Is this article a press release or a crit?

PS Are the people there always dirty because of the ablution facilities?

Aak!

Gross oversight in my review. I did catch part of it, and thought it was excellent. I loved the way the crowd was enraptured by it and thought the band “filled the space” excellently.

Pause.
Backtrack.
Terminatryx played an ambient, goth-inclined live soundtrack to a silent film in the dust of the new Bushveld Stage at Oppikoppi. What more do you need to know, music lovers – the very fact that this happened shows how far the festival has progressed, and the fact that it was as good as it was – and held the interest of the Koppi faithful while they could have been watching Foto Na Dans and Teba – proves that if musicians have talent, skill and vision, and stick to their artistic guns, then the audience *will* find them.

I have only one small quibble – Terminatryx needs an uplighter under drummer Sean Ou Tim, who has black hair and was wearing a high-collared, almost polo-neck black top. Imagine the face of the beat floating above the band as Murnau’s vampire-parasite creation creeps around on the screens to either side…

(PS: If y’all missed this, check out the DVD release that Terminatryx did with their soundtrack over the silent film).

Hey Ev!
Pity you didn’t catch our Terminatryx live soundtrack performance to the silent vampire movie Nosferatu (with members of Lark) on the Saturday night.
We expected the audience to revolt and demand a rock band in stead of the Ambient / Industrial / Soundtrack moods. But they really got into it.

Great bands,great atmosphere!
Never seizes to dissapoint-oppikoppi a name that is engraved in many a south african and more.The Sipho Gumede Stage had some great performances, i enjoyed Farmer James and Mix ‘n Blend and 340ml brilliant stuff even without 2 of the original band members, these guys always seem to lingering in the background,somehow i think they dont get the credit they deserve!The rest of the gigs i saw good quality.
Oppikoppi 2009 Great show!
