Toxic Shame was an exceptional songwriting team comprised of Jon Buckley and Deon DuToit. Having met in 1991, in 1996 they decided to get together "once a week and write a song". By the end of the century, the writing and production was starting to attract attention from major labels, and over the next few years, between 2000 and 2003, three albums were released and a band was formed in order to perform the music live.

HIGHWAY JAM
Highway Jam is a South African blues-rock, funk jazz-fusion band that was founded by Durban-born surfer/muso, Mike Meiring, in the early 1990s. It emerged from the shady streets of Melville, Johannesburg, as a blues-rock/garage-grunge band with a strong surf culture credo of ‘living life to the fullest and partying hard’. After changes in the line-up, and since having added jazz-fusion and world elements to its style, Highway Jam has been pushing a ‘music for music’s sake’ agenda in a variety of genres. Its overriding focus has been on freedom of musical expression and artistic creativity.
