my favourite band in South Africa

Nearly every year a new band in South Africa is formed. It shows that there are an increase number of bands and an opportunity out there in the industry. There are so many bands in the country such as Abacuss, 1st project, 350 ml, Malaka, Afro Blue , Afro Fiesta , Afro Conque, Babu and Bala Brothers just to mention a few but Springbok Nude Girls (SNG) is my favorite band. The reasons for me liking the band is because they sexy and young, the beats are good and basically they just it for me. They never disappoints me when it comes to their beats.

Springbok Nude Girls (SNG) was at the top of the game in South Africa. They released a song and it went to Number 1. They released an album and it went to Number 1. They went on tour and it sold out. If I can remember correctly they had to move to the US to take it to the next step and chose not to due to certain circumstances. The Nude Girls were voted the Best South Africa rock band in a poll conducted by South African radio station 5FM

The Nude Girls introduced punk, sku acid jazz and metal into their songs, introducing a new world of music to the youth of South Africa in the early 1990s. The Nudies became not only favourites in South African households, but stars and influences in the South African music industry at large. The band has performed at various places such as at schools, festivals and concerts. One can see that they are working so hard to be on top of the other bands and they do deserve to be on top. I´ve heard this song for the very first time on my way from the airport of Cape Town to downtown, driving past some townships. Will never ever forget this moment! I love the band and especially the first song.


In 2003 I have watched them performing at V&A Waterfront, they were so good in fact it was my first time seeing the band performing live. I really don’t mind buying their CD because the price is worth. I’m one of the people that likes listening jazz and this band just do it for me. I listen to the music because of the beats not the words, as long as I shake my head and enjoy myself.

I will always support Springbok Nude Girls no matter what. They make South Africa proud and they rock.
