Sugardrive were a formative influence on me and I was beyond thrilled when my friend Kerry-Anne Allerston hooked me up with Paul, singer of this legendary South African band. Their debut, 'Hey God It's Me Again' made a massive impact on all of us, and 'Sand.Mand.Sky' is a bona fide classic record. The song 'Disco Lazarus' off third album 'When I Died I Was Elvis' took them to new heights with extensive national airplay.No wonder they headlined Oppikoppi multiple years running, they were just untouchable live.We talked right through their career and Paul was astute, well-spoken and a real laugh throughout. Also, he remembered everything really clearly, which was a real treat. This episode is a proper full circle moment and I am super proud to be able to have recorded it. Thank you so much to Paul and Kerry-Anne for making this happen. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Gareth Wilson (Southern Gypsey Queen | Oppikoppi Booker | Romeos) An open-hearted, multi-angle take on the music industry. So many stories! Gareth Wilson affectionately known as G Willy in the South African music scene is known best known as the Oppikoppi booker, SGQ front-man and owner of several venues and restaurants like Good Luck Bar and Romeos. In today's interview, we talk about what inspires him, the value of learning to play music in a church band, the story behind Southern Gypsey Queen, booking for Oppikoppi, the difference between verse people, chorus people and bridge people, and the reason his guitar is gathering dust. The truth is that he has done almost every music industry job out there and nothing has ever been to small for him. Whenever he hosts a major event he still believes it to be unlucky if he doesn't buy the first ticket or hand out the first 100 flyers. "If it weren't for music I would still be selling slip slops in a surf shop in the Eastern Cape." Outro music (Used with permission from rights holder) "Be The Lion" by Southern Gypsey Queen, Black Cat Bones and Tidal Waves.

Shane Durrant is the frontman of Desmond and the Tutus, the Pretorian DIY indie-rock band that spearheaded an entire scene in South Africa. Known for their unique style of indie-rock and outlandish onstage antics, just as well as they are for their left-field name, the Tutus burst onto a scene that was more concerned with mainstream rock, ultimately finding a home on MK89 and an audience amongst a growing underground twenty-something community. Rooted in strong kwela melodies and a DIY indie-punk attitude, they spearheaded an entire new wave of underground bands - from Oppikoppi to Osaka, Japan - and Shane explains their unconventional path to owning the moniker of “three time award-losing” band.    Outro Song: Hard Work Apple Music Spotify YouTube Featured Tracks: Teenager - Desmond and the Tutus Apple Music Spotify  Lazy Bones - Desmond and the Tutus Apple Music Spotify YouTube Peter - Desmond and the Tutus Apple Music Spotify YouTube What Am I Gonna Do With You - Desmond and the Tutus Apple Music Spotify YouTube   MASSIVE shout out to Desmond and the Tutus for the generous use of their music and support in bringing this podcast to life.
