Five years ago Fruits and Veggies first appeared in Umbilo, a working-class neighbourhood in Durban, South Africa and they have since earned themselves a reputation as one of the most refreshing and powerful live acts in the country.
The band is fronted by Purity, who’s unique and edgy vocals are backed by guitarist Jimbo (The Trees), bassist Loopy and guitarist, Cameron (Black Math). Mahalacalled them “a one of a kind band, (with) solid songs, a derisive attitude towards conventions, a blistering stage presence and a really deep commitment to living life to the full. The most exciting post-racial, post-punk party band to come out of Durban since, uh, forever!” "
The band are Festival favourites, having appeared at South Africa’s foremost festivals such as Oppikoppi (alongside Bullet for My Valentine, Enter Shakari,Eagles of Death Metal), Splashy Fen and Sowing the Seeds. Reviewing theirSplashy Fen set, Lloyd Gedye wrote in the Mail and Guardian: “the most impressive of the bands was Fruits and Veggies... teenage rebellion Durban style, with some great catchy hooks and some fierce attitude.”
Levi's Music Mag called them “pure genre-breaking liberation” and wrote: "Fruit and Veg are skanky, Fruit and Veg are free-range... with ska elements in a mix of punk and funk. Fruit and Veg are a band for a big stage. They are loose without being loose, tight without being uptight".
Fruits and Veggies have toured extensively and their reputation as a must-see live act earned them seven shows at the 2010 FIFA World Cup and the recent closing-party for the 34th Durban International Film Festival. In 2011 they were featured in the critically acclaimed documentary, “Punk in Africa”.
Fruits and Veggies have an EP, "Ndaa" under their belt and are currently working on their debut full-length album. They also won a recording/music video deal atInterpret Durban 2012 in conjunction with Red Bull studios where they will be recording soon.
