"Devil 'n Pistol" live & unplugged

"The stand-out event of the festival was by far the Taxi Violence acoustic gig in the Speakerbox/Levi's Original Music VIP area. I feel genuinely sorry for those who weren’t lucky enough to be around. Friday night, well after the sun had set but before the sliver of moon was up: all four members seated, a single light keeping half their faces hidden, everything covered in a sheen of dust and an intimate audience, some sitting in the dirt at their feet, waiting, bristling with anticipation.

The perfect setting for a growling, thumping selection of songs about preachers and devils, wildcards and whiskey – dust-parched rock in a frontier town to rouse your black heart and keep the cold dark at bay. Foot stamping up a plume of dirt, George rumbled and wailed away while Riaan, Louis and Jason's three guitars and single kick drum drenched the camp in sound. It’s the kind of heartbreaking, invigorating stuff that legends are made of – and ranks in my list of transcendent musical experiences along with seeing Hugh Masakela at the Blue Note in Tokyo and Plant and Page instrumental at Glastonbury. Unforgettable." [Finn Gregory - 24.com]
