The first radio show produced by bikers – presented by bikers – owned by bikers – for bikers and every other road user – launching on Africa’s pioneering community radio station, Bush Radio.
The Biker Show on Bush Radio 89.5fm in Cape Town – launching Saturday the 2nd June 2012 at 3pm – available via internet / mobile phone across the world) will have something for everyone – those to whom biking is a hobby; others who see it as a lifestyle and for those who believe biking is life itself!
This two-hour show will have weekly features on road safety, featured bike of the week; club of the week; general biker news; special guests and will strive to be a show with no holy cows – if it needs to be aired for debate and transparent discussion, it will be dealt with on The Biker Show.
It’s not a talk or a music show – it’s going to be a crazy, funky, zany, fun, great show filled with music, biker camaraderie, dedications, an SMS line (32158) or via Mxit, and club activities advertised for free!
The show will have three anchor presenters – all bikers affiliated to clubs in Cape Town. If a club is selected for club of the week, the in-studio representative will be the guest presenter for that particular show. Feature segments like Bike of the Week; Bike Safety etc will be presented by a specialist guest presenter that is skilled and knowledgeable about the particular subject.
The show and its presenters will be available for live outside broadcast from club day jols and rallies (at a fee). Your ideas, opinions and input for the show are welcome. Special inaugural advertising rates (dirt cheap). Want to sell or buy a bike; looking for spares – we will broadcast it.
Mail Trevor with your club activities; contact details and any questions or ideas you may want to share.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE VENUE HAS CHANGED TO RAGAZZI DUE TO THE FIRE AT IBUYAMBO
Guitarist and hip hop artist Jitsvinger (Quintin Goliath), and hip hop producer and beat maker Arsenic(Gary Erfort)- collectively known as Jitsenic – will again join forces on Thursday May 24, at Ragazzi ,33 Long Street The iBuyambo Music and Arts Exhibition Centre, for a live set of experimental trigger rhythms coupled with a combination of rock, blues and Cape jazz.
Audiences can expect an eclectic, though futuristic mix of experimental sounds influenced by home-grown Cape jazz pioneers, as well as the golden era of hip hop.
The idea behind the music, says the pair, “Is to use familiar sounds, but to take those sounds to an unknown place while still relying on our skills to redefine the way that local music is created.”
Arsenic will bring to the fore finger drumming techniques and will trigger samples to create layers of sound adding to Jitsvinger’s poetic rhythms and jazz-influenced guitar-fuelled performance.
The night will see a special performance by Cape Town-based LnJ (Jill Levenberg and Razak Johnson) – two theatrically trained poets, singers and songwriters. This is a must-see performance, not to be missed.
