about
Joe, Howie, Dave and Martin are the New Academics. A South African outfit raised on funk and jazz, deeply fried in rock and hip hop - New Academics serves up a original combination of flavours for the musical palate. Powered by a pure and honest onstage intensity, the New Academics exhibit a true and undeniable love for music that is transmitted through their energetic performances into the ears, souls and hips of their fans. New Academics are growing in leaps and bounds, with a strong grass-roots following across the entire spectrum of South African society. Success on university radio stations throughout the nation has helped to broaden this surge of support. But ultimately, it is New Academics’ pure love for music and naturally energetic performances that make them one of the most explosive original live music acts in South Africa. If you like the rock of Red Hot Chili Peppers mixed in with hip-hop, rap and funk, check out City of Strange - it’s an album filled with catchy tunes, funk, rock, rap and roll!
