The last five years has seen the enigmatic front man of the
Jack Mantis Band travel the world living out his various passions as musician,
graffiti artist, adventurer and ultimately soul searcher. JMB (originally
formed as a trio with Jimmy Curve and Ronan Skillen) quickly established itself
as a household name within the Cape Town music scene in the 2000’s. They were
the darlings of Café Dharma (Kloof Street) and later Zula Bar and featured at
some of the country’s major festival line-ups. This the band accomplished
without releasing an album in South Africa, which remains testament to the
power that JMB’s live performance had even at the very start of their career.
Live performance is the quintessence of music for Mantis, which is expressed in
the various incarnations of the band’s stage show over the years.
Mantis has just joined forces with lead guitarist Andre
Geldenhuys (formerly Machineri, core member of Fantasma with Spoek Mathambo).
Born & raised in Kommetjie, Cape Town, Andre has worked with a host of top
calibre artists including session work for the likes of Jeremy Loops, Petite
Noir, Gazelle, Alice Phoebe Lou, Champions of the Sonarverse (DJ InviZAble) and
Patrick McCay (2 Minute Puzzle). Andre is also no stranger to operating abroad.
He has been based in France and Italy and has toured Europe with Spoek
Mathambo, including a landmark performance at SONAR – a festival known for its
pioneering cultural innovation. Andre shares the love for consciously evolving
musical boundaries.

the Mother City, Cape Town. Like most successful artists she grew up singing in
church and took lead roles in school performance groups, choirs and musicals.
In 2008 at the age of 17yrs, she entered a well-known South African singing
competition and made it to the Top 70. Janice did not make it to the final
rounds – Feeling rejected and despondent she chose to no longer pursue her
singing career. It was not until a few years later, when her childhood friend Jimmy
Nevis asked her to join his band as a backing vocalist. In 3 years Janice has
toured with Nevis and backed other artists such as Loyiso Bala and various
International Gospel Acts.Janice: “Getting to sing again in front of thousands,
hearing the crowds roar and working with such talented musicians/ artists made
me realise how much I missed sharing my gift – my voice.”

There are few acclaimed musicians, singers, songwriters,
producers and astute business minds that have the luxury of labelling
themselves ‘late developers’ when, in reality, they’ve already achieved more
than most will in an entire band’s collective lifetime.In the case of Cape Town
born-and-raised James Stewart, he not only fits the description to a T, he most
likely helped trademark the mould. That’s just how considered the Franschhoek-based,
Emmy-nominated, multi SAMA award winning, chart topping creative patently
is.Labelling himself humbly and austerely a ‘musician’, James has spent the
better part of his music career hell-bent on delivering seminal songs, most of
which have enjoyed extended periods of times hugging the very tops of the South
African and capturing hearts and minds around the world. Premillennial, The
Usual created Number One hits and immortal classics the likes of “The Shape
That I’m in” and “Like A Vision”. Signed to Street Level, James’ own label, BMG
Records (now SONY) soon came snooping, and the partnership carved a place in
our collective aural subconscious that continues to resonate today.
