…there’s a gem of a little pub called Steak and Ale, and a band called “Black Cat Bone” played a gig on their stage. A fitting description from their profile page:
“From the Silverton Swamps in the Far East of Pretoria comes Black Cat Bone. Born from a Muddy Waters lyric and raised amongst the patriot gators of the SA music industry, BCB plays a fused selection of Deep South Rock and Hoodoo Blues”
and from Channel 24 they “crack open a moonshined cocktail of Deep South Rock and Hoodoo Blues for your pleasure.”
Black Cat Bone is Andre ‘King Snake’ Kriel (vocals, electric axe), Kobus ‘da RAT’ de Kock (vocals, acoustic axe, harmonica), Wim.P ‘Capoeira’ van Vuuren (kit, percussion) and Cobiz ‘Bones’ Gerber (bass).
This is a must see act. I think the smallish venue added to the experience – these guys are large as life and pulls everyone into the show. You can not help as laugh at the constant banter between band members, audience & staff and the sounds are authentic blues.
An honorable mention for the opening act “Tot stilstand” who played their very first gig. Good stuff, looking forward to seeing you guys around.
