This triple bill brings a gang of South African singer-songwriters together. Spoken word stalwarts The Buckfever Underground (playing as trio on the night) bring their 19-date nationwide tour to a close at the Alexander Bar. Comedy-folkpunk duo Die Skynmaagde (think Flight of the Conchords... in Afrikaans!) join them as well as under-rated Hanru Niemand - if he doesn't make you cry... go buy another whiskey!

The Buckfever Underground: Toast Coetzer (lyrics, vocals), Stephen Timm (drums, synth) and Jon Savage (guitar, bass). The band (in full flight a 5-piece) has been around since 1998 and has about 9 albums to their name. The latest is called 'Verkeerdevlei'.

Die Skynmaagde: Henry Cloete (vocals, guitar) and Wilken Calitz (vocals, guitar). They're relatively new to the scene, but had a hit in 2012 with 'Die Kommunis Sokkie' with its video flighted heavily on MK.

Hanru Niemand: guitar & vocals. Hanru has two albums to his name, 'Tot Stilte' (2006) and 'Roepwoorde' (2010).

Audience Responses

All three acts were fantastic, highly enjoyable. The only problem was the heat upstairs became unbearable towards the end.

Skynmaagde - wish I could get that hour of my life back. Really, I tried to find some way out of the back of the room whilst they were playing. Wonder how anyone could like them, wonder why they feel the need to share their whatever? Buckfever Underground were totally awesome - made the night. Would definitely watch them again!

Fantastic show - please get them back again soon. Only comment would be that it got a bit warm in the theatre - a little bit more aircon would have been welcome. Otherwise, it was great!
