LAST CHANCE: Enter competition to win tickets to exclusive launch

If you had the radio blaring during the ’70s, ’80s and ’90s, you would be familiar with the toe-tapping tunes of éVoid, Petit Cheval, Wonderboom and The Electric Petals.

You are sure then to know local drummer and former Beyers Park resident Danny de Wet.

Growing up in the 1970s, the former Christian Brothers College (CBC) alumni formed a garage band Zennith, with his friend Lucien Windrich.

The band later became famous as éVoid with hits like Taximan and Shadows.

Spending over four decades on stage and the road, de Wet finally put pen to paper to give a glimpse of the transformation of rock ‘n’ roll in a country rewriting its history.

From headline acts to sold-out music festivals and opening for top international artists and bands such as Simple Minds and Live, Sex, Drums and Rock n Roll … in Africa captures all the triumphs, turmoil and rocker behaviour that comes with the lifestyle.

In celebration of the book launch, De Wet will be dusting off his drumsticks to take to the stage, on April 6 at the Barnyard at Emperors Palace.

Joining him on stage, direct from London, is Windrich, as well as Cito and Martin Schofield from Wonderboom and Paul Hudgson from The Parlotones, amongst others.
