ELECTRIC TRIO THE LION & THE BEAR LIVE AT ALLIANCE FRANÇAISE

 

What do you get when a lion, bear and panther walk onto a stage? The three-piece electric band, The Lion & The Bear.

iSupport Creative Business and Alliance Française, supported by Concerts SA, present a rocking Friday night out with Durban musos this month. The concert will take place at Alliance Française in Morningside on Friday, June 23, with doors opening at 19h00. Tickets are available on Webtickets for R70 or can be purchased in cash at the door.

The Lion & The Bear is an electric rock trio featuring band members Ross Meintjes (guitar and vocals), Ruben Thomas (bass & vocals) and Brendon Meintjes (drums and vocals), formerly part of the South African hit band AVADE. For the last four years, the band has performed at several of KwaZulu-Natal’s finest restaurants, bars and clubs, as well as private parties, weddings and corporate functions. The Lion & The Bear are energetic and fun, with a combination of soulful covers and catchy originals that get people off their seats and rocking. Hear their latest single, Street Fight, live or stream it on your favourite online platforms.
