Frontman of Save It For The Weekend, 1/5 of I Became Nothing, and 1/2 of September in a Day, Because Matt is no stranger to the music industry. Recently Matt has taken the plunge to launch his career as a solo singer-songwriter. Well, solo is maybe a bit of a strong word. What story worth talking about is done alone — Matt is joined by drummer Jarryd West and bassist Alex Mayers.

The official soundcloud account for ONE OK ROCK.

September In A Day, often compared to Secondhand Serenade and Story of the Year, delivers a powerful, raw emotional sound with a message of events that occur in our lives, relating subjects that we face on a day to day basis, weaved craftily into catchy, memorable melodies. Dedication to writing powerful music and lyrics is the goal, not blending in as just another band, aspiring and inspiring and bringing a certain uniqueness to the table.

Made up of two members, September In A Day has released an EP entitled Here To Stay, recorded a single and played at prime venues around Cape Town in the time they have been together. Having placed in the top 4 and semi-finals of various competitions, September In A Day has turned heads and proved they deserved it as they went up against many bands bigger in following and size, proving that September In A Day is not just any ordinary acoustic band.

After kicking off in late 2011, their first show was played at The Purple Turtle. The band was formed after Alex Bartie and Matt O'Kelly met through their previous band. Soon after, the band headed into studio to start the gradual process of recording their debut EP, Here To Stay. In July 2012, Here To Stay was released independently. This was featured on AFM on the day of the release.

September In A Day was invited to play on the Main Stage at Rock The River 2012-13. However, in August 2012, September In A Day made the difficult decision to take an indefinite break and unfortunately were forced to decline.

In May 2013 the decision was made for September in a Day to return. The band now operates amongst life's happenings, including Alex's work and studies and Matt's studies and involvement in other band projects.

Having played in many places around Cape Town, from Alma Cafe to Mercury Live to the Pepper Club Hotel, September In A Day has turned heads and done nothing less than leave people wanting more.

ONE OK ROCK formed in 2005 and have been doing many gigs.
Their music having tastes of Emo, Rock, Heavy Metal and their aggressive live performance are supported among especially the young generations.
In the summer of 2010, they participated many music fes'. in the various places and in November, 2010, achieved their first time live at Nippon Budokan (11,000 tickets were sold out).



Pop punk met indie and they really hit it off. Then jazz got involved and Save It For The Weekend was born. This four piece band often compared to bands like All Time Low, Mayday Parade and Placebo is based in Cape Town, with intentions of making waves worldwide.

Made up of four music students from the University of Cape Town, the band was formed in mid 2013, and before long had the opportunity to work with producer Dave Langemann (Freshly Ground, Versus the Wolf) to refine their sound and produce their debut single, Just Right. 2015 saw the release of their new single, He Said She Said as the band sought to take a stand for social justice, using the power of music to stand for what is right.

Having already shared the stage with the likes of Matthew Mole and CrashCarBurn, Save It For The Weekend shows no signs of slowing down. Forget Monday to Thursday. Save it for the weekend.

Captivating independent solo artist, Kathryn Swain, is a South African singer/songwriter who walks to her own beat and an international rhythm. Although originally Capetonian, she is actually a third culture woman who spent her early teen years living in Nashville, Tennessee (USA) and Stratford Upon Avon (UK).  

A gap year after high school was followed by the formation of her very own company “Kathryn Swain Music Pty Ltd” and Kathryn’s decision to make music her ‘day job’. She is determined to make her mark. “Although it is sometimes a tough road, I am especially grateful for my friends and family who support my dream and vision to be an international performer.” 

Known as "the girl with the golden voice" and described as a "prodigious talent", Kathryn delights in writing songs focused on love and social commentary, involving her personal experiences and her perceptions of what others have been through. She describes her music using the acronym “APWAM” which stands for “Alternative Pop with a Message”. 

Although her primary instrument is her classically trained voice, Kathryn also plays the acoustic guitar and very recently has also added the ukulele to her performances. 

At six foot tall, the striking young woman refuses to be boxed in any way. “I see myself as a prism, refracting light and universal wisdom through different genres, sounds, rhythms, and expressions. My goal is to capture eternal themes in contemporary and meaningful lyrics and sounds. I want to touch the world, and music is the avenue through which I intend to do just that. Music is a universal language, crossing all kinds of barriers because it is something that is felt rather than seen and resonates within the human heart.”  

Some of Kathryn’s musical ventures thus far include:

-	Performing as a guest artist for MSC Cruises, where she was asked to open up a new performing position on the Portuguese Island in Mozambique (2014) 
-	Touring with Indie-folk duo "Digby and the Lullaby" (2015)
-	Performing at the White Mountain Acoustic Festival in the Drakensburg (2015)
-	Head lining the Acoustic Stage at the Wacky Wine festival (2016)
-	Opening up for Cape Town’s Coffee & Chocolate Festival (2016) 
-	Representing Anthonij Rupert Wines at the Franschoek Uncorked Festival (2016)
-	Winning the opportunity to perform at WC premier Helen Zille’s residence for the “My Child Has Cancer Trust” fundraiser (2016). 
-	Performing at the Up the Creek music festival (JAN 2017) 
-	Opening for local and international sensation Matthew Mole (2nd APRIL 2017) as part of the summer concert series at the Vergenoegd wine estate.
-	Opening for Howie Combrink and the Watershed band (16th April 2017) at the V&A Waterfront. 


A highlight of Kathryn’s career was recording her debut album “Little Box of Memories” with Duncan Mackay of Duncan Mackay Recordings. Besides this, Kathryn has been interviewed by various radio stations and newspapers as well as featured on News 24 and has performed in numerous different venues throughout Cape Town. In 2017, she looks forward to expanding her performance space locally and internationally.

In 2017, keep your eyes and ears open this PLAY TOY, Kathryn Swain’s brand new single which is best described as “a sassy take on the relational dynamics of the modern dating game”.
