If you’ve ever had the pleasure of seeing Cape Town’s local band Face Jackson perform live, you’ll know that their brilliant instrumentals, great vocals, and overall groovy vibe make this band an unforgettable experience. Thanks to the release of their self-titled debut EP on 24 September, this same experience is now available to you, in the comfort of your home.
With a band name like Karel Bester en die Kraaines Band (Die Kraaines) and a self-described genre like “psychedelic boere-punk,” you are here to flip the script. Karel Bester, frontman of this up-and-coming four-piece Afrikaans rock band, sat down with us to talk about his musical journey and how it led him to the formation of Die Kraaines.
The South African psychedelic rock scene applauds their new it-boys: Moskitos. If you have not yet had the pleasure of experiencing this electrifying trio live, we suggest you add it to your bucket list — they are truly a wonder to behold. Garage rock, blues and funk are a few influences which make up this dynamic three-piece.
