The three-piece band (guitarist, singer and songwriter Lucien Windrich, keyboardist, singer and songwriter Erik Windrich and drummer-percussionist Wayne Harker), éVoid were formed in Boksburg, South Africa in 1977. They had their first success in Zimbabwe where they had a residency during the dying days of Rhodesia and the birth of a new country. In 1979 'Magicia' reached number 4 on the charts there. Their eponymous debut album was released in South Africa in 1983 resulting in major chart success to match their success as a live band. They were certainly the most successful and influential of the white punk bands to take up African images and sounds in their rebellion against apartheid. At the time they were a three piece band featuring the Windrich brothers Lucien and Eric on guitars, keyboards and vocals with Wayne Harker on drums. In order to avoid conscription into the apartheid military they left for London in 1985. Their second album, Dance the Instinct, was released there in 1986. A third album, eponymously titled as their debut album, was released on cassette in 1993. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
