Ken jy die happy dans, Zombie? ,,, Somerfaan

"Ja, die lewe is maar swaar vir ‘n alternatiewe Afrikaner," sing Koos Kombuis in sy bekende liedjie Bomskok Babbelaas. Mens weet nou nie of Somerfaan hiermee saamstem nie, maar hy en sy band "is going to give you a kosmiche ride into the not so distant future" Vrydagaand as hulle hul klanke laat hoor in die Kreet van Afrika show by die Atterbury Teater. Kom ons maak so bietjie kennis met hierdie band wat "jam so all over the show."

Somerfaan is a two-times national SAMA award winner and presently resides on planet Earth, in Melville, Johannesburg, South Africa.

Martin Schofield is Vocalist and Guitarist extraordinaire. He is also a member of Wonderboom.

Lanimybru is a vocalist in the Somerfaan Band. Occasionally she dabbles in the film industry. Some collaborations include: Rian Malan, Radio Kalahari Orkes, Wrongman, Jim Neversink and Lonesome Dave Ferguson.

The Bassbot is a filthy droid from the underground. A rumbling, grinding, single-note sequencer from a paradigm of Math Core precision and Dub/Jazz soliloquy.

We look forward to welcoming 

the Somerfaan Band to the Atterbury Theatre

 

See you there!
