Last night I got to hang out with Suburban Saints who have come to SA on their first international tour, not only can they down beers like it’s going out of fashion but they are also pretty funny. You can catch their first show in Joburg on Saturday at The Woods with Desmond. For a full list of their shows click here! You can win tickets to the show, all you need to do is check out my FB page.
I can’t really describe their music but if I had to I would go with a mix of Brit Pop/ Indie Rock…but you should probably take a listen for yourself!
These are my two fav songs of theirs
The guys all met while studying music production at University in Aberdeen and in true Indie style don’t care much for money and would love to quit their day jobs and just play music and hang out with each other and of course pick on David.. They are super excited to be in SA so let’s show them a good time!
David Temple , Lead Guitar, wishes he could sing, all round band punching bag, doesn’t know who Robert the Bruce is.

If you could be a superhero who would you be: Well I know Jamie would have said Batman…so I’m going to go with Ironman because he’s awesome and arrogant.
South African band you are most excited to watch: Desmond and the Tutus
Best live band you’ve ever seen: The Arctic Monkeys, I’ve only seen them twice but they are amazing and probably my biggest musical influence.
Jamie Mackie, Lead Vocals and Rhythm Guitar, youngest and shortest member of the band…can do the worm, madly in love with his girlfriend and prefers vomiting in cars.

If you could be a superhero who would you be: Batman because I would look great in a utility belt. Utility belts are the best.
