About Me

We are a 3 piece band / songwriting team based in Thornton, Cape Town - South Africa. Collectively we have about 90 years music playing and performing experience - that means we either started very young or we are damn old! (Kidding). Dave has played in a number of bands locally and in Europe /U.K. JT and Pete have played in and around Cape Town mostly. We write songs together and only perform our own works as a Band. Our fans and us believe we have a good thing going and ply our trade as a hobby for now but we dream of "making it" as songwriters / artists and then leaving our day jobs - (as many bands do). Our tunes are generally Soft Rock, with some blues and ballads thrown in for good measure. We love what we do and long to do it everyday - all day! We will only stop playing when they lay us down in a wooden box someday!
