South Africa - get read for history in the making for South Africa's first 'super group', Blood Brothers! Sony Max (DStv Channel 128) is the official media partner
for the not-to-be-missed once-off concert
Blood Brothers – taking place on Saturday, 18 July at
Carnival City – which sees history in the making as 10 South African musical
legends get together to form the country’s first ever super group. In true
super group style, each band member has been especially picked from a premiere
crop of local rock legends. Together on one stage for one performance, they
will perform three hours of the major hits that made them famous as well as
songs from international bands that have influenced their sound. They are Arno
Carstens (Springbok Nude Girls), Albert Frost (Blue Boers/Arno Carstens),
Francois van Coke (Fokofpolisiekar), George van der Spuy (Taxi Violence/Good Night
Wembley) and Kobus de Kock (Black Cat Bones) on vocals with Hunter Kennedy
(Fokofpolisiekar/aKING/Die Heuwels Fantasties) and Rian Zietsman (Taxi
Violence/Beast) on guitars; Loedi van Reenen (Taxi Violence) on bass and
guitars and Jason Hinch (Black Cat Bones) and Isaac Klawinsky (Shadowclub) on
drums. Never before have so many local legends agreed to partake in a venture
of this magnitude for a good cause. Forty percent of the proceeds go to the
charity initiative the Vrede Foundation which raises both funds and awareness
in the fight against cancer, especially amongst young people. Says Sonja
Underwood, Territory Director for Sony MAX: “Sony Max is delighted to be the
official media sponsor for this cutting edge concert, as it not only talks to
our audience but also reflects the channel aspirations.
Not only will Blood Brothers ensure an
unforgettable rock legacy but it is a powerful platform to help in the ongoing
battle against cancer.” Added Francois van Coke “ It’s really cool that Sony
Max is partnering on this amazing show.
I’m a fan of the channel and just got to love it even more.” The Blood
Brothers concert is produced by Vredevest to generate awareness amongst young
South Africans aged 15-29 regarding cancer and to raise funds and provide financial
aid to young South Africans with cancer who do not have medical aid.
