Emerging from lockdown, the band Defwing brings a sound inspired by funk, psychedelic rock, hip hop, disco, and pop to the Cape Town music scene.
The 5-piece band consists of Christian Wing on vocals and bass, Benjamin Defty on vocals and guitar, Thomas Purvis on lead guitar, Oscar van der Spuy on keys, and Tom Foster on drums. Having started as a genre-bending musical experiment during the national lockdown last year, the group’s unique sound garnered attention quickly and began performing live shows as soon as venues opened up.
With an EP launched on August 20th and a music video in the works, DefWing is a name to look out for in the South African music scene charts in the near future.
