set to rock BenRock"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>The BenRock Festival line-up would not be complete without rock\/metal band Anubis.<\/p>\n<p>The band hails from Brakpan and was founded in 2013 by bassist and backing vocalist Leon Kruger.<\/p><div class=\"stream-item stream-item-in-post stream-item-inline-post aligncenter\"><\/div>\n<p>The original members were Duane van Niekerk on lead guitar and vocals, Fran-cois Burger on rhythm and lead guitars, Ruan van Biljon on drums and Leon on bass.<\/p>\n<p>Anubis has performed shows around South Africa with top SA names, such as Van Coke Cartel, Prime Circle and Black Cat Bones, just to mention a few.<\/p><div class=\"stream-item stream-item-in-post stream-item-inline-post aligncenter\"><\/div>\n<p>In October 2016 Ruan decided to leave the band and shortly thereafter Fran-cois.<\/p>\n<p>Looking for a new drummer, Anubis was faced with a lot of challenges, but eventually found Martin Digovich, who filled the position.<\/p>\n<p>Anubis is currently recording their first album, entitled \u201cAwaken\u201d, which will be released soon.<\/p>\n<p>Their hopes and dreams are to make it big in the music industry, which they know will be hard, but they will rock on to get there.<\/p>\n<p>BenRock is set to take place in Germiston on May 6 at The Beer Co and Runway Beach Bar, situated in Dakota Crescent, near Rand Airport.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Related articles:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/germistoncitynews.co.za\/149721\/alternative-rockers-to-heat-up-the-stage\/\">Alternative rockers to heat up the
