THE ROCK À LA BOOZE PLAYLIST

In issue 27, our Beers & Beats pages were commandeered by our in-house pirate, editor-at-large Conrad Botes.Not only did he share his kick-ass black IPA recipe for the homebrewers out there, but he also gave us his go to tunes for drinking beer, making art and roadtripping on his way to fish.

He says, “One of the things that was disrupted for me under pandemic lockdown, was my annual pilgrimage to Reunion for the Rock à la Buse festival (ravinedessables.fr) named after “La Buse”, aka Olivier Levasseur, perhaps the Indian Ocean’s most famous pirate. Rock à la Buse is a kick-ass rock concert held every March in Saint-Denis, Reunion. It includes a comic book festival with participants from the Indian Ocean, which includes Africa. Bitterkomix (my series with fellow artist Anton Kannemeyer) gets an invite every year. I would have been there two months ago, but thanks to The Plague, this year’s edition was cancelled. This playlist is dedicated to my friends Pascale Perso (from the band Kilkil) and her husband, Gael Mallet, who both organise the festival. It’s a great playlist for brew day, but it also gets me going when I get in my car at 3 am to hunt kob. If you don’t like it loud, this one is not for you. Crank it up metalheads!”
