Biography
Uncle Spike is a 5-piece band from Stellenbosch, South Africa. Their unique blend of rap, South African rock, jazz and classical sounds have combined to form their debut, independently released album, I in the Sky. After meeting and jamming together in their university residence, Wilgenhof, the band soon took shape. Uncle Spike has quickly started gaining local traction around Cape Town and Stellenbosch, where they are now making a name for themselves. "...they perform their songs in both English and Afrikaans, mixing reggae, blues and rock into a formula that is hard to pin down into a single genre. This freedom allows the band to be as creative with their music as they want and is part of the reason they continue to grow and mature so quickly." - MatieMedia (Josh du Plessis) Members: Marcel van der Veen (Lead Guitar) Paul Twekye (Rap/Bass) Francois van Wyk (Lead Vocals) Mike Burke (Sax) Lood van Niekerk (Drums)
