ABOUT
For those that know, you know, for those who don't, Taleswapper easily one of the most intriguing and singular acts we've had cross the stage at The Alma Cafe. Part Barhouse Blues, part Tom Waits dread and part Character Performance where the beginning of the piece, and the end of reality are entirely blurred, Taleswapper is genuinely a unique offering in a world full of like for like

About the Band (in their own words):
Taleswapper breaks free from the ever growing mechanical and digital influence of the new world. They are a rare glimpse into the past. A musical TRIP of homemade instruments, pub poetry and songs that can tear the soul from you. An experience unparalleled today. If you haven’t seen Taleswapper… well then you’re about ready...
The band has been a fixture on the Cape Town scene for well over a decade, playing tiny rooms, bars, taverns, venues and festivals all over.
They are a band very much making music for music (and aficianados) sake, a Taleswapper gig is like a portal into a different time. Think Peaky Blinders, the musical, with Tom Waits as the composer and impresario. Dark, haunting, intense and utterly compelling.
