Heroes Wear Red & Graeme Watkins Project

Heroes Wear Red are performing with Man as Machine and the Graeme Watkins Project at Tings 'n Times on the 4th June.

If the name Graeme Watkins rings some bells, that's because you might remember Graeme from his Idols days, but what the Graeme Watkins Project are now creating is like nothing before heard in this country.

More from their press release:
GWP has an international-competing production quality, unique instrumental ideas and complex, innovative sample tracks. This has allowed GWP to enter seamlessly into the realm of Electro-Indie, where they are fast finding their feet, ready to battle the big players.

This is evident in their recent successes. GWP’s first single “Real World”, off the debut album “Corridors of the Mind”, received immense interest receiving high rotation nationally on several of SA’s leading radio stations.

This unit has managed to break the “cookie-cutter” mould of stereotypically SA music, producing a handful of fresh, new original tracks – each lined with raw, pure emotion. 

It goes without saying that this gig is not to be missed. More information is available on the Facebook event page.

Heroes Wear Red

A band born of melody, song writing maturity and focused vision, beyond its mere three year existence. This is the pedigree with which HEROES WEAR RED presents its self to the world.

As is the developmental process of a band, HEROES now finds its self settled, in the form of a four piece, able to create melancholy, light and shade, with the precision of pop appeal.

HEROES, founded by bassist Gavin Wienand and vocalist Timothy Kroon, prove to be a formidable song writing team, rounded off by the new addition of drummer Patrick Smith and guitarist Tumi Mothei. The subtle use of programming, combined with energy of a rock band that delivers strong pop songs is a formula which proves to be fresh and widely appealing.

2008 saw the independent release of the band’s debut album, “SURVIVING SEPTEMBER”. The limited and exclusive release to retail will in 2009 step up a gear.

HEROES have joined forces with MUSKETEER RECORDS to further improve on the success of this already critically acclaimed album. Co- produced and mixed, with additional programming by American producer Rae Dileo, known for his work on Filter, Veruca Salt and Henry Rollins, to name a few, brings international quality to the album.

HEROES plans to carry its sound work ethic into a new phase of this album with national tours and a new wave of promotion. Exclusive merchandise, new and unreleased material on line, and videos all to come, NOW is the time to listen!
