I am really into the Afrikaans music scene, specially rock, and when I first heard Winterstasie I was ecstatic. Winterstasie is really the first local rock band I am liking in a long time.

Winterstasie is a South African Alternative / Progressive Afrikaanse Rock band from Potchefstroom. The band consist of Dewald Pieters, Niel Verster, Dewald Buys and Ruhan Wagener. They were recently also nominated for a MK Award.

Winterstasie has catchy melodies and lyrics that gives me the same feeling the first time I heard Fokofpolisiekar, I am absolutely loving these guys at the moment and hope they get far with their music career.

Here is few of Winterstasie’s music videos for you to enjoy.

Winterstasie – Wie is jy?

Winterstasie – Autokrasie van ‘n hart

Winterstasie – Die Beterkant

So what do you guys think? Do you like their sound? I know I am loving them, my favorite tracks include Die Beterkant and Wie is jy?

If you are like me you like some good home brewed rock, specially since I was raised in Bellville Rock City and since the early days attended the local rock concerts.

Cape Rocks sounds to me like a brand new rock fest hitting the Mother City and with a line-up of the likes of aKING and Verona Walls it sure can’t dissapoint. The Cape Rocks event will be taking place this weekend the 25th of July at The Assembly, a mere R40 gets you in to check out a line-up of bands including Pretty Dirty, TigerStrike, The Revelators, DJ String, aKING and Verona Walls.
