Jose Gonzalez, one of our favorite sombre folkies, is coming to Kuwait. REUSE 4.0 is clocking him in between his Australian and European tour with his new band Junip to stop over in Kuwait City for a one night only show at the environmentally conscious exhibition. His show will be of his solo material from both his albums, Veneer and In Our Nature, which are Loft965.com favorites. The show will take place in the Australian College of Kuwait (ACK).

Let’s hope we hear some new songs alongside classics like “Heartbeats,” “Crosses” and the impeccable cover of Kylie Minogue’s “Hand On Your Heart.” Click below for more information on how to buy the tickets for the January 11th show.

“And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it’s done
I hope you don’t mind
I hope you don’t mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you’re in the world”

- Elton John on “Your Song”

Kuwait: Team Ibtihal

Although we are deeply rooted into politics, we’ve strayed away from local politics recently, not because of a lack of interest, but because the current medium is so backwards and depressingly uncouth. And we frankly have lost any passion in explaining the notion advancement to neanderthal minds. So, it is always a breath of fresh air when a well-spoken, well-educated female activist of human rights, liberty and equality delivers a message of progress and development. Although we don’t completely agree with her (as we tend to more radical leftists), we feel like she is the closest thing to a political figure we can identify with on certain levels. At any rate, it’s always a good day to see liberals spring up and voice their opinions instead of staying in the closet.
