Balzac Straat

About Me

About the Band:We are a band who basically want to write music about things that matter to us. Be they global or personal. We want to do predominantly Afrikaans but worry more about the message than the language. We try to write one original every 2-3 weeks or less but right now we play mostly covers at our gigs to put food on the table. Of course we try to have fun with cover music too :PAbout our members:Martin Roos- Half of the duo "Roosterbrood" and now the frontman for Balzac Straat! Martin digs booze and Rokkeloos (that kind of rhymes)/Sydney Butler - Professional nerd. Likes Anime (and girls?)/Quintin Butler -Syd's brother, Likes the drums, dislikes Syd,And he is as crazy as a Monkey on acid/Albert Etsebeth - has a weird last name and a huge gap where the 80's should be.
