Die Skim Grot Maak Oop!

Frikkie's and Frikkettes, the moment Pretoria has been waiting for is finally here! Die Skim Grot shop is having its official opening tomorrow, the 30th of June.

Die Skim Grot or as english peeps call it, the phantom cave, is an initiative started by the guy and girl at Doktrine. The concept behind "Die Grot" is that of an underground designer goodie shop with the emphasis on new and  exciting local designer products by local artists, bands and designers. The idea is to create that same excitement one gets when walking into a secondhand shop and not knowing what to expect or what gems you will find.

The opening event takes place tomorrow, 30th June, at Die Moederskip which is situated on the corner of Pretorius and Hilda streets in Hatfiled. Doors will be opening at 11h00 and the event will run until 19h00. Pull in for some great shopping, a bit of music, and a bit of dop! Bands featured tomorrow include the likes of Yesterdays Pupil, Yo Grapes, A skyline on Fire, Vampire 9000, Sassquatch, Doctor Khumalo and Spookwolf!! The times for the bands are as follows:

                                                                          12h00: Spookwolf
