Time for blood brothers to unite

The ragtag band of the fourth annual Blood Brothers – in Cape Town on September 22 and Pretoria on September 29 – yesterday released the music video for the 2018 events’ official single, Always on my Mind.

The song was written by Hunter Kennedy, who joined the company of rock royalty this year by lending his pen to write a #BB2018 song to make sure the shows live on in your playlist long after the performances have ended.

The video for the single is a motion graphic lyric video which lets the viewer move into a poster wall.

The video, featuring a colourful grunge feel, was designed by Merwe Marchand and animated by Bewilder.tv in Cape Town.

This year, Blood Brothers fans can look forward to something completely different from previous editions.

Francois van Coke, Hanu De Jong, Jason Oosthuizen, Jaco Mans and Chris Van Der Walt will welcome Laudo Liebenberg, as well as South African rock royalty Ard Matthews, pictured, Jedd Kossew and songwriter Adelle Nqeto to the event. Also joining the shows is The Hellcats’ Allesandro Benigno and Warwick Rautenbach.

Experience the rare opportunity to witness 11 of South Africa’s best local rock stars together on one stage for three hours of non-stop rock ’n roll.

Together with The Vrede Foundation, the show aims to help fight and generate awareness regarding cancer and raise funds to provide financial aid to young South Africans with cancer.

This year, this formidable heroic force will also be on stage in Pretoria and Cape Town, performing the songs that brought each of them to fame, intertwined with songs that influenced their sound over the years.
