The band will also spend time on a farm in Newcastle in
Natal to write and record their next album.
Having formed in the multi-cultural hub of London,
Livingston searched high and low to find their collective musical feet. With
singer Beukes Willemse and a guitarist/keyboardist Chris van Niekerk from South
Africa, guitarist/percussionist Jakob Nebel from Germany and bassist Phil Magee
from the UK, it seemed almost impossible that their paths would cross. However
fate took hold when Beukes was re-united with Chris in London to find the
missing pieces to the Livingston puzzle. The band has since also set up roots
in Berlin and currently operates between the UK and Germany.
Finding their feet with 2008’s debut Sign Language and 2012’s
Fire To Fire (Universal Music Germany), the band achieved numerous successes
including Top 20 in the German Sales Charts and Number 1 Amazon & iTunes
Rock Charts. Their single “Broken” went to Top 20 and their second single “Go”
was the official song for German national broadcaster ZDF during the winter
Olympics of 2010.
The Band also collaborated with Hugh Masekela and Till
Brunner for a song for the Football World Cup in South Africa (2010).
The Band and their Music where also featured in the international
blockbuster movie Chalet Girl featuring Bill Nighy, Felicity Jones, Brooke
Shields and Ed Westwick.
Retreating to a hunter’s cabin in the woods just outside
Berlin, an unorthodox location for a band who had previously recorded at the
hallowed grounds of Abbey Road and Sonic Ranch with producers such as David
Botrill .(Muse, Tool, Placebo) The band wrote, produced, recorded and mixed
Animal entirely on their own. The result? Animal is Livingston at their purest.
Livingston released Animal in the UK, Benelux and GSA in
Autumn 2014, followed by successful tour where the band displayed their best
and most dynamic live shows to date. Listen to the single “Chemicals” off the
album (submitted to SA Radio in June 2015) here: https://soundcloud.com/livingstonmusic/livingston-chemicals-radio-edit
