The Mark Haze Band were another Cape Town Group I did sound for at the old Bohemian, they came there as a 2 piece( not the full Band) and were excellent, very humble, no attitude whatsoever, went on to have quite a few of their numbers getting Radio Play. Still going strong.
At the time Mark had been on the SA version of Idols in 2011 and finished 2nd , to me , he was clearly better than the Guy who came first ! ( a real space Cowboy)
Before that Mark had entered the American Idols and had been accepted , but did not have the means to stay in the USA for the competition!
Mc Cree were another Good Band from Cape Town who performed at the Bohemian.
In General I found the quality of The Cape Town Bands to be excellent.
I would ask some of them if the Plaque commemorating my Birth in Sea Point was still there?
All of them said they had never seen it! ( would have been really surprised if any of them had been affirmative!)
The one night at the Bohemian , I had a very large Older Fellow( lot younger than me) come up to me , telling me to turn the Music Down. I respond with" Why would you come to a Pub which has its sole purpose of promoting SA music if you don't like loud? off he goes.
About 30minutes later back he comes:" I own this place and I'm telling you to turn it down". Me " Actually the Owner pay's me. You don't look anything like him!", again he wanders off!
30-40 Minutes later he comes charging up to the Mixing Desk, starts pulling out the " Snake Connections" I grab his hand , hit a nerve on his arm , Twist his arm behind his back , shout to Fanie to open the door propel him out , into the street , run back to the desk , sorted ( nobody even noticed).
Next thing his 3 Mates are standing in a row in front of me , arms folded ( to look imposing, I suppose)
Quick Advice for Free:- Never fold your arms in a fight situation!
"Look Guy's, you have been drinking all night , I don't drink at all! We can go outside and I will stuff you up. Or you can go home and come back another time when you are feeling better?"
They decided the second option was more to their liking, and off they went!
I assume I have not told you I did Karate , Boxed in the Army , and know where most of the more unpleasant nerve strikes are on the Human Body?
Thank You.

Awesome dude. I really like "Sweet child o mine". Back in the days I used to listen the song like everyday. :D
Agree with you. Thanks.
simon is not impressed
In the end Idols is just a TV show! Thanks.
what a story lol!
And I have so many of them! Thank you.
LOL, what a story! Good that those mates thought going home was the better option. Best to end things quietly :)
True, you never know who has a gun on them? Thanks.
Pffff, yeh, you are living in a country that is a little less save than my home town, Amsterdam, NL.
I would say so , Thank You.
Sounds like some Steven Seagal moves!
I enjoyed them too, Appreciate your visit.
Amazing post
Thank You.
I think live music is really, really important. And I think it's very important to do together. It's much more fun to play to music together than the one person listening to their lone iPod Shuffle. I think it's an amazing way to build community and have children do things that are funded that's not a videogame.
Thanks for sharing @ awgbibb
True that!
sure
Amazing sound, thanks for sharing
My Pleasure, Thanks.
Amen! 🙏
Thanks

Great bands. I love sounds but definitely not an engineer :d
Thank You.
Karate is very helpful in such situations :)
Yes it would be.
This sound and passion is amazing for my ears. Thanks for sharing
Thank you, my pleasure.
They are a superb band and it is great to hear how humble they were.
Great to see that Mark came 2nd in Idols even though he deserved 1st.
I never knew that you did Karate and that you Boxed in the Army but I guess it does help to know where pressure points are on the body
Really interesting @awgbibb
Thank You, Glad you enjoyed it.
Get up get up get uuuuuuuup! :d
Thank You.
@awgbibb,
Honestly I am not aware about "The Cape Town Bands"! But I have checked your shared videos and understood they are a great set of musicians.
Most interesting point of this article is here:
"Look Guy's, you have been drinking all night , I don't drink at all! We can go outside and I will stuff you up. Or you can go home and come back another time when you are feeling better?"
Yeah I will test it and let you know the outcome :D
Cheers and awaiting to read the next great experience of yours!
Thank You, Appreciate your comments.
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank You
It's really an echoing sound @awgbibb
Thank you.
OOOO nerve strikes are awesome. would like to learn them. help. :)
Thank You, can give you tips?
lol nice going on that group of guys. Sounds like they had no business being there too if that was their attitude. Just watched that Mark guy, really talented singer!
Thank You , yes he is.
Hahaha...hilarious incident. I'm a musician playing at bars around Kathmandu ad we have similar incidents with drunk blokes all the time. There's a reason we don't drink much during gigs.
That's why the Guys loved me as a SE , Last band gets the same attention as the first! Thank You.
Great. Think we should follow each other too.
Done!
