Captain Stu

Band Description	Runner-up of the Road To V-Fest Competition 2008 as the best unsigned band in SA, Captain Stu, brings you an urban twist with a tightly executed, energetic and eclectic blend of ska, funk, rock and reggae while skillfully incorporating as many of their varying influences as possible. With two albums to their name (The Untold Tales released in 2005 and The Adventures of Captain Stu released in 2009), after two national tours, playing at several of South Africa’s major music festivals, attracting various would-be corporate sponsors and appearing on South African radio and TV on several occasions, three music videos, a sizeable amount of member changes and a few hundred rocking live shows in between all of that, Captain Stu now stand as a five piece group of dedicated and professional musicians with a large and loyal fan base which stretches throughout the country. More about the band: In 2009, Captain Stu entered the Virgin Mobile “Road To V” competition, which saw them doing valuable workshops with many of the industry’s top professionals and performing at various shows in Cape Town and Johannesburg, culminating in a performance at the Coca Cola Dome where they shared the stage with Maroon 5 and One Republic, amongst others. In February 2009, they released their much anticipated second album, The Adventures of Captain Stu. It represents a new and fresh yet established and well honed sound, which has been earning much praise from new and old fans, and receiving much attention from would be business relations throughout the local scene. Their first single of the second album, The Journey, reached nr. 2 on the TUKSfm SA Top 10, as well as nr. 4 on the MK University Charts. The second single of the album, More Than Friends, was released in June 2009 to radio stations nationwide. The music video was released single in July and reaced nr. 5 on the MK Top 10 Music Video Chart. In July, Captain Stu invaded the north of SA for the third time and toured to JHB and PTA with appearances on Studio 1, UJFM and TUKSfm. The third single of their second album, Shake, is set for release in August 2009. Captain Stu will also be appearing on MK Celeb in August 2009, while a tour to Durban is set for September. Media: “In keeping up with the ridiculous nature of the film (Dude, Where’s My Car?), Captain Stu reflects the carefree, easy-going attitude of the main characters. It really comes through in their music, which can be summed up in one word as fun.” Virgin Music News. “Captain Stu rock uplifting, light-hearted, brass-enriched ska-tunage that's easier on the ear and, for lack of a more impactful adjective, just lots and lots of fun!” FHM 4 Star Review “Its charm is that its restlessness does have moments of quiet compliments of that sexy saxophone, but it's never long before the ballsy vocals and dirty drums jump in and get you dancing.” Cosmopolitan Online ------------------------------------------------- Management / Bookings: Sophie Doherty Phone SA; +27 (0)790763602 Phone UK: +44 (0)7725780040 Email: sofemusic@gmail.com / captainstu_management@hotmail.com Press Contact: Rachelle Crous Phone: 084 733 4001 Email: rachellecrous@gmail.com Websites: • http://www.myspace.com/captainstuandthellamas • http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/pages/Captain-Stu/10128564358?v=wall&viewas=665017600 • http://www.sonicbids.com/captainstu BUY "THE ADVENTURES OF CAPTAIN STU" ONLINE HERE: • http://www.rhythmrecords.co.za/music/1401/Captain-Stu/The-Adventures-Of
