eVoid - Shadows

[dxfreight]

Boet Fuaaaaaark man.....here am i light years away in perth wishing i was sitting at kingspark with my south african buddies smoking pot and listening to our local 80s music.

[flyingrchelicopter]

Good old times, the 80s, man school in Grahamstown.

[peterswale]

Amazing memories from the eighties and some of the characters I met in the army. Civvies have been boring since ;) Thanks for the upload.

[pambenink1]

Eish... This takes me back...

[scotlanddays]

Thanks for uploading. Brings back some great memories of life growing up in Cape Town and Durban.

[naomihodge67]

Good music, good times. The 80's in Jo'burg and Durbs was the best. This brings back memories, all of them sweet.

[harryh2011]

OMG, this is so F@#king awesome, I grew up to this & love it. So hard to find but wonderfull. Thanks

[TheNightmareAssasin]

guys i swear to you, erik windrich is now working at my high school in london, england. The name of the school is kingsbury high school

[zs6djm]

@TheNightmareAssasin I think you are right.

[Cushnaghan]

What about this one Don & Wayne.I can still feel my neck hurting today.

[Sledge101]

Hey dude, thanks for posting these classics. To risk an overused phrase, they simply don't make 'em like this any more. I just wish I'd appreciated these bands (Ella Mental, Via Afrika etc) more when I was 14!

Do you know 'Teddy Boy' by the Spectres? It's a brilliant song by an SA band, and I can't find it anywhere!?

[abrnt1]

this is awful

[CherryPie19960703]

good old south african music :) :) <3 never gets old <3

[vonickles]

all I can say after being away for 2 years or so is......................miss REAL sunshine!

raw energy

thanks for posting :))

[AfricanSouthernCross]

@furakkueroru Don't talk shit you fucking blind cunt!!!!

[furakkueroru]

@AfricanSouthernCross England its a shithole! The only good thing is the dole. That is my opnion so what!

[PeterGair]

@furakkueroru I am a South African living here as well, I have one thing to say - If you dont like it go home, same as we said to the immigrants back home in the 70's

[furakkueroru]

@PeterGair I am English. Theyre all trying to evoid the shadows (avoid the blacks)

[SONGWRITEROFTHEYEAR]

so we are now the 'when we's'

[pablolima123]

Van der Heever! Legend Shadow!!!

[lookandhear]

I have been living in Germany for the past 11 years and finding this brings back brilliant memories of jolls & friends in Jo'burg. Thanks for the upload Rockafrica

[cytotoxix]

As a South African, I will not be insulted in my own country, be it by some "enlightened" expat who should spend a few rounds in a prison cell with black men, or some traitorous white

pro-ANC SA vermin who should receive his comeuppance sooner than later.

[AfricanSouthernCross]

@cytotoxix Fully agree with you...it seems this fuck up calling herself "rockafrika" is one of these so-called "enlightened" cunts.

[cytotoxix]

This Rockafrica dude thinks because he can post a great SA song that he has the right to play Julius Malema. Does this "thing" live in SA ? Has he or his wife been raped ? Family members murdered ? Robbed lately ? This is internet, so do not dictate to anyone. You don't like comments, then go to Nazi Germany - and take Malema with you.

[cytotoxix]

"saffers" is what the Australians, aka "the convicts", call us South Africans. Never mind.

[cytotoxix]

Great song from an era when we could actually APPRECIATE this once-lovely country of ours. Nowadays we have to put up with a kaffir government, potholes, murders, rapes, and

"Pope" Angus Buchan.

[mindispower]

Go Saffers!

[galya]

i guess they were KING of Kings , once, very briefly along time ago...

[CharltonKuhn]

Lekkerrrrr

[naughtydesigora]

why does this song bring back so many memories!

[2000jago]

I guess that's a rhetorical question.

Great song great times.

[redokwarro]

too much blah blah, in my opinion i love saffers when issues dont become the issue. rock on and long live great music!!!

[2000jago]

"saffers" - now what the hell is that? Did you just make it up?

[ritselritsel]

Wow...too many memories rush back...thanx for posting..it made my 39year old SA heart beat a bit faster.

[verliefopjou]

Bang on and thanx for uploading..wow..good memories..nice 1

[villan1981]

Great band. Brilliant song!!!!

[spoorwegaltyd]

I had to use a calculator to figure out last time I heard this song answer, 25 years. Thanks for posting. Memories of South Africa!!

[ldr]

Hehe,turned 40 in Oct and came over this!!! Seems a life time ago!!! Too many memories!

[jdspinto]

Ja, these guys were deffinatly under rated.

[SuzukiStix]

EVOID the ultimate band of the 80's remember my 125 DT Yamaha and EVOID long live EVOID Rabbit alright never had the genuis of Evoid except for Rabin

[Nipper64]

They were'nt bad, but Rabbit were the best, ahead of there time

[Nipper64]

Wayne Harker, the drummer,the cousin, the wanker

[tezhed]

Where was that at....Zipppers by any chance

[Nyongoro]

You ouens behind the Boerewors Curtain had some pretty big bands in the 80s - Psycho Reptiles, No Friends of Harry, Bright Blue, Sweatband, etc, during the days of Local is Lekker ekse!!!!

[Nyongoro]

I remember being on holiday in SA back over Christmas back in '83 & there was the song 'Reaching out' by Pierre de Charmoy that sounded really cool; does anyone possibly have it & could kindly post it please as it would be great to hear it again? Cheers man.

[Tintalasia]

Nyongoro, I see your comment is old now, so you've probably seen it, but Reaching out by Pierre de Charmoy is on Youtube now. Just do a search : )

[shamways]

Great song,great times.Saw them at the Brass bell in CT

[EurovisionHorror]

I've been looking like mad on the net for Face To Face song Here We Are, or Night Of The Long Knives, but the internet had never heard of such group, so i was so suprised to find this one

[Sledge101]

One of Face to Face went to Randpark High School in the mid 80s... it's a long shot coz I don't remember his name but it could be a lead if you're in Friends Reunited or Facebook?

[tezhed]

Didnt the fella have a beaver mullet.......black and white ala Limahl

[kakashiace]

are you in jhb mother fucker lets meet and see who is the ass wipe ill fuck you up so your mother wont recognize you so lets meet give me a time and a place ill be there

[tezhed]

you seem to be some mother fuker sad ou.......

[Nyongoro]

How so? Because l remember old SA music? So WTF?

[maheshino]

Thanks for posting SA music, broe. When I hear these numbers I wish I was back in Durbs.

Still looking out for ZX Dan, The Buccuaneer, Charlie, etc.

I read all the non-musical comments. Pity we get stuck in that groove and cant move on.

SA people check out Sprinbok Radio website

[Rockafrika]

Thanks for your comments maheshino - no problem :o) Glad to hear that most people are enjoying the music & that it's bringing back some good memories. Hope to add a few more in time. I think Rabbits "Charlie" might be on here already.

[iannsa]

@maheshino , fully agree with you. also from durbs - been all over, but durbs is home man. love this place. a true melting pot in more ways than one.

[riocia18]

[ianhatfield]

Remember them from a hotel in Hillbrow, forget the name?

Oldtimers disease lol!

Taximan and Shadows 2 great songs!

Chicken run victim in NJ

Cheers

[rachaelov]

yeah - I saw them in Durban back in 80's - along with ellamental, the gents, gay marines...

[autogismo]

I saw them twice in the Chelsea Hotel in Hillbrow in 1982 when I was 17 with a bunch of mates. Went to school in the morning! Great band, great days, great friends who I still know today. 26 years ago seems like yesterday

[suryavajra]

I'm an American and this is a pretty awesome 1980s song. Some good friends of mine here on youtube recommended it to me.

[gouik1]

Please where can i find evoid sonngs on cd!!!

[donnidolittle]

OMG!! Finally been waiting for this for ages! Wonderboom's version is nice though!

[jeremiahnicholas]

Thanks so much for this! This was my favorite song that I heard while living in South Africa. I would hear it while shopping in the grocery stores in Summerstrand. Then by mere coincidence I saw Wonderboom play it in Port Elizabeth- Little did I know then that it was a cover. Thanks for the insight.

[blackswaninsurgency]

Saw them live at Pietermaritzburg university in the 80's. Their live version of their song "The Warrior" was awesome I remember!

Anyone remember The Helicopters? Petit Cheval? Dog Detachment?

[KalahariSurf]

lol i remeber them all. how about Falling Mirror and the Kalahari Surfers?

Sweatband, Askari etc etc?

Good times:))

[MMPPark]

I remember Petit Cheval. OMG That's a blast from the past. Thanks for the memory flashes :))

[scammersmustdie]

Fucken awesome!!!!!

[Lockergay]

If only the world knew what Tallent was lurking in Deepest Darkest South Africa - during the bald old days --

evoid, Deep Blue, Johnny Clegg and Juluka and and and...

Wonderfull stuff!

[africaking]

Love this song so much, the bass is just awesome....junk jive was great too

[Ch4rlieH4rper1978]

got TAXIMAN ??

[Rockafrika]

Hi there. Yes I have got Taximan & trying to do a few other S.A. classics as well. Watch this space :o)

[Lockergay]

If you could get Taximan on here that would be Fab...

Can you remember a SA Female Artist, Lesley Rae Downling?

[Rockafrika]

Have finally got around to posting Taximan... sorry, don't have any Lesley Rae Dowling though

[Ch4rlieH4rper1978]

do you have HEY BOY by VIA AFRIKA ?

[Rockafrika]

Ha ha... funnily enough... that's what I was working on next :o)

[rodsdca]

that was the best song to ever come out of sa i love it so much it brings back such memories of the hey days in sa

[kmfw72]

What heydays? When South Africa was a pariah, subject to a cultural boycott, which even applied to Ladysmith Black Mambazo? At least South African artists aren't subject to that any more.

[kmfw72]

I do like the song, though!

[riocia18]

"what heydays" the heydays when a person could walk down your road without being fearful of being attacked or your wife raped by some black bastard, those heydays remember them??

[splutonium]

oh shut the fuck up or leave the country. Can't bare all the fucking bullshit moaning and exagerattion. Seriously just fuck off somewhere else.

[riocia18]

why don't you go and fuck your dog you asswipe, so you obviously one of those fuckheads that feel everything is just a okay, well if you a black poes or a kaffir cock sukka then you will just be loving lapping it all up you cunt, now take my advice and go bend for that kaffir...seriously

[Rockafrika]

Please do not use my Channel to make abusive, bigotted or racist remarks. Most of us are here to enjoy the music. If you don't have any constructive comments to make, don't make any at all. Thanks

[riocia18]

[Robi6942]

[Tintalasia]

Rockafrica, kudos to you for trying to squish the negative political commentary on your posts! I'm so tired of reading them. The music is great! Thanks for uploading : )

[kakashiace]
