3rd World Spectator To Rock Gauteng

3rd World Spectator formed in late 2007, and debuted in early 2008 with an infectious blend of soaring, operatic vocals, haunting melodies, huge guitars and rolling drums. Their lyrical themes mimic the diverse hybrid of styles they incorporate into their music such as electronica, hard and indie rock, opera and pop.

Best known for their meteoric rise to first place during the Virgin Mobile Road To V competition in late 2008, they have been making headlines ever since. Not content to be just another local act, their performances transcend the ordinary. Part theatre and part rock star chic, their live performances are fraught with an energy that consumes the senses and elevates the soul. Sharing the stage with the likes of international bands such as Maroon 5 and One Republic confirmed their status as a highly engaging stage act.

3rd World Spectator has featured in every major publication, been named one of the Top 10 Acts To See in 2009 by Tonight, signed a major endorsement deal with PF Flyers International and their single, The Truth reached number 2 on the MK MXitMusic Top 5 and also made the MXitMusic Top 20 Biggest Songs of 2008.

The band has completed work on their debut full length album entitled The Theory Of Everything. The recording sessions took place at Sunset Recording Studios with award-winning producer and engineer Jurgen Von Wechmar (Springbok Nude Girls, Foto Na Dans, Jax Panik, Karen Zoid) at the helm of the production. The album was mastered by John Davis (U2, Florence & The Machine, The Prodigy, Snow Patrol, The Temper Trap) at Metropolis Studios in London, United Kingdom.

In June 2011 they signed a record deal with Universal Records and the album is scheduled for release later this year. In the meantime, you can catch them during their Gauteng tour at one of the following shows:
