The Festival @ St Dunstan\u2019s, in partnership with the GCN\u2019s sister paper Benoni City Times, brings Locnville to the stage to perform a day before their birthday.<\/p>\n
Brian and his twin Andrew Chaplin released their extended play (EP) \u201cAfrican Icon Vol. 1\u201d on March 10 and cannot wait to showcase their talent with not only the rest of their fans, but Benoni in particular.<\/p>
\u201cYou cannot miss The Festival, because it is going to be a party,\u201d Brian said.<\/p>\n
The duo understand crazy because they have had many crazy experiences.<\/p>
\u201cWe were once in Europe and had a fall-out with the person who was managing us,\u201d Brian said.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo we went our separate ways. Andrew and I wandered for two months, knowing nothing about the place.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe then got a friend of ours to act like our manager.\u201d<\/p>\n
But they are not the only ones who have done crazy things \u2013 their fans have too.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe once had fans in Port Elizabeth who dressed up like they were in the media and then went through our dressing rooms,\u201d Andrew said.<\/p>\n
The Sun in my Pocket artists said their journey to success has been great, but they have yet to break the surface of what is yet to come.<\/p>\n
\u201cOne of the most common misconceptions about us is that people think we are not hands-on in the full production of our music,\u201d Andrew said.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut we are \u2013 we write, produce, record and mix our own music.\u201d<\/p>\n
The duo also said that upcoming artists must keep two things handy \u2013 a good lawyer and good knowledge about the industry.<\/p>\n
Apart from their love for music, the twins also started their own record label called CB \u2013 which stands for ContraBanned.<\/p>\n
\u201cStay tuned for new artists, events, clothing and much more,\u201d Andrew said.<\/p>\n
Brian and Andrew also hinted that they could bring along a guest to join them on stage like they usually do.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis festival is going to be amazing and the line-up is amazing,\u201d the duo said.<\/p>\n
