Parlotones rock the gardens
The Parlotones break new ground with Orchestrated tour at the Old Mutual Music at the Lake.
ONE of South Africa’s most popular music groups, The Parlotones, take the stage at the magnificent Durban Botanic Gardens on Sunday 3 April.
This special performance by the country’s most loved rock band announces the first show of The Parlotones Orchestrated tour. The tour will see the band take their hits to venues across the country in a scintillating display of contemporary yet classical versions of their extensive discography, together with a chamber ensemble which has been arranged and will be conducted by composer and acclaimed musician, Brendan Jury.
With a string of hits under their belt, the four man band, consisting of Kahn Morbee, Neil Pauw and brothers’ Glen and Paul Hodgson, are known for their professional and polished stage performances.
Indie pop band Al Bairre open for The Parlotones. As newcomers to the garden, their combination of cello, violin, guitars, keys, and drums will certainly add to the rhythm of the afternoon. Launched in 2012, the Cape Town based band consists of Kyle Davis, Tom Kotze, Tessa Johnson, Julia Johnson and Nicholas Preen. Their energetic and savvy stage presence offers fans a real unique melodic experience.
