Reasons I love the SA music scene – Mind Pool

Last time I was in Cape Town I had the privilege of witnessing Mind Pool live. It was a deeply satisfying experience to hear a live set that sounded even better than their great material on Soundcloud account. You honestly have to see this band live to get the full experience. You can feel the creativity and fun emanate from the stage in their music. The drummer is as tight a bolt in a german engine block. The bassist is so much more than thick strings through some pedals, he plays live synths that melt into your ears like a Lindt chocolate. Lets not forget the main vocals which are consistent and sound effortless.

Mind Pool is definitely a band to look out for on the South African scene. Download their latest soundcloud upload for mahala before its too late!

Over The Horizon – The Dirty Bandits

This South African duo is new on the scene but in the last couple months they have dropped some quality Hip-Hop tracks. All their tracks are available for download from soundcloud for free so grab them while you can. This particular song ‘Over The Horizon‘ has such a catchy sax melody that I’ve been singing it in my head all day. The Dirty Bandits consist of:

Jethro Lock (founder of The Indie Collective and The Night Owl, bassist for Hey!Bang!Dead! and fearless leader of The Tazers)

Oliver (chess master extrodinaire and sexy sax player)
