GO INTERNATIO­NAL: HEADLINING THE FESTIVAL IS UK BAND OF MONSTERS AND MEN

-

Get ready for a day of mixing music.

With internatio­nal headliner Of Monsters And Men, Sowing the Seeds is gearing up to be a must-be-there music festival.

An afternoon of euphoric melodies awaits on April 2 at Johannesbu­rg’s Emmarentia Dam with five acts taking to the stage.

With an unmistakab­le sound that features rocking strings, ragged vocals, bass beats, a sweet tambourine and boom bap raps, BCUC will take revellers on a musical journey as they tackle the harsh realities of the voiceless and uneducated through their music.

Indie pop band December Streets has been captivatin­g SA audiences with their definitive sound that fuses live elements with iconic synths.

Their addictive new-wave style is a combinatio­n of indie, pop and rock, seeing several of their singles chart across national radio stations.

The band opened for internatio­nal indie pop band The Kooks last year.

Blending folk with electronic undertones, singer and songwriter Matthew Mole is a musical mastermind combining his effortless skill with a formal education in music production.

Performing with his guitar, kick drum, synths and electronic­s, he has played at the Apollo London, the 2014 presidenti­al inaugurati­on, the Seattle Film Festival and more.

Of Monsters And Men is bound to set the stage ablaze as they perform their revered, engaging mix of indie, folk, and alternativ­e tunes.

From Lollapaloo­za, to Bonna- roo, Coachella, Glastonbur­y and more, the band has headlined some of the world’s most iconic music festivals, and are ready to

rock the afternoon away at Sowing the Seeds.

With a sold-out show in Cape Town, and a second added due to popular demand, the Johannesbu­rg leg of Sowing the Seeds is a show you definitely don’t want to miss. – Citizen reporter
