Whatsup!
So its that time again folks where we turn our sounds into visuals. After our debut video "Maybe Baby" kicking ass and taking names we decided its time for another. We have chosen a big crowd pleaser and I'm proud to announce "Kisses and Cane" will be in your face sooner than you can say ear orgasm.
In other thrilling news Southern Pulse has taken us under their wing and things are taking off. Gigs are coming in thick and fast. Margate , empangeni , jhb , pta , potch and also our hometown of Durban. Keep your eyes peeled for when we invade your city and come join us for a cracker party!
P.s album on its way!! look out for our big blue bus cruising through the city!
Keep squeaking those takkies.
Be kiff.

Another year full of excitement ahead!
We have just launched our latest music video and I can tell you, we are super stoked. We joined forces with the very awesome and ruggedly handsome Devin Carter and his team from iKind Media. This masterpiece was shot at the end of last year in the slick, yet stylish nightclub, Casa Nostra in Florida Road, Durban. The youtube video of the final product racked up a massive 2000 hits in the first 10 days. We had great fun working with the guys and girls from iKind Media. Please do yourself a favour and go check out what else these talented individuals have been working on.
The video has made it onto the airwaves, it makes its debut on DSTV's South African music chanel, MK some time during the course of next week. Keep an eye out for it. Or better yet, view it right here
Other than that we have some killer shows coming up. We are just finalizing the last details. Be sure to check back regularly for updates.
Rock n Roll!!!

Good Times ahead guys...
So to firstly get you up to date, you may know we have been working on our "Nine Lives" so to speak. Well the good news is we have finally received it back from mastering and it is ready to go to print and distribution. We will however keep you posted as to where and when it will be available; we are aiming for early next year.
In the mean while we have had a brief visit to middle earth Pretoria, drank ork-ale with the good folk and found ourselves winning a spot into the finals of the KFC sessions this Saturday the 23rd Oct in Hatfield Square.
Lastly, on a personal note, Gareth is now single again for the first time in 4 years! So all I can say is: Ladies, iImagine for one second a falsely accused innocent man, kept in a cell of depravation for half a decade, and is now available and ready for some loving. Just imagine the energy and good years left in this one. Need I say more?
Have a great day fellow Thieves. See you Saturday.... (Or early Sunday morning)

So its that time again where we give you a rundown of what we have been
getting up to over the last couple of months. One of the most exciting
highlights is that we have taken up bowls as a way to meet chicks and get in
some exercise at the same time...I know what you thinking, GENIUS right?
In more
important news our debut album Nine Lives is a mouse kick away from being
released. It is a 12 track foot-stomping-sister-slapping- seduction. It should
hit stores around mid-November. This also brings many other developments in
terms of tours, videos and shows so keep your eyes peeled! Also we are finally
going to touch down on Gauteng soil for the first time in October. There are
also tours to Grahamstown, Cape Town, Johannesburg, Newcastle and Bloem in the
works. Follow us on our Facebook page to get dates, times and venues of when you

Hey guys, it feels great to be back in Durban, where the sun never sets. As some of you know we've had the pleasure of going on tour to Cape Town. Some would say lucky, I say dangerously fun. Between Gareth's driving and Shane's cooking we've made some sweet memories. soon you will be blessed with pics of all that has happened in the last few weeks. From Zebra and Giraffe gigs to Mr Price Pro, from free pizza in Camps Bay to hippie food in Sea Point. Anyhow, thanks for all the support guys and gals. Soon the Thieves will be taking our music to Television. We start shooting "She Smiles", in the near future and completion of the album soon to follow.
Many thanks
