The Black Cat Bones

The Black Cat Bones are a multi-genre conglomerate of likeminded music makers from Gauteng, South Africa. Andre Kriel, Kobus de Kock, Gareth Bunge & Casey Rothman form part of the core founded in 2007 and are regularly accompanied by an array of the countries most talented collaborates and guest artists. The bands captivating performances and diverse repertoire put them in a class of their own as they evolve from sub-culture champions to a group that’s adored nationwide by a constantly expanding, loyal following from all walks of life. BCB is recognised for their hard work ethic and respected among their peers as one of the most driven musical outfits in the country.


Evert Snyman & the Aviary

Evert Snyman is a multi-instrumental musician and songwriter from Johannesburg, best-known as guitarist and vocalist of alternative rock band, Pollinator. He has been involved in various bands, as a multi-instrumentalist. Among these are: alternative synth rock band, Swandy; doom-metal band, Mad God and Bombaby..


We Kill Cowboys

We Kill Cowboys is a Cape Town based, 4-piece rock ‘n roll band, the brainchild of tattoo artist and singer-song writer, Alex Muller.

The band fuses elements of psychedelic rock, punk rock ,grunge and stoner blues with an anti-establishment lyrical content, delivered by Alex’s raw, sultry, gritty vocals, Jono’s dirty, wielding guitar riffs, Andrew’s metal drum fills blasting alongside Danie’s fuzzy bass grooves … These guys are here to turn the amps right up and blow ear holes and minds.


Shameless

Shameless Band is a trio from Soweto who plays Rock slightly differently. With the influences of their everyday lives - they have dubbed their sound 'iRock Yase Kasi’ (Rock from the hood) or ‘Nkabi Rock’ (Hitman Rock). Their creativity is fueled by the music they grew up with: Phuzekhemisi, Stimela, Zola 7, and other South African musical leaders, and then also heavier bands like System Of A Down, At The Drive-In, Thin Lizzie, Deftones, and Tool. 


Caution Boy

Somewhere between the highway & the railroads of the Moot (Pretoria, South Africa), smothered by its suburban industrial coma, came a one man army (Andi Cappo), filled with punk screams, stoner basslines, pop grooves & screeching guitars. Caution Boy was born to tear your eardrums from your skull. It isn’t all mayhem though - Caution Boy also has a sensitive side, which can be seen during acoustic shows and on the acoustic album Misty Bedroom Blues (2017).


What started as a one man karaoke from hell, singing to his original pre-recorded backtracks, or playing solo sets acoustically, has evolved into a full live band that is set on setting souls ablaze with pure energy, passion & enthusiasm. The live band consists of Treveshan Pather (bass), Archie Kinnon (drums) & Andi Cappo (vocals & guitar).
