Van Coke Kartel are throwing their picks out for the last time. The Proudly South African rock band are putting down their instruments after a decade of rock n roll, 5 full-length albums, various drummer lineups, numerous awards, international tours and opening shows for big internationals like Metallica to pursue new musical adventures.
Founding member, Wynand Wyburgh, comments on the decision:
Van Coke Kartel has been a crazy ride. It was the main focus for Francois van Coke and myself for many years. A lot of work went into the project and we definitely learned a lot from it. It is sad to think that it is all coming to an end, but I’m excited to take the circus on the road for one last time!
Singer, Francois van Coke, comments on how they developed the band over the years,
When Wynand and I started the project in 2007, we had never been in a band where we were the main song writers. It took a lot of hard work to create those first records. I think we got our confidence from the fact that we knew that when we hit the stage, we will make up for whatever we lacked in the songwriting. When Jedd joined he took us to a new level and he immediately contributed a lot to the writing process. He still does so today with my solo stuff.
Van Coke Kartel’s energetic, no-nonsense rock ‘n roll show is celebrated as a high-energy spectacular. To celebrate their hard work, they will be going on one last tour around the country, even though they have not played in over a year. Don’t miss the opportunity to see them live for the last time ever.
