Lithium - Grunge From The Cape

LiTHiUM: 1992 - 1999 

"Lithium was my first "real" band. We started back in the early days when at least three quarters of your set had to be covers if you wanted to get the venue. We release three CD's (Broken, Take Out EP and Zennon Supertroopers) and a few cassettes (Live at Claremont Civic and Centuary Depravation) over the years and played hundreds of gigs around the country. Touring with Iron Maiden in 1996 and the 1995 Bandslam tour with Springbok Nude Girls, Sugardrive, Nine and Squeal were some of my personal highlights. We kept our fans really close to our hearts via old-fashioned snail-mail correspondence" - David Beretta Owens

"Broken" and "Take Out" were EMI South Africa releases. The final album "Zennon Super Troopers" was independently by the band. All albums are out of print and are essentially collectors items.

I will post the other 2 when i find them. They are in my room somewhere...

Captain Stu - Free Music

 
Captain Stu are something of a musical collective or “band”, based in Cape Town.  They have been touring and performing around the country since 2003. They blends ska, funk, punk and soul and  have several albums and music videos. they have had line up changes and started off quite mellow and jazzy with the odd punk rock song thrown in. The first time i watched them was at a "knife Fight" show with no ventilation and they still kick up the jams! This is their latest free album. It's very different from their previous stuff. GIVE IT A LISTEN!
