No More Powernite of Rock?
On Monday, whilst mindlessly going through my Facebook feed - something popped up and screamed "LOOK AT ME". It was a status update from Jon Savage that read - "This Thursday is my 156th Powernite of Rock. It is also my last! Please join me for the FINAL Powernite of Rock on 5FM this Thursday at 10pm. It's gonna be bigger than James Brown's balls!" Not even the James Brown joke eased the blow. It was one of the few shows I still listened to on 5fm, as an avid rock fan. What to do now? While we are currently still awaiting further details on what the next step forward for Mr Savage is, never one to disappoint - he has left us with this: "ATTENTION ATTENTION. All rock bands who have ever been on my show in the past 3 years - you are invited to come visit again this coming Thursday for the last ever Power Night of Rock on 5FM AND All bands who have NEVER been on my show and really wanted to. You too are invited to come and visit and get your deserved fame-time. AND... All friends, rocklings, music lovers. You are invited…

Deity's Muse - Real SA Inspiration
Well, RamFest is upon us, and what better way to celebrate than to interview one of our home grown bands? Deity's Muse talks to us about the inspiration for their name, playing on the main stage at RamFest, and Toby Wright. Words by: Tracey-Lee Stedman Images: Yokim Pillay 1. Give us an idea of who Deity's muse is, for our followers that are not familiar with you. We're a three-piece hard rock band with too many influences to mention. But if you like Black Sabbath, Tool, Chevelle, Alice in Chains then you'll probably like our stuff. We've played all over South Africa and we're currently writing our 4th album. Last year we played overseas for the first time. We played shows in Germany, England and USA. We're planning a US tour in support of our next album. 2. How did you guys come up with your name? Wow.
