Gangs of Ballet
Five times SAMA-nominated, MTV MAMA Award-winning band, Gangs of Ballet is Durban-based comprising of three musicians and friends. Each accomplished musicians in their own right, the band’s members have combined their various individual tastes and styles to create a sound that is captivatingly fresh.
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.
With their combined wealth of talent, experience and creativity, these three Durbanites hope to make a quality contribution to South Africa’s growing music scene and it would appear that they are already well on their way to their way to doing just that!
