Tidal Waves | Newsletter April 2010

“Tidal Waves on the road and in the rehearsal room.”

Tidal Waves enjoyed a very successful tour of the Western Cape in March with the highlight being the legendary RAMfest as well as a sell out show at Klein Libertas Theatre. After which the band returned to Pretoria for three well attended shows, playing to their “home crowd.” We would like to thank you for your support, it is greatly appreciated!

April is a real bumper month for the band, which includes a headlining slot at Splashy Fen in KZN, a huge collaboration performance at Kirstenbosch Gardens, two performances at KKNK in Oudtshoorn, rocking with Fokofpolisiekar and more at the wildest student residence party in Stellenbosch and an arduous rehearsal schedule in preperation for a surprise appearance at one of South Africa’s most prestigious music events!
