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:
