KNYSNA NEWS - The Black Cat Bones is a South African rock band formed in Silverton, Pretoria in 2007.

The group consists of members Kobus de Kock jr (vocals), Andre Kriel (guitars), Chris vd Walt (bass) and Gareth Bunge (Drums), and is considered to be one of the current top performing acts in South Africa.

Both their debut album Silverton Swamp Songs (2009), and the critically acclaimed second helping The Long Drive (2011) were heavily influenced by Kobus and Andre’s blues roots but, in 2013, the band released their Sama-nominated third studio album Beatipliller, which showcased their collective influences as a diverse four-piece rock act. 

In the same year the band also won the MK Award for best live act and emerged from being underground subculture champions to a group that is adored nationwide by an expanding and loyal following from all walks of life.
