Namuh - Biography
Namuh is a four piece Pretoria based band with a sound loosely described as grunge rap-core. Formed in 2005, our aim was to bring some diversity to the rock genre. In mid 2006 Namuh was joined by ex-chi turntablist Penyo(Dj FLUX) which brought a whole new sound to the band,creating better fills and more variety to the band. In 2007 we had to say goodbye to leigh, our drummer as he embarked on a new adventure in Dubai, since then we have had claude join our ranks as the new drummer. Through the years we have evolved into a successful, recognized band with a large & loyal following.

Band information:
Since Namuh began we have never remained stagnat. We continuesly gig where ever we can. We completely & independently advertize and creat hype around all we do. With commitment and dedication we treat our band like soldiers, getting ready for war. Practise is our boot camp, gigs are our fights, with intention not to defeat but recruit. We have put our blood sweat & tears into this band and will never be stopped. Our music has been described as screecthing guitars with overlay of mad turntables..solid drumming ranging from funky grooves to thrashing double bass.Overall Namuh is a crowd pleasing, professional band with captivating, highly energetic live performances. Driven by passion, we are determined and hard working. Our second single ..Stick in the mud.. has been well received and is receiving regular airplay on Tuks FM 107.2, creating excitement for our soon to be released 5 track EP. We are continuing to gig extensively and tour as much as possible to promote ourselves and expand our fan-base.We would like to create a culture around our music, an alternative direction which people can relate to. Our music is our voice we want the world to hear.
Our aim was to create something which appealed to the masses but still maintained our artistic freedom and unique Raw-core style. Namuh is fueled by who we are and what we stand for. This is portrayed in thought provoking, socially conscious and challenging lyrics. Invigoratingly catchy and heavy guitar matched with solid bass and explosive drum beats encompass an energy and sound the band prides itself on. The addition of DJ Flux has added an exciting new dimension to the overall sound and appeal of the band, elevating the mood and intensity of each song.
