 Cape Argus, John Monsoon, Cape Town, SA, 4.10.2006: "TICK, TICK, … BOOM"

"There is a rumour in the air that Cape Town music is about to ignite a fuse that will send SA music into orbit. It's a music explosion not seen (or heard) for at least a decade. We gathered some of the Mother City's  finest minds in music to see who is holding the matches." ... ""only really in the last  four years that indie rock has started to make its big global come-back and even in  the late 90s modern music just never had the sorts of bands that it has now," so it's  not too unusual that Cape Town bands are pushing the envelope and being noticed. "Ironic," says Ike Moriz, the well-selling solo artist, "Cape Town used to be known for its cover bands!" ... "Moriz is passionate about his home town but also under no illusions that he sells more CDs in Gauteng, because "it's just the way it is". Cape Town bands are also generally more creative by way of location." ...
