Eternal South African rock music supporter, and
award-winning journalist,
Gary Cool, has spread his wings and landed a time
slot on international radio station, Team Rock Radio. Always pushing to bring
South African music into the spotlight through cutting edge music journalism,
this former Capetonian has always been an advocate for local music, and a
wellspring of information on anything and everything in the South African music
industry. Team Rock Radio is an international, online radio station. DJing
alongside the like of Bruce Dickinson, Chris Jericho, the editor of Metal Hammer
magazine, and many others, he will be bringing his own South African flavour to
the station. Utilising this platform as a springboard for South African
artists, he will be showcasing South African music to the world - from
interviews to reviews, opinion pieces to debut playlistings, Gary will be
giving the South African music scene the international exposure it has always
deserved. “I have been fortunate to do a lot in the South African music scene –
from having my open letter to Bruce Springsteen result in him touring the
country, to emceeing some of the biggest stages in South Africa, but none of
that seems as surreal as having a show on Team Rock Radio. This has been a
dream of mine for years, and I look forward to sharing my love of South African
music on an international stage; hopefully opening doors for South African
artists across the globe. Plus, who wouldn’t be excited about being on the same
station as Bruce Dickinson?” says Gary Cool. Even after interviewing the likes
of the Foo Fighters, Slash, Bring Me The Horizon (and many, many more), Gary’s
focus remains firmly on bolstering the South African music scene, with special
attention always being given to unsigned and underdog artists.
