• Seven Day Story

  All Eyes On Me
  Don't Say
  Crystal Clear

  You previously knew Seven Day Story from their first single, 'All Eyes On Me', and more recently for their appropriately laconic theme tune for the fantastic (and getting better) SA TV series, 'Going Nowhere Slowly' (How was that Graskop double-Bungy jump two episodes ago!). 'Crystal Clear' is closer to the band's harder rock style and introduces the Cape band's newly-altered line-up with two new members - Michael Horne on drums and Christo Van Der Rijst on guitar.
  
  Seven Day Story has been busy with pre-production for their debut album (due out in October), which will be recorded at Electric Chicken Studios in Randburg from 22nd September. So till that new batch of songs arrives, this will have to keep you going nowhere slowly for a while, but it's a very cool tune, so, to quote lead singer Michael Naranjo ... "Thaaat's aaaall riiiiiight!" [SS, August 2003]

  This is where I heard Gian Groen and Spinnekop for the first time and I fell in love with their clever lyrics and hard-rock (almost Deep Purple-ish) sound. And I actually prefer this early live version to the studio version recorded in 2002 for the 'Groen Kitaar' album. [BC, October 2003]
