Cape Town’s music scene is usually discussed in fragments. The punk kids are over here. The jazz heads are somewhere else. Rap has its own rooms, its own circuits, its own gravity. DJs and bands only really interact after a band’s set. We talk about “the scene” as if it is singular, but most weekends it behaves like a loose federation of micro-scenes that only occasionally brush shoulders.

That is part of what makes Hey Hey Now Now interesting.
