actually tell all your friends too...because I really feel this place is like a hidden treasure (cough...hence the post name)  and I want to share its amazingness with you. You're welcome.

So our zero31 crew (which consisted of 2slice,dark knight and myself) went down there on Friday night to check out some bands (and play ping pong....obvious). Joburg progressive rock band Dead Alphabet decided to come to the good ol' 031 to play a little gig. Let me just tell you this...they were INSANE...like good insane of course. Ok Adam who does main vocals for the band has got himself a good set of pipes. Highest energy show I have been to in a loooooong time,2Slice was getting his dance moves on so much that he has complained for 2 days after the gig about having a sore shoulder, and if you've seen 2Slice dance...you know he's got moves. Speaking of..I do a really good impression of  a 'dancing 2Slice'... if you ask nicely I'll show you. Right,so where was I..oh yes...AMAZING. This band is hot hot hot. If you visit their website you can even get a free download.You're welcome again.

Dead Alphabet were supported by local Durban band Red Light Stereo who were also pretty golden. I happen to know that Dark Knight rather enjoyed them. As did I of course. Some great tracks.no really. (as if you didnt believe me the first time!)  I will definitely be tracking this band as I plan on seeing more of them.

Check out zero31'S Guide to happiness about whats going down in Durban this week. Including the all important RedBull Soundclash (which I happen to know is going to be radder than RAD,the zero31 crew will be there getting their dance on,well mainly it will be 2Slice but Dark Knight and myself try and keep up with him)

Anyway here are a FEW pics of Dead Alphabet (only a few because I am writing a billion...yes a billion reports for work..ok fine...not a billion..16...but basically the same thing?)

I mean it would be pretty lame if I blogged about them and didnt post a pic or two.  I only had my camera half way through though so no pics of Red Light Stereo...darn it! Next time I promise y'all.

P.S: I love my life.







Dear Adam...nice voice. 


Ah..such good vibes!
