About the bands:
Nomadic Orchestra are a five-piece brass dance band, based in Cape Town, South Africa. The primary goal of the Nomads, as they’re affectionately referred to, is to get people moving. The band plays an infectious kind of high-energy dance music guaranteed to get feet tapping and limbs flailing.
Their music can’t be defined by one specific genre, as they combine elements of Afro-Balkan, Jazz, Punk, Rock, Hip Hop and everything in-between. One thing however is for certain, and that is that they are the ultimate party starters and as such have played pretty much every prominent music festival in SA, as well as one very successful European tour!
Another one of the pandemic band babies, TOUGHGUY started in November 2020 during Cape Town's hard af lockdown. They play a mixture of hard, garage punk with just a whif of psych. It took the world going to shit to get these four long-time admirers of each other's music to finally get a room and start playing together. Now you can enjoy one of the most positive consequences of the pandemic, right in your ears.
WE KILL COWBOYS is a Cape Town based, Four Piece, Psychedelic Rock Band, the brainchild of Tattoo Artist and singer-songwriter, Alex Muller.
The initial project was born out of the 3-month lockdown of 2020 when Alex had the time to rediscover her musical roots and put together a collection of songs for her first solo EP, entitled Let it Burn. The EP was recorded by long-time friend and fellow musician (and legend in the Cape Town underground scene) Jon Shaban at STFD studios. A record deal with STFD and Just Music swiftly followed and, with lockdown restrictions easing, thoughts soon turned to turning the EP into a live prospect.
While the EP had reflected the more melancholic isolation of the lockdown experience – sparse arrangements, built around acoustic guitar and Alex’s plaintive voice, a gut feeling was compelling her to seek a bigger, more electric sound.
Approaches were made to good friends from years gone by in the scene and soon enough, the group gathered in the live room at the label office to spin some shapes. Things exploded from there with the band drawing on their varied influences, spanning Metal, Punk, Rock n Roll, Country, Western Classical, Indian Raga, Folk, Blues and a host of other genres besides.
Lyrically, Alex delivers a raw, uncompromising and anti-establishment polemic, drawing directly from her lived experiences in the music scene and the world at large.
We Kill Cowboys is raw energy. We Kill Cowboys is having a good time. We Kill Cowboys is about flipping the bird to conformity while sipping on some ice-cold Lemonade...
