Ladies and gentlemen (but mostly ladies), we have some bad news. And some good news. In fact, the bad news is the good news.
This Wednesday the 10th of March marks a two month break from performance at our favourite venue, The Airstream Trailer Park atop The Grand Daddy Hotel, Long Street.
The good news is that we’ll be using those two months to work on new tracks, record an album and spend bromantic weekends together.
So, if you’re really honest with yourself, the two month wait will be worth it. You can survive the time by reassuring yourself that:
1) D-seven will be better looking when we return
2) D-seven will have newer, better tracks to sooth your troubled hearts.
3) The withdrawl symptoms will almost kill you, but they won’t, and when you set eyes on us again we’ll rock your faces off with new, recorded tracks to get your sticky little paws on. Down, tiger.
So get your fine behinds to the Airstream Trailer Park atop the glorious Grand Daddy Hotel in Long Street this Wednesday at 6:30pm to bid your lads a fond, albiet temporary farewell, and to make a moment with Boshendal and the beautiful people of the rooftop.
Huzzah.

D-seven takes great delight in announcing that The Good Doctor, AKA Scott Lee-Jones, is spoken for!
His betrothed is none other than D-seven’s Number One Groupie, AKA Sarah Thomas. She’s this awesome:
AWESOME
As you’ll all agree, they are a beautiful couple, and last night, in many a Cape Town living room, a collective sigh of “About time” was heard. Mass occurunces of high fives and hugs were reported to have spilled onto the streets by late yesterday evening.
Perfect
Nevertheless, we predict their kids will look something like this:
A "handful"
Here’s too you, Scott and Sarah. Stay awesome.
With all our love and good wishes,
D-seven
Sarah has a rare "Scott mole" on her lip.

This week sees a double bill of private parties for the boys of D-seven, who’ll be doing just about anything (vocally, that is) to show their clients a good time. The first stop is No. 15 Third Beach of the acclaimed Clifton Bungalows. D-seven will be collaborating with Boschendal to Make a Moment on the eve of Thursday February 25th 2010 for this one.
Unfortunately, the event is a strictly invite-only affair. But we won’t stop you if you have a telephoto lens and you absolutely HAVE to get a picture.
That's hot
Then on Saturday the 27th of February it’s off to Sunset Beach in Cape Town for an invite-only birthday function at a top secret, high end venue. It’s simple, you grow one year older, and we’ll do the job of keeping you young on your birthday with tight harmonies shapely bottom lines. Bass lines, that is. Get your mind out of the gutter.
If you’d like to have the D-seven experience on your birthday or at your function, you should contact us. Do the right thing.

Following the massive success of the Up the Creek Festival this past weekend, D-seven has made it into the online news cycle, albeit in an unconventional way.
In Overheard at Up the Creek on Channel24.com, an anonymous member of D-seven was quoted as saying to African comedian, Rob van Vuuren (of Corne and Twakkie fame), “Thank you, Rob van Vuuren, for bringing all of us out of the closet at the same time.”
Needless to say, you’ll have to ask one of the boys exactly what they meant by that. After all, context is everything. And they’re all straight. Super straight. So straight it’s fabulous.
Awkward. Anyhow, make sure you check out the gig guide, and ask one of the boys in person.

D-seven will be doing what they do best at the Cape Town International Convention Centre on February 19th 2010 – entertaining a swathe of women.
Catch the boys for a small warm up gig at the Women’s Show between 17:15 and 17:35, before they kick start the 5fm Ladies Night at 19:00.
Here’s a small blurb from www.thewomensshow.co.za.
“So much more than just another expo, the 8th Women’s Show promises to be an informative, fun-filled inspiration destination to truly empower you, with the gentle reminder of your inherent magnificence.”
The show runs from the 19th to the 21st of February, and tickets are R50 per person, per day.
Head down to the really, really large building on 1 Lower Long Street in Cape Town, and treat yourselves ladies.

The 14th of February may be Valentines Day, but the 13th is the date that you’ll want to remember. That is, of course, if you and your partner are the lucky winners of this fantastic competition by D-seven and Cosmpolitan and Bilton Wine Estate, in associati0n with Boschendal and The Grand Daddy Hotel.
The winners of the competition, which is currently in it’s final phase of adjudication, by judges, will be driven by classic car to Bilton Wine Estate for wine tasting and romantic dinner for two on the evening of the 13th of February. And if you happen to live outside of Cape Town, you’ll be flown to the mother city courtesy of Bilton before hand. No romantic dinner is complete without a little music, and D-seven is on hand to wind up the romance an extra few notches, whilst doing their absolute best not to appear attractive to your date. Fine wine is courtesy of Bilton and bubbly by Boschendal.
After dinner, the lucky couple will be whisked away to their lodgings for the night, to the ultra-chic Airstream Trailer park on the roof of the award-winning Grand Daddy Hotel, where more Boschendal bubbly will be on hand. The following morning our couple is treated to a champagne breakfast (did anyone say Boschendal?) in Cape Town, and will be free to take in the sites and sounds of the Mother city before provided transport delivers them safely back home on Sunday evening.
If you’ve entered the competition, we reckon it’s time you started holding thumbs…

Remember to visit www.upthecreek.co.za ASAP to get hold of your tickets. Pull through any time during the weekend, we don’t mind, so long as you’re actually there.
Got it?
Good.

Elgin is a place of beauty, tranquility, and peace.
At least it will be, until D-seven and Watershed rock up.
The Paul Cluver Wine Estate boasts one of the most beautiful stages in South Africa, the Paul Cluver Amphitheatre.
Needless to say, it hardly needs improving, but that won’t stop D-seven and Watershed from ratcheting the appeal of this picturesque place up a few notches from 6:30pm on Saturday the 30th of January. D-seven will be on stage between 6:30pm and 7pm, and Watershed will be on stage from 7pm onward.
Breathe some fresh air, drink some mature wine, open your heart to great music, and get those natural endorphins going.
