Weekend Argus (Saturday Edition)
MELLOW SOUNDS AT THE AQUARIUM
Southern Wild describe their music as emotive rock ’n’ roll, and they will definitely bring a unique sound to a very unique venue, says Renée Leeuwner, communications and media executive at the aquarium.
“We used to host music recitals at the aquarium years ago and they were very popular. Because of demand, and recognising that the aquarium is a unique, spellbinding venue where truly anything is possible, we’ve been keen to bring live music back for quite some time now,” she says.
“Of course, we needed to make sure we could put on the perfect show that showcases the best of local talent while inviting listeners through our doors – after closing time – to experience music in a whole new way.
“Texx And The City is the obvious choice of partner for After Dark. Tecla is highly respected in the industry, has her finger on the pulse of local music, and just so happens to be a genuine fan of the aquarium.”
Says Ciolfi: “The Two Oceans Aquarium is without a doubt my favourite place in Cape Town and I’ve never been more excited about any event I’ve ever hosted. Texx And The City also turns 10 this year so I’m using After Dark as the perfect excuse to have three birthday parties!”
Doors open at 7pm, and the music begins promptly at 8pm. A cash bar will be available but no food. Tickets are R295 through Quicket, and limited to 180 for each event. For more information, go to www.aquarium.co.za or texxandthecity.com
