The Black Cat Bones De-Boned
Venue: Fanie’s Place
Date: 18/03/2016
Time: 20:30
The Black Cat Bones is a South African rock band formed in Silverton, Pretoria in 2007. The group consists of founding members Kobus de Kock jr (vocals) and Andre Kriel (guitars) with Chris van der Walt (bass) and Jason Oosthuizen (drums) rounding off what is considered to be one of the current top performing acts in the country.
Both their debut album ‘Silverton Swamp Songs’ (2009), and the critically acclaimed second helping ‘The Long Drive’ (2011) were heavily influenced by Kobus and Andre’s blues roots but, in 2013, the band released their third (SAMA nominated) studio album ‘Beatipliller’ which showcased their collective influences as a diverse 4-piece rock act.
In the same year the band also won the MK Award for ‘Best Live Act’ and emerged from being underground sub-culture champions to a group that is adored nationwide by a constantly expanding, and ever-loyal following from all walks of life.

In hierdie program besing Phillip en Okker die liefde, die lewe, en geloof – die drie spilpunte van ‘n vol en ryk lewe.
Dit is ‘n musikale reis, van die vroeëre romantiese tye, waar mooi musikale melodieë en soet woorde die liefde besing het, tot vandag se kragtige wysies en onbeskaamde liefdesverklarings. Die hele program word akoesties aangebied, met Phillip wat die begeleiding met klavier doen, en die sang wissel tussen pragtige duette en kragtige solo-sang. Moenie hierdie opvoering misloop nie!
Vrydag – Saterdag: 20:00
Sondag: 14:00
Koste: R130 per persoon.
