| Band Description |
GOODLUCK This upshot act from Cape Town, South Africa have taken their fans by storm with what has been a whirlwind 8 months of performing their residencies in the Mother City. Formed in late 2008 Juliet Harding, Ben Peters and Raiven Hansmann forged the group into the finely polished act that audiences across the country have been blown away by. The electric performance staged by the trio has had dance floors packed and fans chanting for more.
With influences ranging from St Germain, Morcheeba and Faithless their unique approach to dance music has molded their sound into a blend of live instrumentation, delicious dance grooves and the sultriest of vocals. A dash of jazzy keyboards and funky sax add just the right amount of spice to this hot combo. Snapped up half way through the ’08 Summer-Season, Karma Lounge in Camps Bay secured the groups first residency every Sunday with roaring results. So much so - that the residency continues long out of season and into fast approaching winter. Daddy Cool grabbed them up next signing up for Wednesdays in Winter and the fabled Camps Bay Lounge Club Baraza nabbed Thursdays making this one of the most fiercely desired acts in Cape Town. The first quarter of 2009 has certainly shined on the band!
With a debut single burning time in the studio and a video in pre-production, airwaves will soon be buzzing with the hooky brilliance of Sweet Janine, soon to be followed by a 5 track EP and a full length album – these electronic geniuses seem to have a very determined plan for their success.The band have already toured Johannesburg performing alongside Napalma, they opened for the esteemed Goldfish for the 3 night extravaganza at Spier in Cape Town and are following suit with a tour with Goldfish to Durban as their support act in May. Internationally they have elicited interest from both Dubai and Ibiza and are setting their sights there and further afield to the Asian markets. |
