3RD WORLD SPECTATOR formed in late 2007, and debuted in early 2008 with an infectious blend of soaring, operatic vocals, haunting melodies, huge guitars and rolling drums. Their lyrical themes mimic the diverse hybrid of styles they incorporate into their music such as electronica, hard and indie rock, opera and pop.
Best known for their meteoric rise to first place during the Virign Mobile Road to V competition late last year they have been making headlines ever since. They’ve been working tirelessly and touring endlessly getting their names on the lips of every scene-rocking-indie-hipster in the country. Not content to be just another local act, their performances transcend the ordinary. Part theatre and part rock star-chic, their live music is fraught with energy that consumes the senses and elevates the soul. Sharing the stage with the likes of international bands such as Maroon5 and OneRepublic confirmed their status as a highly engaging stage act.
Starting 2009 off with a bang, 3RD WORLD SPECTATOR has featured in every major publication, been named one of “The Top 10 Acts To See in 2009” by Tonight, signed a major endorsement deal with PF Flyers International and their single The Truth reached number 2 on the MK MxitMusic Top 5 and also made the MXitMusic Top 20 Biggest Songs of 2008.
The band is currently working on their debut full length album entitled The Theory of Everything. The recording sessions will take place at Sunset Recording Studios with SAMA award winning producer and engineer Jürgen von Wechmar at the helm of the production.
