This group of older rockers, nine of South Africa’s cream of the crop musicians, got together to bang about on their instruments purely for the fun of it.
The band play a mixed repertoire of original songs and Rock ‘n Roll oldies such as “ Johnny Be Good “, “ Roll Over Beethoven”, songs by Chuck Berry, the Rolling Stones, Bill Hayley, the Beatles, Cliff Richard and the Shadows, and the Doors.
The listeners are across the board, from 16 year olds to the white hair brigade. The Sound, which although mainly 50’s and 60’s rock ‘n roll, has been adapted to a more contemporary sound.
Apart from being very busy with private functions, the band have also done a number of TV Shows, such as the New Years Eve show, which was broadcast live from the Sun City Superbowl, and was beamed to most of Africa.
Past clients include BMW, Metcash, Nedbank, Wimpy, Investec Bank, Stuttafords, Rennies Travel, Rand Merchant Bank, Sun City to name but a few.
The band’s CD “ Get Vrot” which was released in South Africa late last year, is currently being released internationally by the Prestige Group of London.
