For relative newcomers Gonzo Republic boast an already impressive CV. In the past two years they’ve been chosen to play Levi’s Young Guns, Levi’s Vintage Sundays, headlined one of South Africa’s largest festivals, Splashy Fen, been finalists in the Pump Up The Volume competition and were in the top 3 in the Road To VFest competition. They’ve performed on the same stage alongside Maroon 5 and One Republic. They’ve gigged nationally, blowing up stages with their explosive performances and have played with all the cool kids around town including Kidofdoom, Desmond and the Tutus, Goldfish, The Parlotones, 340ml, Fire Through The Window, Bed on Bricks and Stealing Love Jones, to name a few.
And that’s all happened before releasing their first album. Gonzo Republic have however just completed their debut album, entitled “I’m Ok, You’re Ok”, including the song “Nothing To Fight About”, which made it to #1 on the 5FM charts. The album is set for success, with its indie rock edge mixed up with some disco funk. Think neon lights and big dirty nights of groove inspired indie rock.
