Joburg can't seem to get enough of Absinthè! After completely selling out in November and with many people having to be turned away disappointed, this classic acoustic duo will be back for an additional night, by popular demand, at the quaint Sandton establishment, The Library at The Brazen Head on Thursday, 11 December from 8pm.
Absinthè is the acoustic rock collaboration between two of the country's finest powerhouse performers; Cito and Paul E Flynn; lead singers of WONDERboom and Sugardrive. They have been teasing the South Africa audiences with very select shows from their group, Absinthè, over the past few years, taking them on an elaborate musical journey.
Absinthè perfectly embodies the spirit of the project with a simple concept. No originals, just covers

Cito and Paul have taken an informal approach to some of their favourite songs from the last century. The duo is a laid-back fusion of two unique and diverse voices accompanied by both on acoustic guitars. Intended to charm those in an unplugged environment, Absinthè has entertained music lovers with an awesome show of great alternative classics to contemporary favourites.
Through jamming together, Cito and Paul found that they had similar taste in music. They thought it’d be a unique concept to keep them busy and having fun interpreting mutually admired songs by their great legendary influences such as Joy Division, the Verve, Pixies, Placebo, House of Love, Coldplay, Depeche Mode, Johnny Cash, The Mission and many others. Cito and Paul have chosen this format to pay tribute to a way of life, and some great music, with their own unique signature.
Taken from their Double CD debut album "A Rendezvous at Nirvana", 2012 saw the group release their long-awaited Music Video for the Joy Division hit, "Love Will Tear Us Apart" to a great response and culminated in an MK Award Nomination last year.

Says Cito, "Paul and I were overwhelmed by the great response for our first night at jam-packed The Library, especially not being allowed off the stage at the end on our first evening, we will most definitely be pulling out all the stops for this upcoming gig."
Cito continued; "It's my last public performance for the year with my various music projects, so I look forward to a rocking party to round up a great 2014!
Should the patrons wish to, The Library also has an extensive a-la-carte menu for guests to enjoy a meal along with the inclusion of this beguiling music experience, thus ensuring it will be an evening not easily forgotten by those in attendance.
