Dear Robert,
Do you mind if I call you Robert? Obergruppenführer McBride sounds so formal. Besides, I feel like I already know you since we both have ties to Durban.
I used to drink in the bars along the beachfront and you used to blow them up. Had I not been in a state of penury on [...]
A Legend of the Abelarde. A pleasure and honour to have have had them on stage.

Highly rated jazz-fusion outfit made up of so-called “name” session muso’s. They sounded so terrible during the soundcheck I refused to let them play the gig. Oh deary me. It was safer and less stressfull for all concerned to listen to the house Dj for the evening while we all got blotto.

The passion of Mark (Sparky) Osborne. Electro pop at its cheeziest. The band revolved around Sparky on vocals, with friends chipping in when the backing tracks didnt work, which was more than often.
Individuals like T-bone (ex Live Jimmy Pressly), Andrew Kay, Derick, Pamela (ex Albino Tarbugs), James/Shenena all featured somewhere in the line-up.
Sparky in full [...]
Played in the early days of the Abelarde. Rock outfit. 3 to 4 piece I think. Remember the drummer was wearing huge fake tits … like the ones you buy in a novelty shop? Apart from that …. no idea what they sounded like. Do remember that they partied all night. Throwed them out with [...]
Abstract Evil Barbee had their first gig at Wings in Braamfontein. It was founded with Manik, Cliff and Donovan together with Martin. The name came from Manik’s comic published in Get The Funk Out magazine – Evil Barbie. Due to trademark issues, it was changed to Abstract Evil Barbee. Cliff did the background music, Don [...]
No frills hard rock four piece outfit with big influences of Iron Maiden (particularly the vocal style). Fronted by Francois Bredenkamp an imposing, aggressive and energetic vocalist. Supported on lead guitar by his brother, Dries, a girlfriend on bass and a smooth, hardworking drummer(help anybody?). They had a “tough guys from the south” image, [...]
A post punk outfit consisting of Pamela (vocals/guitar) and Riaan (guitar). Short lived, they were one of the first bands to play at the Abelarde. Jangled riffs, Pamela’s looks and suprisingly clear voice were not enough to survive as a band. Once they split as a couple the band and their music dissapeared overnight. Over [...]
