More details to follow. Watch this space... im about to make some real noise...
The Little Kings
Originally started as an acoustic duo in 2007, The Little Kings have since begun to experiment with their sound, pushing the boundaries of rock and reggae into new realms and a style that is distinctly theirs. A great mix of fusion and a strong lyrical prowess. The Little Kings are spreading their message of social awareness across a crowd which is keen and passionate about their message and their music. Garnering great support from a constantly growing fan-base the 5...
Hot Water
Hot Water’s live performance is a dynamic and often spontaneous tapestry of inspired songs from one of their two albums and their upcoming third album. Donovan compares the band to a wheel, seeing himself as the hub in the centre while the band and collaborators hold and help the whole wheel spin
Jack Mantis
This is a five-piece in the rising… Jack and bassist Jimi Curve have long been in each other’s lives, performing in various projects in and around Cape Town. With the inclusion of saxophinist George Sax, pianist Dom Benigno and drummer Jon Case the five piece is complete. Jack’s masterful, ‘Adam Duritz‘ way with lyrics, his booming voice and love of guitar suggest that the band is all acoustic with backup from the drums and bass. However, the acoustic element...
Jamapara and the Batalion
Jampara has combined his love for reggae music with his Burundi roots, which makes this not only a music performance but a unique experience because of the Burundi drummers. This experience established the Batalion as a good, international roots Reggae band which earned them recognition and respect. http://www.myspace.com/jamparamusic
Hog Hoggidy Hog and the Rudimentals
The name Hog Hoggidy Hog has been etched deep into the mosh-wounds of the South African scene. It’s been over a decade of action-packed, music, mishchef and mayhem since the young hoglets first blessed the decaying stage of the Purple Turtle with their debut performance. Now all these years, a few well received releases and with a good number of nationwide as well as European tours under their belt, having shared the stage with the top acts in the world of their genre...
Boulevard Blues
The Boulevard Blues band has been rocking music lovers at venues, events and festivals in South Africa for over a decade, liberating their fans with nourishing soulful Blues and Rock. The band sets high standards in both music genres with their pure quality music that’s easy to listen to, and offering an unprecedented and entertaining live performance
D-seven
D-seven are an all-male a’capella vocal performance group from Cape Town.Performing on some of the world’s largest platforms with top national artists, D-seven have established themselves as a premier entertainment act with a high level of media currency. A’Capella (voice only) music has, for an exceptionally long period, suffered under the impression that it was a music genre lacking sex appeal, audience-accessibility and commercial viability BUT NO LONGER.
Blues Broers
The Blues Broers pride themselves on producing an exceptionally fine, versatile and diverse live show. New drummer Tim Rankin brings his considerable experience to the rhythm section. Rob Nagel (fondly known as Big Bob or Harpdog Bob) deftly juggles bass, harmonica and tea chest.The impeccable Albert Frost performs on a classic selection of electric and acoustic guitars whilst in a corner of the stage, keyboard player Simon Orange hammers a boogie-woogie for the...
McCree
MCCREE is a 4 piece rock band from Cape Town, formed by ex Kelvin Declined singer, Mark McCree. Having almost finished recording their debut album, the band has already had offers from record companies who have spotted something special within them. The band consists of Mark McCree (Vocals and guitar), Richard Brodrick (Drums), Tristan Carmichael (guitar/Keys) and Lorne McGregor (Bass). Their music has a solid rock base with catchy melodies and hook-laden guitar riffs.
Dan Patlansky
What Dan Patlansky can do with a six-string Fender Stratocaster at the age of 28, most critically acclaimed guitarists will never quite achieve in a lifetime. In only ten years on the music scene, Dan Patlansky is one of the busiest and most respected blues artists to ever come out of South Africa. Constant touring as a teenager, won Dan the hearts of even the most hardened blues critics.
Bed on Bricks
Bed on Bricks is a unique feature on the South African musical landscape – a band whose sound is not easily defined, does not fit comfortably in any specific genre, thereby not appealing to a specific group of listeners. Yet they’re a regular feature on the main stages of the country’s major music festivals, have a diverse and fanatical following as well as proving to be an inspiration for countless other musical acts.
7th Son
Born from the womb of the Mother City, comes a band like no other, a band that defies parameters and exists on the sharp side of ‘rude, rock, reggae’. Formed in the summer of 2000, 7th Son quickly grew into an arsenal of acoustics and expanded their backline with the incorporation of some of South Africa’s tightest musicians into the mix. 7th Son gained fast popularity, and it wasn’t long after the release of their first entirely self-produced album,...
Nate Maingard
Cape Town is the city of cold surf, rugged mountains, raw creativity and thus, not surprisingly, Nate Maingard – a self-taught musician who cut his teeth in his dad’s guitar-making workshop and has since been carving out his own unique sound. With a voice that has been compared to Radiohead’s Thom Yorke, and an easy style reminiscent of the likes of Damien Rice, Jack Johnson and Coldplay, Nate Maingard is the real deal, delivering catchy indie-folk/soft rock...
Stark Raving Sane
Their self-appointed genre ‘World rock’ is a clue to influences that range from classical, Indian, and African music, Heavy Metal, Hip hop, Rock and Folk right through Jazz and Electronic music. They are well known for their plethora of exotic instruments on stage, becoming famous for being ‘the three guys with thirty instruments’. Anything from African and Indian percussion instruments (kitchi gbo, talking drum and tabla respectively) and Tibetan singing bowls...
