The Little Kings

sarah — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 13:30:57 +0000

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 piece band are led by Ryan Kidwell on lead vocals and guitars and Ryan Mcarthur on bass, Nick Ornellas on drums, Clement Carr on keys and sax and Bongiwe Mpanza on backing vocals.

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

sarah — Sat, 14 Jan 2012 13:15:21 +0000

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 is a mere base for the band to explore greater genres sub-cultures and influences.

Jamapara and the Batalion

sarah — Sat, 07 Jan 2012 13:30:34 +0000

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

sarah — Sat, 17 Dec 2011 13:30:13 +0000

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 such as Nofx, Mad Caddies and Lagwagon, nothing much has really changed. They may be somewhat more professional, a bit more well known and sound a lot tighter but it’s sometimes still a struggle to keep singer, George Bacon’s clothes on.

The Rudimentals are an eight-piece ska/reggae band from Cape Town, South Africa. The band’s releases include two CDs, More Fire and Set It Proper, and a live DVD/CD combo of the 2007 Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens Concert. The band is signed to the United Kingdom based Moon Ska World distribution label. The group is one of a handful of Cape Town reggae-influenced bands, and has been described as a South African institution in tourist guides and on websites.

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

sarah — Sat, 26 Nov 2011 13:30:04 +0000

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

sarah — Sat, 12 Nov 2011 13:15:20 +0000

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 crowd.Known in the 90s as South Africa's hardest working blues band,
the Blues Broers played hundreds of gigs at festivals,in bars and in nightclubs.
However, the death of drummer Frank Frost in 1999 was a blow from which the
band struggled to recover and in 2003 they put on a farewell gig in
Stellenbosch.Now, snappily attired in their trademark black suits and dark glasses,
the Blues Broers are back in circulation with performances at old haunts and new,
as well as being a welcome featureof the festival circuit again too.
The band has just finished recording its sixth album, 
Out of the Blue which is due for release in November.
