Aces ‘n’ Spades Bar, together with Kill City Blues, will host free live bands every Friday from September, 2017. The gigs are from 9pm to 11pm, followed by DJ’s.
Kill City Blues
George van der Spuy, owner of Kill City Blues and vocalist for Taxi Violence adds: “Kill City Blues are happy to announce that we’ll be hosting the ‘Friday Night Live ‘ series at Aces ‘n’ Spades. The venue is known for its amazing nights of out with top class DJ’s you can get down and boogie with. The venue however felt it was important to bring back a stronger a live music presence to their weekends as well. Kill City was approached to take over the live event side of things as we have an abundance of bands coming through our rehearsal space. What better way to spot the talent? The evenings are also sponsored by Jack Daniels which is very welcome sight and specials will also be running on the evenings.”
