#066 Sandy Little on Big Fright, DIY Art, and Why the Human Journey Matters
Post-punk artist, illustrator, and unapologetic DIY advocate.
Sandy Little - vocalist of Bristol post-punk band Big Fright and visual artist behind festival and band design work across South Africa and the UK - talks honestly about building a music career from scratch in a new country, making handcrafted merch, and why she believes AI is stealing the most valuable part of creativity: the messy, difficult process of figuring it out yourself. This episode is for independent musicians and artists who care about doing the work with integrity, and who want to hear from someone who is actually doing it.

#065 Your Heart is a Drum | Danny de Wet
The author of Sex, Drums, and Rock 'n Roll... In Africa!
Danny De Wet is full-time drama and one-time drummer for eVoid, Petit Cheval, Electric Petals, and Wonderboom. And he's the author of 'Sex, Drums and Rock 'n Roll... in Africa'. We caught up to chat all about his book, his career, and the one he holds most dear (spoiler alert, it's his son!)
This episode is full of great stories of a life lived on the stage and on tour - with a touch of blunt honesty, dash of 'ex-sagittarriun', and a HUGE amount of heart. If you love South African music, and want to reminisce about a time when live music was REALLY well supported, then this episode is for you.
And so is Danny's book! It's a great read, and you'll find things to delight, humour and inspire you.
