Video: Prime Circle ready to rock Olifants River Lodge
They performed at the 46664 Nelson Mandela concert and played alongside legendary American bands Metallica, Simple Plan, and Good Charlotte
Our boys are coming back to our valley for a concert.
Fans will be ecstatic to hear that Prime Circle will be performing at Olifants River Lodge on February 22.
It seems like only yesterday when a very young Ross Learmonth, the frontman of popular South African rock band nervously came into a photographic studio here in eMalahleni for the band’s first photoshoot together.
Marco Gomes, bass guitarist then said they are going the full circle and he predicted that they will become a household name, and so they did.
The band debuted in 2002 with their album ‘Hello Crazy World’, which propelled them onto the South African rock scene.
Their blend of rock, pop and bass undertones combined with Learmonth’s distinctive voice was a breath of fresh air for local rock lovers.
In 2005 they released ‘Live This Life’.
In 2006 the band started touring as supporting act of the band Live.
They performed at the 46664 Nelson Mandela concert and played alongside legendary American bands Metallica, Simple Plan, and Good Charlotte.
Their third album ‘All or Nothing’ was nominated for four Sama awards (South African Music Award) in 2008.
The band continued to play alongside international bands that had concerts in South Africa, like Korn, Muse and 30 Seconds to Mars.
The album ‘Jekyll and Hyde’ was released in 2010, which did extremely well in the South African charts.
Their next two albums ‘Evidence’, 2012 and ‘Let The Night In’, 2014 offer songs with fresh creative energy and edge that delights fans.
In 2016, the band embarked on an international tour, performing in Germany, Austria, and Scandinavia.
Their newer music also features more electronic and pop sounds, which showcases the band’s growth and adaptability to the market.
Prime Circles album ‘If You Don’t You Never Will’, 2017 has a softer, lyrical sound and encapsulates the band’s evolution.
Fans were spoiled with yet another album in November last year when their eighth album ‘Live World’ was released.
This album is truly different because they have taken their 25 live recordings done in several countries around the world in several years and put it on an album so that you can listen to them live in the comfort of your home.
Tickets for Prime Circle’s Live Summer Tour are R210 per person and available from Computicket. Concert doors open at 18:00.
