Yes, I know it’s been far too long since I last posted. And, to be honest, there are more than a few things that should have been up by now, not least of which is reviews of the new Damnwells and Hotels and Highways records. But that will have to continue to wait. For now, […]
Syd Kitchen is to South African music what the Sphynx is to Egypt; a landmark that has seemingly always existed, yet remains a true enigma.
