freedom fighter
FREEDOM FIGHTER, fresh from their debut gigs at the National Arts festival in Grahamstown and lightning tour of Tshwane where they played with slam dub poet Otsile Ntsoane and recorded their first video featuring The Big Black Doos, are now returning to home turf. Described by Mail & Guardian’s weekly listings poet Nadine Botha as being a “twisted blues band”, FREEDOM FIGHTER are currently recording their debut CD at Parkhurst’s Ashkenazy-Muezzin Studio where veteran producer Memphis Menelik has hailed guitarist Dax Butler as “awesome…a wizard.”
Joburg audiences will get a unique opportunity to see FREEDOM FIGHTER in full flight on Friday 5 August at 9pm at the BOHEMIAN, corner Park and Menton, Richmond (near Auckland Park).
