Award-winning,
Durban-based band Gangs of Ballet will be Breaking The Silence when they
perform at The Barnyard Theatre at Gateway for the first time on Monday (February
24).
Gangs
of Ballet comprises of four musicians and friends: Brad Klynsmith
(vocals / electric guitar), Jonathan Rich (keyboard / synth), Hardus de Beer
(bass guitar) and Josh Klynsmith (drums / vocals). Each an accomplished
musician in his own right, the band’s members have combined their various
individual tastes and styles to create a sound that is captivatingly fresh.
Originally
formed as a side-project, Gangs of Ballet came into official existence at its
debut gig opening for aKing in April 2011.
Their
music, which boasts a winning combination of their vibrant energy and a host of
musically intriguing melodies, cannot be pinned down to any specific genre but
rather experiments with an eclectic mix of alternative, melodic, anthemic,
electronic and dance.
Their
debut single, Breaking The Silence, was released in September 2011 and
by early November it had entered into the 5fm Top 40 chart. The single
thereafter continued to climb its way up the chart and after just ten weeks on
the chart, Breaking The Silence entered the New Year at 7th
place and secured a spot on 5fm’s list of the Top 100 Hottest Hits of 2011. It
was also chosen as the soundtrack for Cell C’s ‘Be’ campaign, which were
featured on SA TV and radio stations nationwide.

shows, with no standing room. For bookings and
