Die Melktert Kommissie

This South African band was formed in 2002 by a random collision of musicians who had come together for "Battle of the Bands"-type competition. The four-piece band consists of Lucinda Strydom (lead vocals and acoustic/electric guitar), Jean-Marie Korff (electric guitar and backing vocals), Jan-Adriaan Korff (drums and backing vocals) and Tim vd Westhuizen (bass guitar). The band has released 3 full-length albums so far and sing in Afrikaans (one of South Africa's languages). The sound of the band has progressed a fair bit from the style found on the first album (Volroom) and has found their own sound with acoustic rock, blues and intense vocally driven sounds. Many influences have come from other Afrikaans artists such as Koos Kombuis, Gert Vlok Nel and Karen Zoid to mention a few. Each member however has brought their own sound which when combined brought a sound which can stand on its own. Read more on Last.fm.
