PLUM | AC/ES | BATTERY 9 - LIVE at SOGNAGE ROOM 2

THREE bands. No filler. No algorithms.

AC/ES is something different; not a reinvention, not a side project, more like a collision.

Arno Carstens (Springbok Nude Girls) and Evert Snyman (from The Aviary) didn’t overthink this one. They built it on instinct, repetition, and the kind of groove that pulls you in before you realise what’s happening. It’s lean, melodic, slightly left of centre rock music that feels like it’s being figured out in real time, on stage, in front of you.

PLUM never really left, they just went quiet enough for the rest of the scene to forget what provocative sounds like. Forged in ’96 and still wired straight into the mains, they don’t play genres so much as tear through them. Trip-hop bleeds into acid rock, funk locks into something heavier, and before you can pin it down it’s already somewhere else.

Also taking the stage is the legendary Battery 9, returning with renewed intensity. Pioneers of South Africa’s industrial rock movement, their resurgence is a must-see moment - raw, unapologetic, and as relevant as ever.
