Zam Boney - A Day In The Life Ep (Jozi)

"Zam Boney" is Gianluca Tadiello. The guitarist from "The Slashdogs", Vocalist/Guitarist/Song writer of "The Carniwhores" and this is his folk pop acoustic project. It's honest, heart full, sad... yet beautiful and uplifting. A shade of which we have yet to see from this BAD ASS ghoul of a guitarist. An amazing debut release. Something I'm going to be playing on repeat for a good while.

Zam is a good kid. DOWNLOAD HIS SHIT!

Some Notes On The Songs:

 "You'll be okay is about selling your soul to the consumer dream, and in the process losing everything you truly care for (family, friends, dreams and aspirations). losing yourself.

False alarms is about finding love in such a world and being told not choosing that idea means your life will suck, but saying you have a choice and with love you can make it through cause its all that matters.
Jenny Jean is about a close friend of mine who committed suicide cause her BF beat her, the drugs fucked her up, her other friends fucked her over and her parents disowned her.

Ballad Of a Simple Man is about doing drugs when you're younger and how they eventually lead you to ruin, but how that's the only choice many people have after the world tells them they're not worth anything.
And Mother is about dealing as a family with cancer and how at those times you feel alone (everyone dies alone) and religion and science can't save you. All you have left is the now." - Zam

Joy Moonflower - Folk from PTA

 

"Pretoria, South Africa (2011 – present)

Joy Moonflower is the moniker of Joy Steyn (born 23 December, 1991 as Jessica Steyn), a self-taught musician residing in Pretoria, South Africa. Joy sings and plays guitar alone but began her foray into musicianship by playing upright bass and singing in an old two-piece blues band.

Her distinct, idiosyncratic singing has garnered comparisons to the likes of Joanna Newsom and Regina Spektor. However, her musical style is pervaded by simple guitar rhythms, unpredictable chord progressions and vocal acrobatics. A large portion of Joy’s songs are improvised and lyrics are usually made up spontaneously - often only the basic chords and chorus lines are thought up beforehand. Thus her shows are usually marked by spontaneity, the musical direction depending a lot on they way she feels at the time.

Feeling estranged and uncomfortable with the system, Joy left school at the early age of 16 to pursue and study a myriad of interests ranging from Fine Arts and Theatrical Make-up to Hairdressing and even Photography. However, in 2011 she finally found her calling and decided to expand her musical talent.

She cites her contemporary influences as Fever Ray, The Books, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Moldy Peaches, Deerhoof and The Cranberries." - Last FM
