The Johannesburg-based Christian rockers known as the Exploits are confirmed to be playing at the Just Jesus Session 2008. This hard-working band also recently appeared on Teen Gospel Live, a live TV show airing on One Gospel (DSTV channel 331). Their debut album entitled ‘Start Today’ is available from their web site at www.exploitsband.com, where you can also watch the music video for the song ‘This Counts’.

Depending on your flavour, you could also check them out on Myspace or Facebook:

It seems the S.A. Christian music scene is heading for a revival, and the Exploits are among those unashamedly standing up to be counted.

SA’s leading Christian music festival, Just Jesus Session (or JJS for short), is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year. A new venue in Camperdown has been picked, only a few kilometres down the N3 (towards Durban) from Ashburton where it was previously held.

JJS is very reasonably priced and a really great alternative to the usual New Year celebrations. The official site has booking info, the band line-up and heaps of other useful stuff. For the Facebookers, the group to join is here.

Check out the video below to get an idea of what to expect from this year’s festival.

The time for Paballo Ya Batho fundraiser Night of 1000 Drawings has rolled around again. Last year’s function was a roaring success and this time promises to be no different.

The entertainment bill at the Jo’burg exhibition includes live bands Fuzigish, Cassette and Desmond and the Tutus, as well as a number of top DJ’s to keep the vibe pumping until the early hours. Please come along and show your support by purchasing good, original artworks for a worthy cause!

Jo’burg Exhibition:
Thursday 15 November 2007 from 19:00
The Lister Building, Bree street (between Kruis & Von Weilleigh streets)
