The Sir Walrus Band is a groove-based, electric four-piece instrumental outfit and easily one of South Africa’s most exciting young bands in any style. The Sir Walrus Band is known for writing catchy melodies that genuinely stick with the listener, before diving head-on into improvisation and musical exploration, as well as for superb, tight performances. The Sir Walrus Band sits comfortably in the swing, groove, funk and rock spectrums and writes interesting, complex and contrasting fusion pieces as well as re-arranges covers to the point of bare recognition. The Sir Walrus Band prides itself on having an unusual musical balance that has seen the band perform the same set in front of Rock, Blues, Jazz and even Heavy-Metal audiences and has remained tasteful to them all.
