I’d love to see TUCAN TUCAN. They have a great African vibe, lots of positive attitude and a lot of love in their music.
… also love the headlining bands, especially my favourites: freshlyground, Rudimentals & Ike Moriz. The Dirty Skirts have been making waves too. Looking forward to check them out as well.
See you all there!
Love & peace

It’s a great initiative. Love to see Freshly Ground and Ike Moriz. They both did great concerts at Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens last year!

Definately the Plastics!
SHY GUEVARAS – A mission statement that fits…
If the world was as predictable and Savvy a place, as most of the wondering souls in it perceive it to be, then we wouldn’t need to vote for them, they would automatically be on all playlists – and in saying this, I’m pretty sure that will soon be the case – SHY GUEVARAS be the band of the decade, but if you followers and so called revolutionaries don’t vote, in-order to experience SHY GUEVARAS’ awesome, fantastic, amazing, mind and ear pleasing sounds, which can only via them – the SHY GUEVARAS, be so emotionally and rippingly transmitted using the tools and talents of their trade(which they all so perfectly portray) in the most unforgettable fashion… An experience that once exposed to, will keep you hooked — Just like everything in
this world that is addictive — only difference being that YOU CAN TELL EVERYBODY that they play the songs, that pretty much everyone else would on hearing SHY GUEVARAS, sing along…
So then,,, as the wonderers of these exposed reefs, we call earth, which needs to constantly be maintained and moulded, let all who KNOW,,, Hells bells – LET all who don’t yet KNOW,,, that the SHY GUEVARAS are MOST WORTHY of their spotlight in the MEMORIES OF ALL MANKINDS ARCHIVES.
Just a Fan and friend, and someone who digs brilliant music…
Overgraze is who I would like to see!!!
I think most of you bands are taking yourselves just a little too seriously with your self-promotion. there’s lots of ways of supporting Zim. I’m all for the fest (yeah, it’s gonna be grand), but just come down from your goodie-good shoe horsie. I’d love to see the Nude Girls! Have they not offered to play?
Listen too The Little Kings new song called Zimbabwe on their Facebook fan page and you’ll know why they must have a slot at the Zimfest
“Vote For Jacsharp for Jacnothing” = it wont cost you a thing to vote for Jacsharp. or Vote Jacsharp for nothing.
Tim Scholz,
In that space “j…..” you wanted to put “jacSharp” – we aren’t embarrassed or ashamed but rather proud to spread a positive message in order to get in the spirit of this cause.
Remember the bands promoting themselves is what inturn promotes Zimfest.
