From 25 September to 4 October, Sticky Antlers will be doing their first mini-tour through Cape Town. This exciting news comes in the wake of the recent release of their début album on the KRNGY Logo (with help from One F Music).

Despite the fact that the album isn’t available in any of S.A’s mainstream music shops yet, requests for the group to play in the Mother City flooded in over the last few months. When Jarred Figgins, the owner of Club EVOL, offered a big organizing hand, Sticky Antlers jumped at the opportunity to graze on some fynbos.

Sticky Antlers are one of the most interesting and hard working groups to have emerged from the dry, dusty land of Pretoria. This is one band which does not give you more of the same, of anything.

Sticky Antlers

Their fiercely unique music is impossible to pigeonhole, but has been described as an amalgamation of experimental rock, pop, noise and alternative. Individual songs vary from mellow drones through transcendental grooves to earth-shattering distorted bliss.

Live, they are one of the most energetic and intense groups around. Wild and desperate, each band member milks every drop of expression out of their instrument(s), often to the extent of beating them into submission. Art SA magazine voted Sticky Antlers their “Second Young Bright Thing” for 2009 and the band has been the subject of numerous articles in various publications, including the Mail & Guardian, The Weekender, Pretoria News, The Star Tonight and A Look Away Magazine.

Confirmed shows in Cape Town are:

• 25 September: Club EVOL
• 30 September: The Assembly
• 2 October: Club EVOL
• 3 October: The Corner Bar

The tour will not only be a fantastic way to spread the Stickiness across our nation, but also acts as a great opportunity for the group to introduce the “KRNGY Logo”, which has been rumbling underground for some time now.

The KRNGY Logo seeks out musical oddities all across SA and does not work for profit or fame. In fact, the regular paradigm of music distribution is disregarded entirely; the aim being to find interesting musicians and groups who are truly passionate about creating original music instead of focusing on commercial concerns.

The label hosts a wide range of offbeat and limited edition merchandise items, entirely hand made by the band members themselves. Silk-screened T-shirts, CD-R’s (from as little as R10), CD’s, badges, Slime-O-Saurs and posters are only a few of the items available, all at very low prices!

The merchandise changes often, and editions can end at any time so you have to get whilst you can. KRNGY stands firmly on the foundation of the “do it yourself” ethic and has a strong “hands on” approach. Every part of production is handled in-house; even music videos are covered by KRNGY’s exceptionally creative video and animation department.

The KRNGY logo will also be launching “Taste Nightmare” on the tour. Taste Nightmare is a limited edition illustrated “zine” with original art by South African artists coupled with two CD’s focusing on local bands with strong DIY ethics and a limited edition silkscreen poster.
