When I conceptualised After Dark at the Two Oceans Aquarium<\/a>, I hoped that the bands we\u2019d book would see the performance area in front of the I&J Ocean Exhibit as a blank canvas of sorts. That they\u2019d envision it as a space for them to step outside of their comfort zone and experiment with sonic tones and textures that they perhaps never thought of.\u00a0<\/p>\n When I conceptualised After Dark, I did it with bands like Metro Villa<\/a> in mind.\u00a0<\/p>\n The four piece rock band, who\u2019ve made a name for themselves on the Cape Town scene courtesy of their high energy live shows, saw After Dark as their opportunity to reimagine their songs acoustically and by doing so, delivered a thoughtfully-crafted, stripped down performance. They also filmed it and turned it into an EP because why wouldn\u2019t you?<\/p>\n \n
