Represent Recommends: The New Academics
Ok, so we’ve had the dudes’ album launch on Represent and mentioned them in a few gig guides, but busy Editorista just didn’t get around to seeing them until she was invited to the One Small Seed party last week…. Thanks to OSS for giving us a chance to enjoy The New Academics live – we loved ’em. We hate to compare bands but it’s more about givng you our dear readers, an idea of their style….think Maroon 5 soul, 340ml funk and a whole lot of rocky energy and vibe. Don’t know where the singer’s voice comes from (you’ll know what we mean when you see ’em live) – but damn the boy got some! We were impressed and will be purchasing their album – and that’s why we recommend ’em to you all – see their website here and next time they’re on the line-up, GO GO GO! They’re playing on the 1 Dec at Woodstock 9 in Harrismith – Visit http://www.woodstock.co.za/ for details. Watch these boys – they’re going places!!! Nice one SA music!
