Braamfontein, since 2016

Setlist started in 2016 as twelve stapled pages handed out at the door of a show on De Beer Street. It is still made in the same back room off Juta by four people who all have other jobs, and it still comes out on the last Thursday of the month. The counter exists because printing costs money and advertising has never once covered an issue. Every tape, tee and back issue sold here pays the printer in Salt River and the two freelancers we owe. That is the whole arrangement.

Back catalogue

Issue 47 is at the printer

Fourteen pages on the Braamfontein all-ages rooms that survived the year, the tape column and thirty-one reviews. Subscribers get it first; the rest lands on the counter that Monday.
