Next week a truly talented South African band will be playing in London. Civil Twilight started their career as Superfine in Cape Town. In 2004 I interviewed them on Native Noise as they were about to relocate to L.A. in search of fame and fortune. I’ve eagerly kept an eye on them over the years and even approached them to license their album in SA through Musketeer. They told me that they were in negotiations with a big record label… who would have thought it would be Wind-Up Records?

On the back of massive TV placements like House, The Sarah Connor Chronicles and One Tree Hill, Civil Twilight has been exploding in the US. Now London-based fans have a chance to catch their first UK performances. They’ll be playing the very intimate Barfly and Monto Water Rats. The band was amazing live when I last saw them six years ago. Trust me, seeing them in these small venues will be an opportunity you don’t want to miss out on.

They’ll be joined by Company of Thieves. I only got the album recently and I’m really impressed. Looking forward to seeing them live.
