3RD WORLD SPECTATOR is:
Peter Crafford (Vocals, Guitar, Piano)
Justin Versfeld (Guitar)
Louis Kuhn (Bass)
André Wentzel (Drums)
Elan Schnider (Synths, Keys)

With their infectious blend of soaring, operatic vocals, haunting melodies, huge guitars 
and rolling drums, 3RD WORLD SPECTATOR has treaded lasting tracks in the South 
African music scene. With the release of their debut album ‘The Theory of Everything’ in 
late 2011 - to critical acclaim from music critics and fans alike - the band eradicated all 
doubt as to their position as one of the top acts South Africa has to offer. Their first single 
‘Ambulance’ exploded onto radio and digital charts around the country whilst cracking the 
National Top 40. The video for “Ambulance’ also reached number 2 on the MK Top 10 
Music Video Chart, placing the band firmly at the forefront of the local rock scene.

Well known for their meteoric rise to first place during the Virgin Mobile Road to V 
competition late 2008, 3RD WORLD SPECTATOR have been making headlines ever since. 

Not content to be just another local act, their performances transcend the ordinary. Part 
theatre and part rock star-chic, their live music is fraught with energy that consumes the 
senses and elevates the soul. Sharing the stage with the likes of international bands such 
as Maroon5, OneRepublic and Hard-Fi confirmed their status as a highly engaging stage 
act.

The band completed work on their debut full length album entitled 'The Theory of 
Everything' in 2011 with the recording sessions taking place at Sunset Recording Studios 
with award winning producer and engineer Jürgen von Wechmar (Springbok Nude Girls, 
Foto Na Dans, Jax Panik, Karen Zoid) at the helm of the production. The album is 
mastered by John Davis (U2, Florence + The Machine, The Prodigy, Snow Patrol) at 
Metropolis Studios in London. 

In June 2011 3RD WORLD SPECTATOR signed a record deal with Universal Music and the 
album was released at the start of November 2011 to critical acclaim. 3RD WORLD SPECTATOR has featured in every major publication, been named one of 
‘The Top 10 Acts To See' by Tonight, signed major endorsement deals with PF Flyers 
International and Jay Jays South Africa. 

Since the release of The Theory of Everything, 
3RD WORLD SPECTATOR has elicited extensive coverage in the press and media, has 
done countless radio interviews, performed live on national TV shows such as SABC 2’s 
Hectic Nine 9, MK’s Studio 1, ETV’s Frenzy and has toured South Africa extensively. The 
follow up singles 'Sparks' and 'The Hiroshima Lovers' also achieved great success on 
national radio stations. 

At the end of 2012 the band were chosen as one of six South African artists to participate 
in the Sanlam Sing 'It 2013 Lyric Competition and won this prestigious contest. 

Subsequently they have released their latest single 'Once More, With Feeling' to national 
radio with the accompanying music video enjoying high rotation on MTV. 

3RD WORLD SPECTATOR are exclusively sponsored by clothing brand Markham. 
They will be releasing their sophomore album 'Days Of Silver' in 2014.

Singer-Songwriter “Michael Emmerson” will be releasing his debut single “Back To You” on the 18th June 2012 in the UK. The single is written by himself and star of BBC’s hit show “”Being Human” Andrew Gower. The two co-wrote the song, after being picked out by Chris Martin, Radio 2 DJ Mark Radcliffe and producer Steve Levine at the Make It Break It awards.
An avid composer and multi-instrumentalist, Michael has immersed himself in the art of song-writing and sees it as a fascinating form of self expression. After many years co-writing, playing in bands and performing all over the UK, he decided to go it alone writing and self producing his own solo album. Michael claims artists such as Coldplay, Bon Iver, The Fray, OneRepublic, Damien Rice, and Sigur Ros amongst many others have had an impact on his music making. But insists he wants to create and develop a sound of his own.
Touring up and down the country Michael will be promoting his debut single ‘Back To You’ (recorded at Parr St. Studios, Liverpool), which is the first release from his debut album and will be available to download on the 18th June 2012 on itunes.

Chas Tackett is an independent Christian artist set out with conviction to redefine the CCM and Mainstream landscape through faith-fueled lyrics and powerful hooks that complement the worship world and compete with today’s top records.
 
The 23-year old singer/songwriter started making music at an early age and grew most of his talents through the church world, leading worship and growing various songwriting teams.  By his teens, he learned how to produce covers of songs he heard growing up.  Upon graduating high school, he began writing music for the local church, which ended up leading to more faith-focussed music projects. 
 
With production credits for shows like "VeggieTales Remix" and "Translating God" with Shawn Bolz, and many other church leaders, Chas has set himself as a staple in the Christian world for faith-based music projects.
 
On January 31st of this year, Chas debuted his lead single, “Through The Night”, combining elements of Pop, R&B, Hip-Hop and Dance, which he co-wrote with After School Program collaborator, Shama Mrema.  This past April, Chas followed up with his second single “747”, fueled from a new experience of faith, to a sound similar to that of Kanye West and Post Malone.
 
His 3rd lead single “Spectrasonic” is set for release this August, re-imagined from ground up and re-released from the previous name, “Small House”.  The title of the song is a non-dictionary word that Chas used to describe God's peace which passes our own understanding, as found in the apostle Paul's letters in Philippians 4.  Spectrasonic was created in mind with the focus of faith, identity and salvation, with inspiring melodies and a laid-back, yet energetic atmosphere.  Spectrasonic will be available everywhere on August 14th.
 
Other major production credits include work from Joseph Neville, HRC Worship, Canaan Ivy and Alex Marie Brinkley (AXYL).

Culture Kid are two brothers who make music - currently residing in the Mile High City - with hearts and roots in Detroit. Over the last several years James and Jos had been key members of groups which shared the stage with acts from Minus the Bear to OneRepublic and everything in between. Inspired by a background in classical music and a love of the most current sounds in electronic, indie, and many other genres, they aspire to carve their own little niche in music. "We basically woke up one day and realized we wanted to have something that we could really look ourselves in the mirror over, a project that deep down we would go to bat for in front of even our most respected influences. Last fall we walked away from everything else we were involved in and began writing along those lines," James says. With dynamic, "honey and heroin vocals" (as described by Denver's Westword magazine) and an ever growing range of instruments, beats and samples, they are looking to stretch the boundaries of what popular music could be. Carrying the experience of nearly one hundred shows with previous acts, Culture Kid are poised to take a step out into the bright lights

"Butoh in Black" is the first single from their upcoming production in 2013.

                        RePlay terdiri dari YOGA (vOCAL), SHIFA (GUITAR), SANDY (BASS), dan ROBY (DRUM). Musik yang kami bawakan aalah sesuatu yang berbeda saat sekarang ini, 
Kami menggabungkan antara Musik Seattle dengan Musik Indonesia. Beberapa musisi yang mempengaruhi kami dalam bermusik diantaranya adalah Daughtry, David Cook, Switchfoot, Hoobastank, OneRepublic.
                        Kami menyadari bahwa RePlay belum lama terbentuk, tetapi dengan bermodalkan semangat kebersamaan dan kecintaan pada musik yang telah tercipta pada saat sebelum Band ini terbentuk, 
kami yakin dan sudah siap dengan materi lagu kami yang telah rampung kami kerjakan, kami (RePlay) berharap untuk bisa masuk dan turut mewarnai dunia musik Indonesia.......Let’s Play!
