South African music phenomenon Internet Girl is putting on a show to kick off the year.
Prepare for an evening of high energy, featuring some of the country’s most innovative acts across rock, hip-hop and electronic genres, celebrating South African street and alternative culture.
Supporting acts include BrotherKupa, Twenty One Children, DJ Franadilla, and the band’s own producer, DJ Neese.
Cape Town-based band Internet Girl, formed by vocalist Ntsika ‘TK’ Bungane, drummer Matthew ‘Neese’ Burgess and guitarist James ‘Griggs’ Smith, has become a defining musical act for the online age since they began uploading their tracks to major streaming platforms in 2020.
In their early days, the band collaborated remotely from different parts of the country, creating songs by emailing audio files.
Smith or Burgess would craft an idea or an instrumental, and Bungane would write for it.
Now living together in Cape Town, the three members enjoy a much more seamless production process.
The group released their latest EP, Role Model, on 7 June 2024.
Internet Girl’s lead vocalist Bungane crafts the story of an anti-hero navigating Cape Town’s seedy underbelly in singles like Role Model and Cokehead. Their latest music reintroduces the trio with a new sound blending punk and rap, diverging from the prevalent Amapiano trends.
The group saw success in online spaces and with audiences abroad and signed their first deal without playing a single live show. According to News24, most of Internet Girl’s fanbase comes from the US, UK, Australia and other countries.
The event serves as a reminder of the group’s success and admiration for diverse musical acts.
