A South African record label on a mission to show you what great music South Africans are making.

Idle Hands is a cover project started by Jacques Du Plessis (Mr. Cat & The Jackal, Taleswapper) and Tara Bakkes (Julia Robert , The Fads) purely for fun, and to keep them out of trouble. The songs covered are those that inspired or motivated them musically, and stuck with them, so expect anything from classic rock, golden oldies to pop ect. They're open to suggestions aswel. They will choose, record and release a cover song every now and then for their own pleasure.

Jacques - Vocals, guitars, slide, bass and other things
Tara - Drums, Percussion , Backing vox

all songs recorded at The Fresh Meat Studio.
