As a young boy, Brendon's first interests for music were kindled by his father and uncle: two brothers that played together in their own band as young men. Still pulling out the old acoustics whenever the party at home gets out of had (which is surprisingly often!) the Sole brothers still crank up the volume, and with teeth bared and veins bulging they display that unwavering passion and flair that they are so well loved for. Dave & John have an enthusiasm and charisma that is second to none. It was these two that showed Brendon the power and magic that can be enjoyed through the simple pleasures of good live music.

At 16, on a skiing holiday in Austria, Brendon was inspired by a fantastic lead guitarist thrashing away at the Dire Straits and Rock'n'Roll numbers at all the raucous après ski festivities. His memories of these evenings have inspired him through many frustrating practice sessions, and Sultans of Swing and numerous other challenges have subsequently been conquered (much to his own surprise!)

Caz comes from a musical family but more on the classical side, with flute lessons and choir practices, orchestras and music camps. She didn't hesitate at the thought of singing modern pop and Rock 'n' Roll with her newfound boyfriend at university. In fact it probably suits her character a little better with that mane of red hair! Her dad, though himself not a huge fan of "modern thump", still glows with pride to see his little girl up on stage!

In Cape Town during their university years, many raucous evenings were spent down at Quay Four at the Waterfront watching their favourite soloist, François. He had a way of making those tricky numbers look so easy and was a great contact for Rockafella as they got their band started up, helping them with many ideas and useful links to get going.

We look forward to returning all these favours by ourselves being an inspiration to somebody else one day.

With the hope of spending some time playing on cruise ships and abroad, Bren and Caz have a dream to return home to Southern Africa. Their home country Zimbabwe is in a bad way and South Africa is speculated to deteriorate, but amongst the chaos and destruction, there is a way of life and a natural beauty that means so much to those who know it. There is a treasure of musical talent and opportunity that has barely been touched. Brendon, a sound and recording engineer, wants to set up his own audiovisual company and continue to do sound and audio for the film and TV industries. Where he can. he would love to work with bands and encourage the musical talent that so seldom gets the chance, and to work on projects for films & documentaries. There is also a distinct lack of live bands to cater for weddings and private functions in Zim, and they look forward to bringing home the joys that come hand in hand with great live music.
