The Buckfever Underground

The Buckfever Underground launches their new album, ‘LieweHeiden’, at Kaapstad Toneelhuis in December. Tonight’s set will include a selection of songs from the album such as the title track, plus “Die Nagorno-Karabakh-blues”, “Like a Tiny Bell”, “To the Mountains” and “Gebed van die Skilpad”.

The band consists of Toast Coetzer (lyrics, vocals), Stephen Timm (drums) and Righard Kapp (guitar).

The new album will be available for sale on CD, alongside other merchandise like lyric books and T-shirts. ‘Liewe Heiden’ was recorded in August 2026 at Sharp Street Studio by Willem Möller (Die Gereformeerde Blues Band, The Kêrels).

About the band:

Best described as a “bilingual spoken word act driven by experimental, improvisational music” they have forged a singular path in the local scene – every show offers something new and unexpected.

The Buckfever Underground was formed in Grahamstown/Makhanda in 1998 but have been based in Cape Town since the early 2000s. Variously playing as anything from a five-piece to a duo, they have performed at festivals like Oppikoppiand Aardklop and released (about) 12 albums over the years.

Music:

Other releases include ‘Voortvlugtend’ (2022), ‘Satelliet’ (2020) and ‘Last Days of Beautiful’ (2019). Music available on streaming platforms or for purchase at:
