Jakkals 2.0 Bio
 
The ins and outs of creating music can be trying. Each vision must find its place amongst the others. What comes is messy, sweaty and fragmented. But sometimes things fall into place.
 
In early 2009, James Boonzaier and Tim King began fighting out impromptu rock in a whiskey-hazed Hout Bay store-room. After an embryonic period of experimentation, Jakkals made the move over its darling table mountain, setting up shop in the Salt River warehouse of their patron, Mike Berg. It was here that the band first found its voice; rock bravado, pop sensibility and sometimes dancey charm.
 In its first incarnation the then quartet garnered rapidly positive response and support from crowds in and around Cape Town. Among these were the venerated and sell-out Rocking the Daisies after party, the auspicious farewell of Woodstock’s Albert Hall and headline shows at the Assembly. Further, Jakkals has frequented the Waiting Room, Zula Bar and the veteran Purple Turtle and was invited to headline various private parties and artistic showcases since.
 
Having experimented with various arrangements, the band has settled as a three-piece, comprised of drummer, Tim King, bassist Mark De Menezes and singer/guitarist, James Boonzaier.
 Their single, 'Woah! Nelly', found popular, albeit underground acclaim, and following the release of their Trifle EP, their single ‘Rum Trifle was awarded sponsorship in the MK MVP project alongside The Plastics, Jack Parow, Van Coke Kartel and aKing. Their refreshed energy, renewed passion and an ever-evolving sound leave this trio pegged as a band to watch in 2013. 

Jakkals is beats that tap your feet; bass that nods your head and silence that leaves you caught in anticipation. It's melody that flutters your heart and crescendos that rouse; husky tones and rhythmic swing. It's sweetly melodic yet full of balls...
 
...and when it stops you will hum it all the way home.
