about
The Springbok Nude Girls (or just the Nude Girls or Nudies as they are affectionately known) are one of South Africa's more popular bands. Their music is a blend of alternative, rock, ska and sonic metal with jazz and acoustic influences. Arguably South Africa's best rock outfit. The lead singer Arno Carstens has since embarked on a prolific solo career. The albums to date are: 1. Neanderthal 1 1995. Quite raw and minimally produced. 2. Afterlifesatisfaction 1997. Becoming more "international", with a number of hits. 3. Surpass the Powers 1999. Their most acclaimed and professional sounding release. 4. Relaxzor 2000. Heavy, hard and fast. A fifth album called Peace Breaker was scheduled for a March 2007 South African release. A UK release of Peace Breaker is scheduled for June 18, 2007 and will include 2 extra tracks. The band have chosen to release it in the UK under the name Nude Girls, dropping the inherently South African Springbok moniker for some reason. They also released 2 compilation albums The Fat Lady Sings preceding their break-up in 2001, and then a UK-only release as Nude Girls, called Nude Girls upon their reformation in 2007. http://www.nudegirls.co.za/ http://www.myspace.com/thenudegirls "The Springbok Nude Girls (a.k.a the Nudies, or the Nude Girls) is a rock band from Stellenbosch near Cape Town, South Africa.
