Andre who are some of your fav south african bands? Can you tell us some of the bands you speak of?
Justin? A few that come to mind are Little Sister, they got 5 album now but thye first 3 are good female fronted melodic rock ala Heart.
Also Seven, a U.K S.A combo... they did a couple of cd single e.p's, great stuff, John Parr got em a song, they've re recorded thier songs which will be released through Escape Music.
Then there's Stingray, kinda legendary pomp act, they've had thier album reissued on cd a few times now.
I know there's several more, but very much on the obscure side.. shame that they aren't more known.
