BATELEUR ft. TOAST COETZER

Post-rock instrumental group Bateleur and acclaimed poet, writer and frontman of The Buckfever Underground, Toast Coetzer, will be collaborating for the first time ever, and specifically for this event. If there is one Secret Soirée you need to be at this year, then this is probably it.

Bateleur is a 6-piece instrumental band based in Cape Town, South Africa. Formed in 2009, they have worked tirelessly at crafting their distinct sound and musical character. By employing a democratic work ethic, Paul Mesarcik (Bass), Louis Pienaar (Piano, Synth), Adam Bertscher (Guitar), Dylan Jeffries (Drums), Odon Human (Trumpet and Effects) and Nicolaas van Reenen (Guitar, Vocal effects) have all got an equal say in shaping the songs they compose.

This results in music with an eclectic mix of experimentation with harmony, melody and challenging song structures while never failing to neglect the direct emotional impact of a well-placed hook.

Toast Coetzer is the frontman and lyricist for the band The Buckfever Underground. Once, years ago, he beat the bass player of Skunk Anansie at pool. He is also one of the editors of Ons Klyntji, the oldest Afrikaans magazine in the universe. By day he works as a travel writer at WEG and Go! magazines to pay the bills.
