I was once a rocker. Unbelievable? Believe it.

Yes, it’s true. I’ve mentioned this fact before here on this blog but only sporadically. There is a music video, there are mp3’s. In fact there are two of our songs in this very post. So go ahead and have a listen.

The bands name was Thus Far. I played with some fantastic musicians over the three years we were together. Thus Far shared stages with The Parlotones, Prime Circle, Arno Castens, Albert Frost, The Finkelstiens, Evolver, Airship Orange and a host of other bands who travelled through Grahamstown, the Eastern Cape and played at Splashy Fen.

I’m not really sure why it’s taken me so long to blog about this, but it just has. So there you go. I will be adding some of our more refined stuff at a later stage but for now, here are two songs.

The first one, Strongest Star, was written by Terence Hatting – the phenomenal bassist and song writer of the band. The second and more soppy of the two, Falling Down, was written by yours truly in all his emo, downtrodden and depressing days!
