Welcome to The Daily Discharge! Glad you could make it. We’re here to serve you up the latest news, trash-talk, music and anything else we feel like dishing up. Allow me to introduce you to your hosts.
(Please note, most of the facts on this page are actually lies)

Jason Dude - Editor-in-Chief, Author, Bad Photographer Preferred Sectors: Music, Politics, Popular Culture About Jason: Jason left behind promising careers in punk rock and Existential Philosophy to work for The Daily Discharge full-time. He can often be spotted at gigs, sometimes with a camera. He enjoys skinny jeans, Heineken and Jagermeister, local music, fine drinking establishments and questionable joints. |

Kyle Ecks - Author, Misanthropist Preferred Sectors: Music, Fashion, Internet Culture About Kyle: Unlike Norman Conquest (who believes that most people are out to get him), Kyle is actually out to get most people. He lurks in the shadows of Observatory most nights, preying on unsuspecting girls who could plausibly be over 18. He enjoys recreational and equine drugs, surveillance equipment, coca cola, Marlboro Filters, xkcd, razor blades and fashion accessories that double as weapons. He hates everything else. |

Paul White – Author Preferred Sectors: Popular Culture, Philosophy, Music, Internet Culture About Paul: Paul is an author and a journalist, and is very famous. He enjoys plaid, having pretty great hair and the warm, comforting glow of an LCD monitor. He is the co-author of HEADLINE payoff, and a bunch of stuff you’ve probably read if you hang out at Assembly two hours before the bands start, and he is pretty much always right so you should do what he says. |
 |
Richard LT – Author, Technical Consultant Preferred Sectors: Politics, Technology & Internet, Consumer Activism About Richard: Richard is a Guinness drinker and a frequent flier. Richard (if that is his real name) is believed to still work for MI5, but is currently in deep cover as a software consultant. When he’s not broadcasting his pirate signal he can be found in a pub, enjoying some sweet black Irish stout. |

Norman Conquest – Director of Finance, Mad Scientist, Bad Astronomer Preferred Sectors: Finance, Politics, Fear-mongering, Paranoid Delusions About Norman: Norman began his career in mergers and acquisitions. However, after leading a series of successful hostile takeovers in Southern England, he became disillusioned with the money-driven hegemony we live in. He decided to retire early and move to South Africa, where he could begin to sow dissent amongst the populace, and spread the truth about the Illuminati and their minions. He believes that Kyle is trying to get him. |
 |
Solly Assrovich – Company Wizard, Author Preferred Sectors: Rants, Raves, and Inner Workings of The Daily Discharge About Solly: Nobody knows quite where Solly came from, but it is rumored that he once played saxophone for an all-girl cabaret in New Orleans, and that his last real job was as a nipple-slip spotter on Baywatch. He is a music marketer extroadinaire, likes easy money and expensive women, and is probably with your girlfriend right now. |

Nick Corné Krige - Author, Sports Correspondent Preferred Sectors: Sports, Motor Industry, Anywhere That’s Licensed About Nick: Nick plays hockey and Football Manager, and drinks a lot of Castle. He is a full-time journalist, and occasionally graces our pages with his words and explicit images. He enjoys the finer things in life. Gandalfs, Tiger Tiger, poker nights and binge drinking. He is currently available. |

Laurinda “Klippie” Snyman – Music Correspondent (Joburg) Preferred Sectors: Live Music, Mosh Pits, Circle Pits, Gravel Pits About Laurinda: Klippie is from Joburg, and therefore owns a large collection of pet rocks. As the newest member of the Discharge team, she is the only one who has any clue what bands play up North, and what you should be doing with your weekends if you find yourself there. She enjoys brandewyn & Coke, Converse, desaturated photos and peeling those plastic cover-things off new cellphones. |

Cameron Richards – Staff Photographer Preferred Sectors: Light & Magic, Worldcraft, Rock ‘n Roll About Cameron: Cameron enjoys cool shit, Early Fridays and growing his hair. He spends his time drifting between Michaelis, Orms and Long Street, and occasionally ventures into the deep South to meditate in preparation for exhibitions. He drinks whiskey, if you’re buying. You can catch up on his latest photos and antics at cameronrichards.com |
