The original band formed around 2003 by high-school friends heavily under the influence of post-rock grunge, Led Zeppelin and various emerging nu-metal outfits the path was laid – Make it loud, Make it clear. 
In 2008 after a string of performances combining electric guitars, drum kits and synthesizers with pounding psytrance beats the band’s attention shifted back to its roots and Dylan Chegwidden joined as the outfit’s first vocalist. A wicked full-length album was released in 2013 including stunning artwork from Mike Wolmarans at Tenebrae Studios. The band played numerous shows in and around Cape Town, travelled to Grahamstown festival for a few performances and were invited to join the bill for the Cape Town Rock Revival Tour. In 2015 Dylan moved overseas and the quest for a talented singer began. 
After a few shows with a couple of different singers the band split up. The guy’s simply weren’t all on the same page anymore, disagreements were rife and tastes had changed. 
Was this the end? Many of the bands followers weren’t happy about the prospect of no more Smugg Juggler. They had a cache of new material and so the remaining songwriters decided not to give up on the band which had built up an awesome fan base over the years. Their efforts were rewarded when Matthew Cox joined as drummer. Then front man Glenn Bradford moved down to Cape Town and contacted the band for an audition. The sound was huge!
Work on the second full-length album is well under way and the band has a few shows lined up to play this summer.
	“Smugg Juggler is a really tight band with a song writing approach that keeps the focus on the hooks and tones in the clear.”

Ann Jangle. Queen of the underground. Her ominous style of dark folk, electric rock, gypsy infused, theatrical, soulful style of writing & performing leaves a long lasting impression. She belts out her voice on stage like she was born there. This South-African born singer/ songwriter/ producer/ composer has performed her way onto a vast variety of stages all across Europe & Southern Africa and shares the stage with many different artists to bring a heartfelt performance that resonates.
Since the start of Ann Jangle, she has received a substantial amount of airplay and very good write ups all over South-Africa and Europe.
2012 gave way to the Debut album ‘acoustic archive’. With a very acoustic sound, deeply rooted in the blues. Ann’s love for Dark, underground sounds & odd music genres called her to a greater challenge, a deep desire to break free from a box and create her own style.
It was then that the much anticipated 2nd album “KICKING SAWDUST” launched in Cape Town, South-Africa in MARCH 2015, with a more powerful sound than ever before. On this album Ann is joined by an 8 piece band on different instruments including Trumpet, Celo, Banjo, Saxophone, Accordion and many more. It features some of South Africa’s finest talent and has featured on many Music Review Platforms such as ‘Kalulah Inflight Magazine’, ‘Kfm Radio’s Artist of the Week’, ‘Texx and the City Album Review’, ‘Wat Kyk Jy’, ‘European Music Bloggers Forum” and many more.
With a Dark Folk, Gypsy-SKA undertone, Ann’s passion for experimenting has driven her to many different recipes for great entertainment.
“It’s nice to see a band live up to the hype. Ann Jangle is quite frankly one of the finest front women you will see, furiously strumming at her guitar and singing in a wild, deep voice”
– LMG Magazine Feb.2013

“Her second Album “Kicking Sawdust is a massive piece of work with big, bold sounds and a rich variety of styles and genres, something they have pulled off to an almost-flawless degree.”
– Texx and the City 2015

“Her sexy, husky voice & dark lyrics casts a spell on you, hypnotizes you and then you find yourself in a alternate world of black magic folk, blues & gypsy jazz carnival like a whirlwind about to blow your brain. Sax , trumpet – eerie folk blues – and sometimes if you are not looking , hard rock riffs that bring you home again. The music tempos fast and slow – highs and lows that sweep you away . I don’t know – she’s a rock and roll Marlene Dietrich – singer- alien child of blues. I don’t have a favorite song. I listen to it like i do to a good vinyl – from start to finish . But I must say, ‘Ann Rangle’ and ‘A Good Day For sarcasm’ passed the goosebump test . Fucking hell . Best album of 2015 so far for me.”
– Wat kyk jy Music Review May 2015

Since starting her career as a full time musician in 2011, Ann was solely based in Cape Town, South-Africa, but has recently relocated back from a 2 year journey in EUROPE where she spent her time touring, playing music in over 20 countries. She was mostly based in Berlin, Germany, as this was where her deep desire to gain more experience and knowledge of music internationally satisfied her most.
“Ann is a unique specimen, a breath of fresh air to the underground music scene. She is who she is, come rain or shine. Her lyrics are quite shocking at times and pierces through the bullshit of today’s personas people hide behind. I’m excited to be witnessing her growth” – Berlin Underground music Blog September 2015
Since 2015 no new music has been released by Ann Jangle untill now. It has been a crazy transformation. August 2017 gives way to the first single, Nothing Left, off of her 3rd album.
