Band History:

REBURN is a Cape Town based 5 piece Indie Rock band made up of two Scotsmen, two South Africans and one Chilean. In 2006 destiny orchestrated a meeting in a pub between Alex McFarlane and Craig Hermanus (both guitarists and singers)... REBURN was born. A few musicians came through the ranks until current members Jono Templer (bass), Scottie Moore (vox) and more recently Jay Sandoval (drums) joined the band. REBURN has since rapidly plotted their course through the SA music industry.
REBURN recently returned from Port Elizabeth after being chosen to play in the Pro 20 Series Rock Star Cricket Finals. REBURN was one of the few bands chosen to play at this amazing event and the only band chosen to come back and play the semi finals and finals. They were also chosen to headline the prestigious 2010 SA Music Exchange showcase event held at Mercury Live in Cape Town. REBURN is not new to high profile events such as this, having had TV show appearances, being featured as the opening act of a top selling Columbia Records artist and many more.
After independently releasing and launching an EP, an Album, 5 music videos and a full length DVD (with each launch packing some of Cape Town’s best known venues to capacity), REBURN has been labeled as one of the top bands in the Western Cape by the media and music industry in general.
REBURN has shared the stage with bands such as ‘The Ataris’ (who enjoy high rotation on MTV) on tour from the US and some of our top local talents. Their participation in festivals nationwide has taken them to stages like ‘Rocking The Daisies', ‘Up The Coast', ‘The Grahamstown National Arts Festival', ‘Melkbos', ‘Forbidden Fruit' and ‘Synergy'.
REBURN’S music has been featured on the animal rights album ‘Innocent Blood', a Dead Kennedy’s cover album and the Billabong television program ‘Girls Get Out There' on Super Sport. They have also been recorded live for national TV and their DVD is currently on rotation on MK.

EBURN‘S EP and CD is enjoying airplay on national radio stations. They have won the UCT RAG/Marshall Music ‘Launch Your Band' competition, the Ku‐de‐ta Live ‘Battle of the Bands', the Paul Bothner/R.O.A.R ‘Face Off Battle' and most recently the ‘Rock Star Pro 20 Series Cricket nationwide band vote' (3 times in a row). As part of the latter they were filmed live for M‐NET in front of a 17000 strong crowd. Last, but not least, they were featured as one of the top 100 bands worldwide in the renowned international ‘Rock Star Lottery' band competition.

REBURN recently signed a distribution deal with Musketeer Records, the same record company that signed world chart band Seether and made them into a household name. In January 2009 the band signed a management contract with Full Spectrum Alternative.
The latest news is REBURN has just returned from a successful national tour in April and will be playing in and around the Western Cape before another national tour in September. Watch the press and their social networks for details.
